Introducing CraftGeer Rewards - Get 3% Back on Every CraftGeer.com Order

We try to express with every CraftGeer order just how much we appreciate our CraftGeer.com customers - now we want to show.

We're introducing CraftGeer Rewards. With CraftGeer Rewards, you'll earn 3% back on every CraftGeer.com order. So for every dollar you spend, you'll earn 3 CraftGeer Rewards points. These points can be used on any future CraftGeer.com order.

In addition to earning CraftGeer Reward Points for placing orders, you can also earn points for doing the following things:
  • Earn Double Points when you purchase a polo shirt or hoodie on CraftGeer.com
  • Earn 100 points when you write a Product Review on CraftGeer.com for an item you have purchased
  • Earn 300 points when you refer someone who places an order
All you need to do to start earning is to create a CraftGeer account when making a purchase, if you've already created one, you've already earned points.

Note - if you placed an order with CraftGeer before we switched to our new site (during February or early March), you will see the points you earned added to your account in the next few days - we didn't forget about you.

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

CraftGeer.com Now Accepting PayPal


Well, we launched the new version of CraftGeer.com in mid-March, and we had two development goals to hit before the end of the month; accept PayPal as a form of payment and enable USPS International Priority Mail as a shipping option.

As of this moment, we can say that we are halfway there - CraftGeer.com now accepts PayPal (and we should be creating another post that says we now ship via USPS International Priority Mail by this time tomorrow).

So if it was the fact that CraftGeer.com didn't accept PayPal that was stopping you from becoming a member of the CraftGeer Family, you can now cross that off your list. And if it was the fact that THE SNIFTER from CraftGeer has been out of stock - that will be back this Wednesday (3/27).

Currently Out of Stock - THE SNIFTER from CraftGeer

THE SNIFTER from CraftGeer will be back in stock on Wednesday, March 27, 2013.

Okay, we're sorry. What can we say? You guys really love THE SNIFTER from CraftGeer, you love it so much that you've totally wiped out our entire inventory of them just seven days after launching the brand new CraftGeer.com.

So the good news is, more snifters are due in by the end of next week, and the even better news is that CraftGeer.com still has a great selection of Men's Geer, Women's Geer and the greatest fitted hat, made specifically for craft beer lovers, available anywhere.

If you'd like to know as soon as the next shipment of THE SNIFTER from CraftGeer follow us on Twitter and/or Instagram at @craftgeer.

Thanks so much for your overwhelming support for CraftGeer.

CraftGeer featured on MyBeerBuzz.com


Just want to say thanks to the team over at MyBeerBuzz.com for their recent post on CraftGeer and the launch of CraftGeer.com.

MyBeerBuzz.com has been one of our favorite craft beer blogs, since it's launch in 2008. We love the fact that they have a very simple mission: "Bringing Good Beers and Good People Together." They also have a special place with me, as they have spread their love and knowledge of craft beer throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania - the area where I grew up.

To check out MyBeerBuzz.com's post on the launch of CraftGeer.com, click here: CraftGeer.com - The World's First Lifestyle Brand for Craft Beer

For the sake of full disclosure, I want to let you know that we did include Bil of MyBeerBuzz.com in a mailing of CraftGeer products to members of the craft beer, social media community.

The New CraftGeer.com is Now Live

After about two months of hard work, and selling a ton of CraftGeer Snifter Glasses on a site we weren't too proud of, the brand new CraftGeer.com is finally live.

CraftGeer is the world's first premium lifestyle brand, aimed solely at the craft-beer-loving community. CraftGeer.com offers high-quality men's and women's "geer," which now includes t-shirts, polos and "headgeer." CraftGeer.com also features the iconic GraftGeer snifter glass, which has gained popularity by many early purchasers have been sharing with their craft-beer-loving friends by using the hashtag #craftgeer on Instagram and Twitter.

CraftGeer.com is the brainchild of the husband and wife team of Joe Simonovich and Jennifer Polino. The two love craft beer and the craft-beer community so much, they gave those leaving their wedding in 2010 the gift of a 750ml bottle of a custom-brewed wit beer, made using their favorite coffee, Peet's Major Dickason's Blend.

"CraftGeer is not a site put up to make a quick buck selling a few cheap shirts and subpar glassware," said CraftGeer co-founder, Jennifer Polino. "CraftGeer is a brand built to stay, we're already looking into 100% custom glassware designs, and some Spring and Summer, casual apparel choices that will really make people take notice."

Keep Calm and Add Hops, THE BREWMASTER TEE from CraftGeer


It seems like everyone has a shirt that let's you know you should keep calm and do something.

Seeing that the "Keep Calm" concept still works, we figured we should probably make it better - we should probably make it an awesome shirt that we would wear.

We took the trademarked CraftGeer Hops and Crossbones logo, and put it atop words to live by, pretty much a way for every homebrewer to keep their head when all around you are losing there's and blaming it on you - KEEP CALM AND ADD HOPS.

We can't think of better advice than that, and if the first time you add hops doesn't work, add more hops.

THE BREWMASTER TEE from CraftGeer is available for both men and women, the men's version is heather charcoal with a white distressed imprint, it is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL. The women's version is pink t-shirt with a white distressed imprint, it is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and 2XL (women's sizes run slightly small). THE BREWMASTER TEE from CraftGeer are $22.00 each ($23.00 each for XXL and 2XL).
