What GlassandGrowlers does

Glass and Growlers is a privately held wholesale manufacturer of custom printed glassware and drinkware, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company sources base glassware from major suppliers including Libbey, then applies proprietary decoration processes: screen printing using ceramic enamel (fired at over 1100F for glass/ceramic) and organic epoxy inks (for PET and stainless steel), Lusterware and Mirrorware vacuum metallizing (Ni-Chrome, Gold, and aluminum molecular bonding), water slide decals with micro-registration, robot-controlled custom glass tinting with waterborne coatings matched to Pantone, and full-color dye sublimation. All processes are 100% Proposition 65 compliant and independently lab-tested monthly. The product catalog spans 500+ SKUs across glass growlers, stainless steel growlers, barware glass, coffee mugs, diner mugs, shots and samplers, mugs and steins, stemware, plastic barware (including light-up LED versions), frost-flex cups, stadium cups, tossware, yard cups, aluminum stadium cups, accessories (bar mats, coasters, tap handles, bottle openers, koozies, neon signs), and apparel (caps, hoodies, t-shirts).

The business operates on a direct B2B wholesale model, selling custom printed products to breweries, restaurants, bars, golf courses, tap stations, event planners, weddings, corporate events, and tradeshows. Pricing is unit-based with volume tiers (growlers $2.35-$17.22, barware glass $2.25-$13.19, plastic drinkware $0.86-$12.67, stainless steel growlers $18.50-$37.40), supported by an e-commerce platform with real-time quantity-based pricing configuration and low minimum order quantities. Go-to-market combines bottom-of-funnel e-commerce with top-of-funnel organic social (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram) and email marketing, alongside direct wholesale relationships with national beverage partners.
