Brusaders Blog

It has been quite a year for the beerheads.com crew. It took a leap of faith, but we decided to leave the past behind and plow headlong into the wild world of craft beer merchandising and promotions.

We are now wholly owned by TotalBru Marketing and are making changes to our business and our web site to better serve a very unique demographic.  On the custom products side, we are still producing custom apparel and promotional items for a variety of customers, but we are now able to dedicate resources toward the development of new products that cater specifically to our core of beer-industry customers – from breweries to trade magazines to the Great American Beer Festival (see our customer list).

For consumers, we are making slow but steady improvements to our product line, inventory maintenance, order processing and customer service.  We are getting better and have big plans for 2008 but we ask that customers always keep in mind that we are not LLBean.  We try to ship orders within 5 days, and around the holidays we tighten things up a bit, but we still occasionally occasionally have a hiccup.   We are a work in progress in some ways but we’ve come a long way.

Sometime in 2008, we plan to roll beerheads into a new site that will have more news and features…so keep an eye out for totalbrew.com.

At the moment, we are very excited about one new product specifically.  The Rockmount Western Hops Shirt is quite simply our best work yet.  Designed by us and manufactured with the Rockmount Ranch Wear Company in Denver (check out rockmount.com), this is a truly magnificent shirt with inspired embroidery and details…and we are already making more to meet holiday ordering demands.

And if you are looking for something unique for a friend or relative who may be new to the craft beer scene, try our Essential Beer Glass set.  We suggest pairing it with the right beers for a proper holiday gift, but alas we are not permitted to ship bottled beer just yet.

That’s about it for now.  We are currently designing a few new products – cool new hats, hoppy air fresheners, and some other goodies – so check back often.  And if you want to meet us at a great beer festival near you, send us an email about it and maybe we’ll show up…we are looking to hit some new regions in 2008.

Thanks,
