Thanks for the nice words

We received nice words from the people at Lawson's Finest Liquids on the quality of our 16 oz can cooler.  Thanks, and thanks for the re-order we're glad it's selling well for you.  From everything we can see for comments on your Facebook page, the beer is even better then the can cooler!  We'll have to take your word for it since distribution isn't reaching our home in Minnesota.

Pint Glass cooler

With the fast growing market of Growlers, more and more of us are drinking our beer the right way; poured into a glass.  Now you just might need a cooler for these hot months, and we can make some both for your Gift Shop or your promotional needs.  It feature a full wrap around imprint, and it works on red solo cups TOO!  And you know plastic doesn't keep a beer cool.

Our Best Selling Key Strap

A few years ago we noted how so many young people use our lanyards as key rings, so we made it more accessible to everyone by reducing the length to strap for your wrist rather than your neck.  It was well received, it's the key ring fob that's soft in a pocket, easy to find in a purse, and can be looped and quickly tied to anything.  Our second generation put a bottle opener and a carabiner clip, and just like that we created one of the best key rings to have if you love micro-brews.  Don't take our word for it, Pearl Street is excited about it's sell through.

And YES Pearl Street is an experienced brewery, but still a great up and coming brewery; read more

Get Involved

One of our associates is highly active in the Great River Folk Fest so we helped him out with their first promotional can cooler.  Now they have all summer to remind the great folks in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa that they should attend the 40th Anniversary August 28-30 down at Riverside Park in La Crosse Wi.  We are proud to have supplied the cooler that also gives a shout out to their micro-brewer sponsor, Pearl Street Brewery  their wine sponsor, Elmaro Vineyard, and their grocery store sponsor where you can buy both, The People's Food Co-op



Pictured in front of the D.T.B Brown Ale is the Key Strap with opener that we helped with last year.

One of the great things that happen when you sponsor an item, there is demand for the same item in the gift store; we can help with both just give us a call.

Sip of Summer

Summer doesn't officially start until June 21st, but at Lawson's Finest Liquid shipment of a their Sip of Summer IPA started TODAY.  They bought this great looking tall 16 oz. can cooler to have available for the celebration!.

As they describe it on the website:

"This lupulin-ladin India Pale Ale is packed with juicy tropical fruit character, bright floral aromas and delectable layers of hop flavor. Pour mindfully, inhale deeply and enjoy a tropical vacation in a glass. Always store cold, enjoy fresh and stay cool!
Sip of Sunshine IPA is brewed by Lawson’s Finest Liquids at Two Roads Brewing Co. in Stratford CT."

What to do....

"It's 79 degrees and sunny in Williamsburg. You know what to do."



We loved this post and had to share it... Brooklyn Brewery trusted us to print these beautiful Fiber Beach Towels in our factory in China. If you can't wait or buy that many for your brand, we have summer colors stored up for you that you can mix and match in a tonal print.




I'm pretty sure you all want to watch the video to, right?

Beach Towels

There was a dusting of snow around the house this morning... typical April in Wisconsin and Minnesota, but that didn't stop us from thinking about fun on the river today. We've added a great natural print to our choices of imprint for our Beach towel available in Black or Navy. Low minimum buys and retails for $25.

24 fans

Not fans of the TV show 24, we mean do you have 24 fans of your brew that would love to put up your brand in their home fan cave?  If you do that is why we've created this custom line of our best products.  This 1/4" wood bar sign has that classic pub feel and if can picture your logo on the top of a bar cap, you can see how it will fit nicely into the arched top.  Then decide what you want to say underneath it and we can make you up a piece of art.  As you can see in our successful selling Bears sign, we've kind of done it before.

Brown bottle souvenir

Our 2x3 button magnet is the brown bottle of gift souvenirs; why you say?

First both are perfect to take home for a trip to the brewery! The magnet is a perfect memory, either horizontally as a picture of the brewery or vertically as the beer label you tasted.  The brown bottle usually comes in 4 or 6 packs, but you can bring home one magnet.

Second, both are at home hanging around a refrigerator.  One let's you remember a message your spouse left you, and the other sometimes helps you forget the message.

Finally as a collectible, both could stay around reminding you for the next trip.  You could fit over 100 magnets on the front of your cooler, we doubt you would want to try and save 100 empty brown bottles.

A low minimum of 100 pieces and we could help you change up designs within that order if you want to get started with less.

We can even get you a counter rack, just ask for #28692014

What cooler to use?

When we started the process of deciding which of the 30 families and 200 items that we offer should we make available to the Microbrewery industry, Can and Bottle Coolers were a must.  What size?

Off to the local liquor store to pick up product to test with, and the final conclusion was that our 12 oz. can cooler fit both cans and 12 oz. shorty bottles, our 12 oz slim fit long neck bottles, and our 16 oz. was of course perfect for the Pint Cans.  We also offer a great pint glass cooler that our Accounting Manager tells us fits Red Solo Cups too!
