Hey Brewcommuners!
The folks over at Kumquat are offering a special group buy on their carbon fiber credit card sized bottle openers. With an order of at least 12, we get to $20/unit. @ 24 its $17.50. @ 48 its $15.00.
Check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22 ... zed-bottle
I think they would etch the backside with our club name too. Is anyone interested in this pricey, yet very cool & unique item, please answer the poll.

Re: Credit Card size Carbon Fiber bottle opener
Awesome. I've seen things like this, but too many are actually too thick to comfortably hold a space in my wallet. Looking at this, I think it might be thin enough to work.

What is the difference between the ones that are being offered in this group buy versus the ones for sale on Amazon? They are $17.50 on Amazon.

Re: Credit Card size Carbon Fiber bottle opener
Only a small difference .. they will etch the club logo/name on one side.
If there is enough interest in this, we can see if they can drop the prices further... but, so far we are a very small buy.

It looks very cool, but not at that price.

Re: Credit Card size Carbon Fiber bottle opener
Sorry, I agree even at 9$ I wouldn't do it. Carbon itself will last, even in my wallet, under my...seat... but I have no confidence in the pry area local to cap. Carbon is brittle and in this case I would not expect it to last.

No worries. Since we do not have a large interest as a club, everyone is on their own to pursue whatever bottle opening product they prefer. There will not be a group buy on this.
