Looking to get about 100 of the flip top growlers (picture below). Wondering if anyone has any leads on where to find them at a decent price. Would be nice if it were in the northeast as shipping may factor in. Best price I could find was about $14 per growler which seems kind of high to me. Any feedback would be appreciated. If this thread is in the wrong forum, sorry and feel free to move. Cheers.
That does seem like a lot unless you are paying a ton for shipping to you. I have seen these in empty format available at Troegs for what I thought was about $15, so $14 in bulk of 100 count does seem high. I would think you would do better than that. And as you well know, Tired Hands won't fill these anyway or any other growler for that matter!
Have you tried looking at some of the homebrew supply houses like Northern Brewer, Austin Homebrew or Morebeer? I know I've seen them available there, but I don't know pricing or what shipping would be. I think Morebeer has a warehouse in PA, so that might help a bit on the shipping charrge. You may also want to see if there is a nearby local hombrew shop. They might be able to do something with such a big order.
Just really starting to look so I appreciate the info. There is a homebrew shop not too far so I will definitely check into that.
At my local bottle shop, they sell very similar growlers. A worker there told me they sell them at cost because they want people to have nice growlers and refill them there. They sell them for $20. I have a very similar one that cost $25. I think that's about as good of a price as you may find to be honest.
This outfit is in PA - http://www.toteglass.com/growlers.html (so you might save on shipping or be able to do a pick up) but $14@ sounds about right. There's also http://www.egrandstand.com/2l-light-amber-bottle-w-swing-top-lid-76485.html - Grandstand is mentioned a lot by breweries looking for printed growlers, don't know where they are located or if they sell blanks ones.
