Munich Beer Riots - Fair Wear - Unisex organic T-Shirt - FREE DELIVERY

Design commemorating the Bavarian beer riots of 1844. These broke out after the government implemented a new tax on beer. Workers took to the streets, battling police and destroying property. The army was called in, but a cavalry regiment refused to attack the demonstrators. After four days of disorder, the King issued an order reducing the price of beer, which restored calm to the area.

This design is by Munich-based rebel artist Torsten Mühlbach. Torsten works and experiments with a wide variety of techniques and materials. This is what he has to say about his great beer coaster design in memory of the beer riots in Bavaria which happened between 1 May and 5 May 1844:

“After the revolution is before the revolution.
After the high is before the high.
Every great story begins with:
‘Please hold my beer for a second…’
On that note, cheers everyone!”

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”.
