Beer Coasters for Home Bar

I've finally been able to convince the wife to allow me to use our extra space in the house for a home bar setup. I've acuired all the furniture and equipment for it, but I am still looking for one last thing; beer coasters.

Does anyone know where I could find some cardboard coasters that they normally serve on restaurant bars? Specifically from American craft breweries.

Thanks.

You could design your own. https://www.evermine.com/beer_coasters/ or check ebay

I simply... erm.... borrow them from local bars.

I prefer "liberate"

Brewery-branded coasters are typically provided by the distributor (obviously doesn't apply to an on-premises brewpub) so if it's a distributed brand one shouldn't feel uncomfortable about asking for a handful at your local pub...

Cheers!

Pick a design and I could laser engrave some... I have some polyester closed cell foam sheet that makes great coasters and they can be washed.

+1 to designing your own

I made my own cloth ones. I'm also thinking about doing some wood ones.

PM me your address and I'll send you some extra ones I have from Duclaw in Maryland and one from Galaxy in New York (Binghamton) if you're interested.

Here's a pic of what I can send you.

The sight looked pretty cool, so I placed an order for some coasters. Just ordered a couple dozen and I should receive them on the 10th according to them. I'll report back if you all want.


Thanks for the link Eric.

Not sure if you have one around but Ocean State Job Lots is where I have bought sleeves of the bud, Miller, corona ect branded ones for pretty cheap.

If they sell them gotta be others out there somewhere.

If you choose to design your own my wife made me some out old beat up records. She got some records she knew I like out of the dollar bin and routed out the middle circle, clear coated them, and glued some cork to the back. They work great and they're homemade!

As per my last post, I placed an order with Evermine. Got a reply a short time later saying order was received and the next day got another email saying shipment should arrive on the 10th.


Pretty much spot on. I got home to find my order in the mail. Here's a pic.





They seem like your typical cardboard coaster, but with your design on it. I remember seeing this image as someone's avatar here and thought that would be good for a test run.


My order was about $30 shipped. I'm sure the more your order, the price per coaster would probably be cheaper. They do beer labels too and even do the collar labels. I would probably order from them again.

Thanks again Eric for the link.

Pretty sweet

I need to come up with a brewery name and logo for my homebrew, since I own a laser engraver I can do fun stuff. This is for a bullet casting forum I read

Very sweet! Looks nice!

If you want them all the same, there are plenty of sleeves of coasters available on eBay.

But this seems to be another one of those threads where the OP never returns.

I'd be interested in this if that offer is valid. I have a logo another user is mocking up for me I could shoot you in a message if you're interested/willing. What is the color and thickness of the sheeting?

Right now I am down to red, royal blue, and a dark charcoal gray. Send me a pm with what you have in mind. I can engrave and cut the foam material. It is 2mm thick and cuts well. One of the products I make with the foam are gun cleaning mats



engraving it darkens the color and creates a recess in the mat material.
