Update #5: One day to go. Allow us to present: coasters!

Posted on December 13

With only shortly over 24 hours to go, we have raised $17,094. That is simply amazing, and while I feel like we're running out of ways to say thank you, let me try one more time: thank you. 

On that note, please keep in mind that your cards will be charged tomorrow. Just a reminder! 

As the project draws to a close, don't think we're going silent. Far from it. Our weekly blog updates will continue, and rest assured that all Kickstarter news will be posted as updates here. This is not the last you've heard from Community Beer Works. 

Now that we have close-to final numbers, we're hard at work finalizing some of the details for the physical rewards. Updates will be coming about the glassware soon, very soon. Today, however, I'd like to talk to you about coasters.

Saturday afternoon we headed to the WNY Book Arts Center (which, by the way, has its own Kickstarter ending in four days!) to print another run of coasters. I was really excited to finally get a chance to see that magical workshop in action, and I hope CBW can continue to produce some handmade art in the future. We had quite a lot of fun there, and rather than type any more, well, we brought a clip!
