Thanks Paul for adding the update!

To confirm – Yes, wholesale will still go via Germany for folks looking to do that.

Michael – thanks so much for pointing to my store. I really appreciate it!

Here’s the link to the page where you can pre-order them http://www.thebostonshaker.com/Buy_Bittermens.html

After chatting with TBT it looks like they’ll be ready right around Tales. I’m hoping to get them in the store from Germany, and shipped right back out to state-side folks, by the end of July or early August.

We’re working hard on getting the costs down, and I’m right there with y’all looking forward to some point in the future where there’s US distributor to help with that.

Bittermens for everyone!

If anyone has questions or whatnot feel free to contact me directly via the website or via bittermens at thebostonshaker dot com.

Cheers!

I take that back about shipping. It shows up later when you get to paypal and runs about $5.75 per bottle, delivered to SF.

I think I’m going to wait for someone in the SF bay area to bring this stuff in.

So you can now order the bitters domestically from The Boston Shaker @ $18 USD (which appears to include shipping). I’d expect to be waiting a while to get them it certainly bring the price down a bit and simplifies the process as well.

Oh, that URL:

and look for the Bittermen’s link at the top of the page.

I just ordered up the Xocolatl bitters, and wish I would have known about the 9 bottle idea (there have to be at least 9 drinkers I know who would love a bottle). I decided that even though the shippng was a chunk, that I had to pony up since I haven’t tried them yet. And the Camerone just sounds like such a great drink to have after dinner on a summer evening–any price was worth it.

I corresponded with Mr, Avery regarding the issue of cost to get this product in the US. On way to bring the cost down is to order nine bottles. The shipping goes down pretty significantly (to about 23 euros) and drops the per-bottle price to about $15 USD (at the current rate of exchange).

Still, a US distributor, bound to come, would make this a much more pleasant retail experience.

The bitters don´t have to be shipped from the US to the EU. They produce them in Germany..

I would in a heartbeat but I can’t afford to have them shipped to the EU and then back to the States. Blast! Maybe we’ll get a US distributor here e’er-long. I’ve been looking forward to these for years now!
