Custom Merch Buyers Guide: Local Breweries

Small craft breweries are big business in the US – with over 9,000 craft brewers across the country, it might seem hard to stand out of the pack. If you’re looking to make an impression with your brewery, then this guide is for you! In this article, we’re going to take a look at some fantastic options from the Merchology store to level up your staff’s uniforms, to show appreciation to your best customers and to reward your hardest-working employees.

Branded apparel and accessories keep your staff looking clean and professional in the workplace, and you can add on a logo-branded hat, hoodie or fleece to keep them warm and dry while making deliveries. And beyond their utility as uniforms, they also serve as great advertisements. A sharp-looking branded outfit helps raise brand awareness and make your staff stand out to visitors to your brewery. They also make excellent gifts; show your best customers that they’re part of your brewery family by giving them the same sharp threads your best employees wear!
