CraftGeer Debuts Brand at Morristown, New Jersey's Big Brew Beer Fest

This past weekend, the CraftGeer.com team took their apparel and glassware products offline for the first time ever as they hit the Big Brew Beer Fest in their own backyard in Morristown, New Jersey.

"Honestly, I barely slept for the week leading up to the event," said Joe Simonovich, co-founder of CraftGeer. "I want people to embrace the brand, and when you're representing your own brand in front of people, you really want them to like you."

From the turnout at the CraftGeer booth, it seemed like the first event for the CraftGeer team.

"It was a lot of fun," said Jenn Polino, co-founder of CraftGeer. "We got to meet a lot of people, and it was especially exciting to see how many of them actually knew about CraftGeer - some were even wearing tees from us (pictured above)."

All in all, the CraftGeer team determined that their first beer fest was a success, and already have more events planned for the coming months.

"Over the next few weeks, we'll be making some announcements on where we're coming next," said Simonovich. "We're excited for all of the events that we've signed up to become part of, and we're even more excited to get out there and become an even bigger part of the craft beer community."

CraftGeer Now Accepting International Orders Only Through PayPal

Since we launched CraftGeer.com in March of 2013, we have not tried to hide the fact that the International Craft Beer Community has embraced the CraftGeer brand, as a matter of fact, we have been very proud of the fact that our products have been ordered from places like Brazil, Netherlands, England, Italy, Germany, Japan, Australia, Sweden, Germany, and more places that I know I am leaving out. We love the fact that CraftGeer, our Denville, New Jersey based start-up has fans rocking our ‘Geer’ on 6 continents (time step up your craft beer game Antarctica).

In many ways, this announcement that CraftGeer.com will only accept PayPal for orders placed outside the United States from today on is a good thing. It means that CraftGeer is looking out for you, our customers, insuring that when you place an order on our site, the item you want is in stock, and hasn’t been sent out to someone who may not be purchased it due to the fact that they are a member of our craft-beer-loving community.

All of that being said, effective immediately, all orders with billing or shipping addresses outside the United States which use a credit card on CraftGeer.com will be rejected – only orders using PayPal as payment method will be processed on our site. As has always been the case, all orders shipping internationally will ship via USPS International Priority Mail, and you will be billed the actual cost of shipping. We use USPS International Priority Mail exclusively for our international customers, due to the fact that it is traceable by the customer from start to finish.

If anyone would like a further explanation international shipping policy, please contact our customer service team – we’ll be glad to explain this policy in further detail.

THE LOGO TANK from CraftGeer

The number one request we had from from female CraftGeer.com customers we received in our first two months of having the site live was; what about a tank top?

So we figured, the only way to answer those request was to simply, create a tank top - introducing THE LOGO TANK from CraftGeer.

THE LOGO TANK is black, with a white imprint of the CraftGeer Hops and Crossbones logo (slightly distressed). It is made up of 57% cotton, 38% polyester and 5% spandex. It has 40 singles for extreme softness.

THE LOGO TANK is the perfect Summertime addition to any craft beer loving woman's wardrobe. It is available in sizes S-2XL, and the sizes run slightly small, so it might be a good idea to go up one size when ordering.

And remember, THE LOGO TANK from CraftGeer is available exclusively at CraftGeer.com.

Meet THE LOGO TEE from CraftGeer

The idea behind the CraftGeer, Hops and Crossbones logo was that no matter what, it could stand alone, and be recognized. Besides the widely photographed, and shared CraftGeer Snifter, THE LOGO TEE is the best example of the logo standing unmistakably alone.

The men's version of THE LOGO TEE features the CraftGeer Hops and Crossbones logo (slightly distressed) on heather charcoal, crewneck t-shirt. It is preshrunk, 65% polyester and 35% cotton sheer jersey with 40 singles for extreme softness. Inside is the screened CraftGeer tag featuring the logo and #craftgeer hashtag. This shirt runs slightly small, so you may want to purchase a size larger than normal.

The women's version of THE LOGO TEE also features the CraftGeer Hops and Crossbones logo (slightly distressed), however this one is on a dark gray tee, and has the easy comfort of a men's tee, but with a flattering cut.It is preshrunk 100% combed cotton jersey with 32 singles for extreme softness. Inside is the screened CraftGeer tag featuring the logo and #craftgeer hashtag. This shirt runs slightly small, so you may want to purchase a size larger than normal. 

Both the men's and women's versions of THE LOGO TEE from CraftGeer make the perfect addition to any craft beer lovers' wardrobe - and we guarantee, you won't be able to go to your favorite bar, bottle shop or brewery without someone asking you about it.

THE LOGO TEE from CraftGeer is available in sizes S-XXL, and are currently available exclusively on CraftGeer.com.

More CraftGeer is on the Way

Before we say anything else, we first want to say thank you. Thank you for making the first few weeks of CraftGeer.com's existence a huge success. It's only because you have accepted us into the craft beer community that we know we're going to be able to bring you big things from CraftGeer for a long time to come.

All that being said, you have probably noticed that, at the moment, the selection of sizes and glassware selection on CraftGeer.com is either limited or non-existent (that's right, we're even out of THE SNIFTER from CraftGeer). The acceptance of CraftGeer has been overwhelming, we went through what was projected to be a 30-day supply of snifters in eight days - but we've adjusted, and have more products on the way.

Here's a little preview of what you can expect from CraftGeer over the next week or so:

• More of THE SNIFTER from CraftGeer 
• The new MASON BETTA from CraftGeer (Mason Jar)
• More sizes and updated colors in the tees you already love
• More tee shirt styles and designs (including v-neck tees)
• Women's Tank Tops and Tees
• Another, yet unnamed glass from CraftGeer

Now remember, this isn't stuff that we have in the works over the next six months, everything on this list will be in stock, and available online by the end of next week.

We appreciate your patience while we make inventory adjustments, and our vendors adjust to our needs. If you'd like to be among the first to know when all of these new items arrive, sign up for our mailing list at CraftGeer.com.

Thanks for your support, we truly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Joe and Jenn
Co-Founders, CraftGeer
