looking for bulk growlers, preferable flip top

[wildweede]

i'm looking for growlers, and flip top bottles in bulk supply. any leads? i live in small town and local pubs aren't into these beers.

How many are you talking about when you say bulk. I have several companies that can help you but they have a minimum order of several hundred.

[wildweede]

maybe 200 if that is possible. see how they go. steve

You might check into Grandstand Sportswear in Lawrence Kansas, they can handle orders like that. LD Carlson in Ohio is another company that might be able to help.

Flip-top growlers are more expensive then the screwtop cousins. In bulk for the Amber growlers with our logo we were paying about $1.34 a piece and .05 for each cap. Since we live within driving distance though I have never had to py shipping on them so I have no clue how much that might cost you.

Here is the link for Grandstand

IIRC LD Carlson will only deal directly with a business and not the general public.

I get my growlers from www.brewpack.com. It's been a while since I ordered any, so I don't remember what the cost is, but I do remember it being very competitive.
