Wouldn’t it be cool to sport custom printed coasters with your brews? Hell yeah it would!
Where should one get these in the EU though?
Most shops I found are only selling in bulk, targeting bars. You’ll have plethora of options if quantity isn’t an issue. But as merely an occasional homebrewer I’d rather get just around 20, even if the unit price is higher.
In this small scale category the best I found so far were a few sellers on Etsy. (It seems to be a thing for weddings.)
Does anyone have experiences or recommendations of custom coasters in the region?
Oddball suggestion, do you know anyone into pottery? A nice simple coaster shape is easy to make a lot of as a potter and it provides a good basis to test glazes on. Normally potters will make a series of test tiles to explore glazes and they don’t actually have much practical use compared to a series of coasters they knew would actually be distributed and used and represent a meaningful event to someone.
I bet you could make a nice simple logo and text to imprint into the clay and get a set of 20 or so made pretty easy this way! You will also give your potter (newfound?) friend a practical project of focus on!
