Down near the bottom of the left sidebar on this website there’s a little box for donations to the beer bulletin. It’s been up for at least a few weeks now, and while I didn’t expect to be showered with money, I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. I put it out of the way on purpose because I didn’t want to be too obvious about it. But I spend a lot of time on the bulletin and many people seem to enjoy it, so I figured perhaps some of them might want to put something in the tip jar, so to speak. Happily, I’ve gotten a couple of donations, mostly from friends. But a few days ago I got my first donation from a perfect stranger and I wanted to reward their generosity by pimping their business. They didn’t ask me to do so, and that’s precisely why I want to. It was a selfless gesture. So Bob, thank you very much for your donation. It was much appreciated and brightened my day considerably.
Kustom Koozies makes those insulated foam things that keep the beer in your can or bottle at a cool temperature. And they can customize them with your logo or event for a pretty low price. They carry both the fat ones and also the thinner ones that can be folded. They have a large variety of colors available, too. And best if all, there’s a minimum of only 12. Of course, the more you order, the lower the price.
As cans get more popular for craft beer, this may be a good way for those breweries to spread their name by putting their logo on a koozie. But be sure to use the koozie to keep your beer cold just until you pour it into the glass, unless of course you’re at an outdoor event where glass isn’t permitted.
