It's a southern thang to drink out of Mason jars.

That's where it originated, not via hipsters. Y'all really hate hipsters huh? lol

Well the hipster I referenced is actually from the south. Maybe that's where he got it from..?

And I'm not one of those hipster haters. I love me some hipsters. What's not to like? They are educated, can hold an intelligent conversation, like craft beer, eat fancy cheese (come on, who doesn't like beer and cheese?!), and contrary to popular belief, have jobs (they just dress like they don't).

Check Ace and True Value as both networks of hardware stores have participating merchants where you can ship free to the store if they do not have what you want in stock. The company sells most Ball mason jar products, but I think the closest ship to store locations will be Westchester or Manhattan.
