Wearing brewery t-shirts at that or other breweries

I pretty much constantly wear beer shirts, but do try to avoid wearing the same shirt as the place I go to. Kind of like wearing a band shirt of the concert you're at. Don't want to be Mr. Super-Fan.

 

I wear brewery shirts when I'm away from work. I try not to wear a brewery shirt if I'm going to said brewery. Otherwise I see no problem with it (and sometimes it's an easy icebreaker with other BA's/ good beer enthusiasts).

 

I cannot understand the appeal of wearing branded apparel unless you're working there.

 

To borrow a line from the would-be classic "P.C.U.":

"You're gonna wear the shirt of the brewery you're going to? Don't be that guy!"

Seriously though, as long as you wear -something- who really gives a rip?

 

What's this? You're wearing the shirt of the brewery you're going to visit? Don't be that guy.

 

Wow you must make your own clothes

 

Here's what I do.
I wear St. Louis Cardinals apparel to Denver Broncos games.
I wear Chicago Blackhawks apparel to L.A. Laker games.
I wear Levi's when I shop at the Gap.
I wear military cammies to beach parties.
I wear a chef's hat to church.
I use my NPR tote bag at Whole Foods.
I dress up as a clown at work.
The list goes on.

 

Not uncommon.

 

Not sure I understand the premise here. What's the big deal about wearing a brewery/pub shirt when you go there?

I use my Tractor Supply tote bags at Whole Foods, NPR would be for WalMart.

 

That's the first thing that came to my mind. I actually posted a video of that scene, but it got deleted... Guess I broke some rule or something.

 

I think I stumbled across an immature thread

 

i wear pearl jam shirts everywhere

 

classic!

 

I saw a dude wear a Miller Lite hat to a Smuttynose brewery tour.

 

He must be cool:-)

 

I wear a PBR hat all the time, I just like the hat

 

Friends of mine who work at breweries often wear shirts of other breweries while working (back of the house) or hanging out at their own breweries. Most craft breweries love other craft breweries. They don't see each other as rivals, and they don't frown on you wearing apparel of other breweries at their place. Quite the opposite actually, in my experience.

 

Don't wear that brewery's shirt. It's like wearing a band's shirt to their own concert.

 

To be on the safe side I would just wear this shirt...

​

 

If this were the 1970s I'd assume that hat looks something like this:


Then again, now that more and more craft breweries are canning , maybe it's about time for those to come back in style...

 

People that bat an eye to those who wear brewery shirts to said brewery must be bored. Nothing wrong with maxing out support for your favorite breweries. I'll be that guy all day long and won't give two shits, or three.

 

I always wear dodger jerseys at giants games just makes sense.

 

I only go on BA for fashion advice.

 

My decision as far as what t-shirt I wear is made by answering a simple question, "What's on top of the pile?"

 

If you're worried about what the other person, or yourself is wearing, and not enjoying the reason you're there, (the beer), then it is time to reevaluate. It's not a fashion show, it's beer.

 

Not in Minnesota!

 

It's perfectly OK to wear a brewery shirt....anytime, anywhere. As long as you are prepared to answer any questions regarding that brewery's line-up of beers. Imagine the dismay with this interchange...
Hey man, nice Lagunitas shirt. How did you like the UnderCover Shut Down ale this year?
Uhmmm, well thanks man but the shirt was a Christmas present?

 

Just don't wear anything that says "Magic Hat", #9, #6, #99, #69, #96, #96669, anything the color orange, or anything with fruit or fruit-like images on it. Ain't nobody got time for that.

 

I've been to many breweries and brewpubs where the brewers and staff wear apparel from other breweries. Not a big deal.

 

I'm not sure this is the best place to get your fashion advice. Haven't you ever been to a beer festival? We're not the best dressed people.

 

I just saw this thread on concertadvocate.com!

 

One of my local brew pubs sells a SHIT TON of T's, caps, and hoodies ( I often joke that when you move to Bellingham, Welcome Wagon issues a Boundary Bay T-shirt), and it's very rare to not see several folks wearing various gear. And the only problem with wearing a band shirt to the show is if you buy the shirt and put it on at the gig. If you have a shirt from a previous tour, wear that sucker with pride!

 

I have a Fathead's shirt that says, "Beer Research Technician" written on the front. I wear it to all breweries hoping that I get free beer in the Name of Science.

 

I have one brewery T shirt and I don't wear it often but I am proud of the brewery I support.

 

Recently met Greg Koch while wearing a CCB Dickies work shirt. It was fine.

 

I work at a brewery. We wear whatever, and quite often it's another breweries swag. Good beer is good.

 

I wore a PtE shirt to Marble Brewery in NM, and I got a "you must have high expectations". I try not to be that guy anymore haha.

 

Did you take that Ford or Chevy lettering off your car? Or the dealership name on the license plate holder? Or do you work at the plant or dealership?

 

I would have said to you, "nice shirt"...and know that this guy likes good beer.
