International IPA Day
Late summer’s beery awesomeness continues with International IPA Day, which is typically celebrated on the first Thursday in August. This year, that’s August 3.
Let’s get real: Every day is IPA day, but you can make a mark by celebrating this one day with a custom glass or other branded merch in support of a new release or other milestone.
Rastal’s Craft Master One and Craft Master Two make a great choice. Their shapes are explicitly made to capture and enhance the various notes and aromas you’ve worked so hard to produce.
If you’re not sold on these, be sure to browse the Rastal Craft Master Grand Family, an exclusive glassware line that was designed by Grandstand to blend both form and function. The line includes an eye-catching taster, too!
If you’re unsure, go Belgian
If the options above aren’t speaking to you, it’s hard to not love Libbey’s 13 oz. Belgian glass. This tulip-style option complements a beer’s flavor profile by enabling more beery aroma. And, customers love the look and feel. As with any of our glasses, the decoration options are nearly endless.
Get those orders in!
August is closer than you think! Take advantage of the season by partnering with your friends at Grandstand to create something truly special.
