Custom Merch for Breweries in Bakersfield, CA
Merch Mob makes taproom retail, staff shirts, and can release and collab drops for breweries in Bakersfield, CA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Bakersfield.

What Bakersfield's weather means for breweries
Plan the shelf around warm weather, because Bakersfield averages a high of 98°F in July and reaches 90°F on roughly 112 days a year; light colors and thin cotton suit most of those days better than fleece. Highs average under 65°F from December to February, a real if short fleece season, so have hoodies and cuffed beanies on the shelf before December and aim to sell through them by spring. At least five months a year average under half an inch of rain, so an outdoor release or patio event in those months can be set weeks ahead with little need for a rain date. On 35 or so days a year the thermometer reaches 100°F; light-colored tees and vented caps are the pieces to push on those afternoons, and a sweat-wicking staff shirt keeps the bar team comfortable. With only about 6.4 inches of rain a year, sun is the bigger issue for anyone working the patio, so a brimmed cap and a light long sleeve make sense as staff gear.

Ordering from Bakersfield
When should a taproom in Bakersfield lean on tees and caps instead of fleece?
Tee season runs long in Bakersfield (March to October), so tees and caps lead for most of the year, and fleece only needs the front for the short winter stretch.
