During the 1970s, imported beer exploded in popularity across the United States, inspiring a wave of domestic breweries to market their lagers with European-sounding names and imported styling. Concerned about losing market share, American brewers responded with patriotic advertising campaigns encouraging consumers to "Buy American"—or, more specifically, "Drink American." This design gives that classic message a fun twist by pairing the iconic "I Want You" Uncle Sam with a frosty, overflowing beer stein filled with all-American brew. It's a tribute to an era when patriotism and beer advertising often went hand in hand, celebrating the country's proud brewing tradition. Today, identifying a truly American-owned beer isn't always as straightforward as it once was. Decades of mergers and acquisitions have placed many familiar brands under the umbrellas of global beverage corporations. Even so, America's brewing heritage remains stronger than ever. From long-established family-owned breweries that have resisted selling out to thousands of innovative craft breweries producing world-class beer in every corner of the country, there's no shortage of outstanding American-made brews. Raise a glass and drink American!
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 Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via 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.

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. 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.
