Faced with price rises? In May 1844, residents in Bavaria faced an increase in the cost of beer. Workers took to the streets, battling police and destroying property. After four days of disorder, the King issued an order reducing the price of beer, which restored calm to the area. Our T-Shirt of the Month for May, made of 100% organic cotton by a worker-owned co-operative, and supporting grassroots labour unions in South Asia, commemorates these events. The design features a modified Munich beer mat, and reference to the Münchner Reinheitsgebot (the famous Munich beer purity law of 1487) has been changed to read “Freiheit” – “Freedom”. This t-shirt is available strictly limited edition for this month only. Be sure to preorder yours by May 31 as all t-shirts will be sewn and printed together.
