Contacted them, the minimum order is 288 and they will start shipping this spring.
A little much for us, but they said they're looking for a way to service the smaller markets like us.
JQ
-
We could probably get them branded.
-
Yeah, they are including 2 laser etchings on the orders, but 288 might be a bit much to shift, of course we could start a bulk order thread and leave it open for 20 years until it fills!
JQ
-
what was the total price for the minimum order?

Seriously Dude, didn't even get near that discussion...they're stainless, when you look at my glass one retailing for $40, what do you figure they'll go for?
Even if they retail for the same price, then the wholesale is gotta be something like $30, that would put a pallet load at about $8,500...Then they'd have to be shipped here, from Portland, OR, cleared at the border, HST paid...you're talking best part of $11,000 before they're here.
Now if you can put together a plan to shift 250 of them via ebay or something, and a logo that would work for that kind of sale, and you're willing to split the venture I'd go for a quarter of the deal, you just need to find the rest of the investors that want to throw $3K in for a potential $1K in profits.
I'd love to be 'the guy' for them in Canada, but we're geographically challenged that way.

yeah, thats way more than we can enterain the posibility of. I bought some growlers (glass) for $4 in the US at retail price, I was thinking the wholesale on the stainless ones might be $10ish ea.
-
Tell ya what, I'll email them back and ask, it might be interesting to find out, make you a deal...I'll stick with a wholesale of $30, you take $10 and we can gamble a growler full of your next batch vs my next batch!
JQ

Holy Crap, I've sent an email and will see, if they're retailing for $10 we could do an order, put the Craftbrewing.ca logo on them and sell them as a fundraiser.

I'd definitely buy at least one if I could get them under $30 each.

no deal re: poker for kegs, you probably know more than I on this issue.
-
good finds Dean!

Can you send me a link to the thread? I just searched HBT for Zythos, Brauler, Zythosproject, Growler, $10 many combinations, the only thing I could find was Zythos hops for $10 a pound.

Yeah, found that thread, no price...
The only one I just did find was this thread...

Where some guy just spouts off at $10,
The first message posted says $34, that looks closer to right to me, but I'm still very willing to be proven wrong.
If they can be retailed for $10, I'll buy the 288 myself and sell them on ebay.
JQ
-
They look high quality, I can't see them selling for $10.
-
or they are stainless-steel look alikes made of lead.
-
Yeah... seems like a lot of marketing b.s. here.

Just got off the phone with the owner of Bitter and Esters, great guy.
Talked for half an hour or so about his wait for it...30 gallon Blichmann Electric Brewery! That conversation would take us a ways OT, so I'll stick to the topic...
He doesn't have any, never has. Doesn't know anyone who does have them for sale.
He was once quoted by a wholesaler a price for them that would have allowed him to retail them for $10 so he said what I said, I'll take a pallet load...then the invoice came in and it was for Amber Glass growlers.
He figures the retail will be between $30 and $40 when they finally do get to market.
He's asked me to post a note on HBT letting people know it's not correct.
JQ
-
hmm, marketing usually implies that there is an actual product to buy... thanks for finding out the situation.
-
I think there will be a product, but it's not to market yet.
They're building an order book before having them manufactured to maximize the profits.
I'll be interested to see how the manufacturer responds to the request for pallet pricing.
JQ
-
Just got a response from the manufacturer...
Greetings!
First let me apologize for taking so long to respond to you. We were having some manufacturing issues and didn't want to make promises we couldn't follow through with.
Our pricing is based on volume. The more you purchase, the better the price. We are looking at annual contracts with some of our customers and that helps them boost their volume. 144 units is our minimum, so you would qualify.
For your convenience, I have attached our standard Request for Quotation. Once we have received your completed form, we should be back to you within the week with a firm quote.
Incidentally, we just shipped our first bottles to a brewery in Portland, OR. Overnight, they have sold approximately half of their original order! We are all excited.
I'll send back the form and see what they have to say.
JQ
-
I decided not to send it in. How about you brew?
-
Brew and I both got the same form to fill out, thought he was going to send it in, I decided not to.
JQ
-
Nope never sent mine either - I got turned off by the form letter - I'd rather hold out until they are known to be shipping an actual product before trying to set something up with them. So far, its "vaporware"...

$50 + tax/shipping for an oversized Molson bottle. Noooooooooope. :lol:
-
+1 what Richard said.
now, I actually would consider paying $85 for a custom hand made growler, if nothing else, for the novelty of having a unique growler.
