Short Summary
![]()
We are Fermented Reality Inc. We are two brothers on a mission to bring high quality lifestyle goods to you, the distinguished Craft Beer drinker. Design is important but quality is even more important.
This product is what we're most excited to bring to market because you can't find these anywhere else. B Cups™ are just over a year in development with all the delays and unexpected changes that comes with any new project.
Although we are brothers, we are now adults with families separated by a great distance. Justin lives in Buffalo, Joel in Tampa. It was October of 2013 and Justin came to visit Sarasota so Joel was driving down to meet up, obviously with killer brews in tow. He was primarily bringing a bunch of IPAs that Justin doesn't have access to. He knew he would have to settle for vacation rental house glassware, or worse yet red party cups on the beach. There must be a better option on the go, right? Wrong ... but now there is.
B Cups™ IPA cups are:
- BIG! They hold 17oz
-
SAFE! They are BPA-free, PET plastic
-
REUSABLE! Get dozens of uses out of them
-
DURABLE! Don't worry about dropping or breaking expensive glassware
-
PORTABLE! Perfect for the beach, on a camping trip, to a tailgate, or even the in-law's house
What We Need & What You Get
![]()
All we need is validation that our hard work was worth it. Your purchase will show us exactly that. As an added bonus, you won't go through the development pain, headaches, and updates that can plague new startups. Instead, you get to fast forward and get some of the very first cups off the line.
Once this campaign has been funded we are going to pre-address all the necessary boxes and have them ready to ship to you the day after they arrive.
What you get is a set of 4 awesome cups for you or your bestest beer-loving friend at our initial promotional price. The price could go up in the future, so act now to make sure you get in as cheap as possible.
The pricing gets better with more you buy because the shipping gets waaaaay cheaper. On average they cost $5 to ship 1, $10 to ship 2, but then it's $11 for 3, $12 for 4 ... I think you see where I'm going with this. Shipping sucks but the only way to beat the man in this case is to buy multiple!
Delivery Schedule
The cups are scheduled to land 3/26 and we commit to having them ready to ship the next day, which means most people should receive them the last day of March or on April Fools day.
Risks & Challenges
Because these are already made, bagged, boxed and en route to the port of Tampa, the only real risks to timetable are:
- The whole shipment goes overboard and I have to file an insurance claim and wait for new cups to be run, bagged, and shipped. Huge bummer.
-
We experience delays at the US port. From what I'm told this is a risk because we are a first-time importer. This would only be a few days more than likely and something I can live with, so I hope you would also.
-
You buy more than we have coming in. This would obviously mean that we would be re-ordering and later sales will receive cups once the second order arrives.
Other Ways You Can Help

-
Tell your beer-loving friends! This is a new product that has no real competition, so our main issue is consumer education. If you can share this campaign with your fellow beer nerds, that's about the nicest thing you can do.
- #showyourbcups Once you receive your sexy B Cups™, you can take and share pictures of them in action! With your help, social sharing will help us to find our audience quicker than any other method.
-
Also, for those who inquire, I'm certainly down to find someone who can make these in the US. If you have someone we can talk to, send them our way.
