Update for December 7 2009

Our latest new on the Hops and Barley Hawaiian shirt:

The shirt designs are in to the manufacturer. We received hand screened color samples back last Tuesday and had to give comments. The darkest green didn't come out as dark as we wanted and the barley was pixelated so we requested verification for darker and sharper. Their reply is pending. My wife assures me that it will be sharp but I want confirmation from the printer. This is something we've wanted to do for years so it has to be correct. Long story short, they told us that it would take 90 days for production and 45 for delivery! My wife wrote back that we are hoping to get these by the Holiday's and since it's only 300 shirts, maybe they can expedite it. We are also requesting air-shipping which would get it here in about two weeks versus 6 on a boat. Long story short, a Hoiday delivery date is not in our future.

This snag has really saddened us and beer just doesn't taste the same. The shirts will be made, that is a guarantee, we just didn't have an idea of how much it takes to get this thing produced. The big companies get preferential treatment and we're small time so I guess it's the back of the line.

All of the money is still in the PayPal account and can be refunded. If you have a pre-order for a holiday gift, we are sorry, you might have to give it around the Pliny the Younger release date.

Please email to: hopnation@ontapclothing.com for a full refund if needed.

Cheers to Hops!
