Daeufer’s Bock Beer 1848 Vintage Women’s T-Shirt

Founded in 1848, the Daeufer Brewery specialized in classical dark beers and built up a pretty respectable following throughout the midwest. They changed names a few times and expanded their operations along the way, but it wasn’t until Daeufer merged with another local brewery, Lieberman Brewing Co., to become Daeufer-Lieberman Brewing Company that they became the first large-scale brewery in Allentown. They continued to produce dark beers almost exclusively and did so under a number of names, including the original Daeufer’s label, but after World War II, the taste of returning G.I.s began leaning towards lighter beers which led to Daeufer-Lieberman closing up shop for good in 1949. This design is based on one of their most popular brews, a strong Bock lager that stayed true to Daeufer’s German roots since day one.

Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Next Level 3900 Premium Women’s tees, aka ‘the boyfriend tee, one of the softest, best-wearing women’s t-shirts available today. We utilize state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it both comfortable and flattering while the feminine fit and shorter sleeves add a special touch to this classic missy cut tee.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. The Next Level 3900 is a fitted women’s t-shirt, so if you are looking for a roomier fit, we suggest going up a size or with the unisex Bella + Canvas 3001 we print our men’s t-shirts on as they are the same super soft ring-spun cotton that feels like an old favorite. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.

*Heather colors are 90% ring-spun cotton and 10% poly. **Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes of shirts offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible.
