Thanks for dropping in for a pint! As a beer and dragon enthusiast, I started Drachtoberfest to celebrate themes I don't often see together. While I have created fifteen other designs, it's time to fill in a glaring omission: The Green Beer Dragon.  🍀 🍺
3inch Green Beer Dragon enamel pin, and 1inch Dragon Mug mini enamel pin, digital mock ups.


The Green Beer Dragon is a 3 inch enamel pin with a transparent beer mug (and a dunked head inside), and also I'm offering an optional accessory Dragon Mug mini pin.  The mini pin has the same transparent green enamel over a layered scales metal pattern along the bottom of the mug.
the Green Beer Dragon (and Dragon Mug mini) pin has been unlocked!


The main goal covers the production of these two pins, taxes, processing fees, and shipping to me. Backerkit will collect shipping for your order when you fill out your post-campaign survey. A toast, we hit this goal!

Another round for the table has been ordered! See the Community tab with the current poll (open through 3/21/25) to cast your vote on what new Pledge Level is added.
Cast your vote, leave a comment!


That's right! We're far enough along that whatever stretch goal is chosen for the above, it's unlocked.
Anther stretch goal? Maybe!


Round three is a possible, and will be based on comments and poll results.

As an exciting incentive, Alstro Arts and Pinfeathers Pin Shoppe have joined me for a group-collab called:
Dragon's Delightful Delicacies


By backing any two or all three of our campaigns, you will receive up to six free cross-theme inspired pins on successful completion of all three campaigns. 🍀 🍺 Here are my offerings! 


Hawaiian Hibiscus and Mango enamel pins, digital mock ups.


Any of the Green Beer Dragon enamel pin pledge levels (plus any new pledge level that includes a standard sized pin) count toward the eligibility of cross-collab pin designs.

The Drachtoberfest cast is pretty wild and varied, and stickers make a great medium for accessorizing vehicles, electronics, tumblers, and notebooks. I utilize a small, diverse business for all the stickers I have produced.
3 inch water/weather resistant vinyl stickers, digital mock ups.


As Drachtoberfest has been about enamel pins based on illustrations, I have produced fifteen other designs in the cast, with the latest addtions being produced for last Oktoberfest. The above stickers include the lastest designs of batch of enamel pins: Mead, Mead (special edition), Kolsch, Dunkel, Sake, Cascadian Dark, and Hefewizen.

But below are most of the remaining enamel pin designs from the original cast.

Classic Drachtoberfest enamel pins: Pilsner, Eisbok, Marzen, IPA, Lambic, Brown Ale, and Amber Ale.

These seven Classic Drachtoberfest enamel pins are available here as add-ons at a discount, as I will choose one at random for you. They each have two posts, and are backstamped with "Drachtoberfest" and their respective brew names.

[This section will expand when/if more reward options are added.]

Funding & production - how it works


Pledge to one of the rewards with your interest, and pick add-ons if you want more than what is in the standard tiers. As Backerkit funds on succuessful complection, you will pay when the campaign ends and is fully funded, then also for shipping during the survey period. Backerkit works as All or Nothing, and you will be only charged if we reach our goal funding At the End of the campaign. 

About two weeks after the campaign ends, I'll be releasing surveys pin counts and potential add-on items, to collect your address for shipping and the associated shipping charges. I have samples in production currently, and expect to have the production go into full swing less than a month after the bulk of surveys are collected.

As a note, you can always edit/adjust your pledge reward(s) before the campaign ends. You can adjust the amount for your pledge for add-on items, or wait until your survey comes in to add anything else.
Edit
timeline

As with all my large, complicated pins these days, I have already ordered samples for the Green Beer Dragon. This is so I can catch and address issues in person and at the factory level before full production proceeds. Doing so has enabled me to save time and frustration between both myself and the factory.

I tend to be very upfront when it comes to expectations, hiccups, and production issues, because I understand the frustration that comes with funding a project that takes longer than expected.

Campaigns begin 3/17/2025  🍀 🍺


  • April 18th : campaigns end, funds are collected, survey is built
  • April-May: samples received, adjustments will be addressed before production.
  • early May: surveys go out in waves to compile for production orders.
  • June : pins and stickers are ordered, full production begins.
  • August: pins received, fulfilment begins, to be completed before Oktoberfest.

Please check with your country's postal service if your reward does not arrive by October. Contact me for item tracking information if your package appears lost in transit - more than 2 weeks USA from when it leaves my home. 2-3 months if you are international. You are responsible for any tariffs/import taxes that may be charged for your purchase that I cannot otherwise collect from you.

The funds collected during the campaign go toward funding products/goals only.
Shipping fees are collected in the pledge manager post-campaign. Refer to the blow graphic for shipping estimates as a guide.

shipping estimates
  •  I'm unable to ship to Afghanistan, Belarus, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Libya, Russian Federation, South Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, and Yemen.
  •  I can ship to the UK but will need to pay VAT or other fees. For some countries we cannot collect VAT for you, and you need to pay it when the package enters your country
  •  Backerkit is an all or nothing platform, if we don't meet the funding goal for this campaign you will not be charged.
  • Backerkit will also allow you to pick additional add-ons at the end survey if you want more after.
  • Outside of domestic USA sticker only order, all orders should get tracking, which is included. Though I use Pirateship for almost all shipping, some international international orders do not include tracking updates once they leave the USA.


Accountability


I'm a small creator, and thus handle all aspects of this business myself. That means I'm also directly accountable to those who pitch in to help fund my ideas, be they pins, stationery, illustrations, or apparel. That said, with crowd funding it does cost more on the front end to produce works, because I utilize the tools of a crowdfunding platform to make the idea happen.

I have always been solid on producing what was asked and delivering rewards; you can check my previous solo and group Kickstarters (SPAAAACE Witch! 1 and 2, Drachtoberfest, Mythical Monsters, and Wild Advent) to see my track record of meeting established goals and rewards. (If you know me from the independent collectible card set niche you'll see similar results!) In a time when folks are keenly aware of creators having hiccups and roadblocks I understand the importance of being upfront on challenges, where in production a project is, and any pitfalls they may be experiencing. While I have thankfully always been able to plan well and deliver, I also pledge to be very upfront about the production and timeline regardless of what happens.

I'm StudioBliz, I love beasties, SPACE, and booze themed projects, and want to continue delivering my nonsense and fun to the community.
