Nor me for that matter,went up to Ch-Ch the other day to see the old girl and an aunty was there to spend xmas with mum,she had had these T-shirts printed with copies of my great grandfathers brewery labels,he built and ran the first brewery in the Westcoast/Buller region way back.She had them wrapped up but insisted that as i wasnt going to be there on xmas day that i do it then.A great idea i thought and a real piece of family history dating from 1890 give or take.

Those are very cool. Nice bit of history, and anything to do with beer is good.

What happened to it, hope it wasn't lost in a poker game way back in the wild west (coast). Would have been a great hand me down.

Totally cool... I hate having T-shirts I can't wear though...

They're a slice of Kiwi (and family) history...
