Germany Drinking Team Pins and Buttons
Description: SPG was originally brewed in Bremen, Germany, and was introduced to the U.S. market in 1965. The distinctive label depicting a woman wearing a traditional dirndl was introduced with the advent of bottled beer. The local artist commissioned for the label drew his inspiration from the styles worn by local waitresses at the time which are still worn as traditional folk apparel today. Over the years the label became more stylized (and busty) as SPG became an export-only beer, catering to American consumers. In time, brewing was moved stateside, changing the overall flavor considerably, something that is attributed to no longer sourcing water from the Alps.
Description: Despite its German roots and dubious first brew date, the famous lion's brew label was just that by the mid-'70s when it was brought stateside and the flavor profiles changed dramatically but still maintained the impression of 'made in Germany.' Of course, those n Germany continued to enjoy the real deal for decades to come, but for the most part, export brew was no longer on the menu.
Description: A funny Oktoberfest-inspired design featuring a frog dressed in traditional Bavarian lederhosen holding a frothy beer stein and giant pretzel with the phrase "We Prost At Dawn." Perfect for Oktoberfest celebrations, beer lovers, German festival fans, pub crawls, brewery visits, and anyone who enjoys humorous drinking-themed apparel.
