Matt, Leigh, and our partner Nick Ramirez and launched North Drinkware and The Oregon Pint on Kickstarter on February 1, 2015. The project goal was $15,000, which was planned to fund production tooling, equipment and the first large run of our unique craft beer glasses with Mount Hood molded into the base.
The momentum of the campaign was blistering. The Oregon Pint surpassed $15,000 in 5 hours and 15 minutes, 200% funded in 28 hours, 2000% funded in five days, 5000 backers at 24 days and the campaign closed at 3,543% funded by 5,620 backers totaling $531,581.
Features appeared in dozens of local, national and international press including The New York Times, Outside Magazine, Cool Hunting, Uncrate, Slate, Transworld Business, OregonLive/The Oregonian, Portland Business Journal, Portland Tribune, Willamette Weekly, among others. North Drinkware now offers pint and tumbler glasses for Washington, Oregon and California and continues to grow, enriching the craft beer drinking experience.
We are working to continue to grow this brand everyday finding new ways to let our audience bring the mountains home in new ways.
