Merch Mob makes taproom retail, staff shirts, and can release and collab drops for breweries in San Francisco, CA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to San Francisco. In San Francisco the median age, 40.0, is a touch above the national 38.9 (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so a crewneck or quarter-zip alongside the graphic tees gives older regulars something to buy.

What San Francisco's weather means for breweries
San Francisco never gets truly cold, with January averaging a high of 58°F, and summer stays cool too, so a midweight hoodie sells in every month of the year. Warm weather is brief (average highs reach 70°F only from September to October), so order summer tees in small numbers and let a light crewneck carry the shoulder months. At least three months a year get under half an inch of rain, the natural window for an outdoor release; the wetter months suit a refresh of the merch wall indoors. About 4.8 inches of rain fall in December, the wettest month, so schedule patio releases and outdoor events for other months.

Ordering from San Francisco
When should a taproom in San Francisco lean on tees and caps instead of fleece?
Only in the short warm stretch. Fleece takes over from November to May, the months under 65°F, and a long sleeve covers the weeks between.
