The Warbird draft tap handle is the flight control stick from the North American AT-6.  We got one out of an airplane, sent it to the guy who makes tap handles, and he made the handles from a mold.  Two ideas were important.  First, I wanted a tap handle that reminded people of our brand.  What better than the device you hold when you are flying?  Second, I wanted easy recognition of the beer style carried in each particular Warbird tap line..  So we simply put a color coded band right below the pistol grip of the stick.  Here is the recognition key for the Warbird Tap Control Sticks:
