A chilled glass of beer on a hot summer brunch outing with friends is ideal to quench your thirst more than anything else. On the contrary, a warm pint can totally play a spoilsport. When speaking about beers and brunches, one cannot overlook the style of the drinkware. Combining both style and functionality, 24-year-old Dylan Jacob founded BruMate – World’s fastest growing drinkware brand for adult beverages.
The adult beverages industry has the widest choices when it comes to different types of brews, wines, and spirits. However, there is a common problem that consumers face with half-drunk beverages. Either you sit and sip through your bottle of beer in one-go or you lose its ice-cold experience. “The idea for BruMate evolved from my love for an ice-cold beer. “I was sick of walking away for 5 minutes and coming back to a half-drunk, semi-warm beer,” shares Dylan.
In November 2016, BruMate launched its first product – Hopsulator, the world’s first 3-in-1 insulated can cooler for 16oz / 12oz beverages. What followed soon after Hopsulator was Winesulator – the world’s first insulated wine canteen for storing wines at the viable temperature for 24 hours plus, without ice inside. In September 2017, Dylan introduced BruMate’s UNCORK’D XL series – the largest insulated wine glass available in the world.
Besides its flagship products, Dylan Jacobs brought on board other merchandise including fashionable flasks, pints for hot and cold beverages, gift-sets and accessories that cater to the adult beverages’ consumer base in varied sizes and styles. The success of his vision is showcased by the number of sales and growth BruMate has achieved year-on-year.
The company has witnessed 15,000% growth since its inception, with Dylan Jacobs scaling BruMate from 0 to $35 million in revenue in three years. He successfully made it to Forbes 30 under 30 for Retail & E-Commerce sector 2018 and Young Entrepreneur’s list 2018. The Purdue University dropout owns 100% stake in the company and has positioned BruMate as one of the top 15 fastest growing privately-held companies in the United States of America, as per Inc. 5000.
BruMate’s products have been innovative whether it comes to keeping beer cans, wine bottles or the spirit itself at their ideal temperatures. The stylish make of these products is what Dylan has focused on since the beginning. The awe-inspiring hues from pastels to ombres, from metallics to matt, as well as stylishly ergonomic designs, have been conceptualized by the founder himself, who owns multiple utility and design patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Continuous improvements in design and functionality have been followed closely. The BruMate final products have been launched online and in stores, after researching over 13 prototypes and investing 1 year in product enhancement.
For Dylan Jacob, “Our goal at BrüMate is to put an end to boring drinkware one sip at a time.”
