Time for another look at what’s new in the world of
drinks-related projects over on Kickstarter! Here are four campaigns that we’re
keeping an eye on right now:
Documentary filmmaker Erik Shirai has nearly completed this
impressive project, which tells the story of life at the family-owned and
operated sake brewery, Tedorigawa. However, he and his crew still need to film
a few additional scenes in Japan. With just over two weeks and another $40,000
to go, The Birth of Sake needs your help if it’s going to make it to the big
screen. Click here for more info.
A recipe collection, history book and game all in one, this
deck is fully useable for all your favorite card games, and every card is
beautifully decorated with sketches of cocktail glasses, bars and other
drinks-related embellishments. For a donation of just $12, you’ll get a deck of
your very own, as soon as they’re fully funded. Click here for more info.
What could be more Portland than directly traded, small batch-roasted,
bike-delivered coffee? Sure enough, Crank Coffee was an instant Portland hit.
Business has exploded, doubling in just one month, and now they need a better,
more efficient bike than the ultra-heavy Dutch bike they currently use. They
have their sights on two new cargo bikes from Denmark, which will allow them to
deliver more coffee faster. Click here for more info.
Home soda brewer Erica David has been making her fruity,
probiotic soda in Boulder, Colorado, for years now, and she’s finally ready to
go pro. A hit among friends and family around town, the sodas already have a
local following. With a bold, cheery label and delicious recipes, all she needs
now is your help. Click here for more info.
