These days, the classic beer-branded white vest is seen by most as a little old hat, perhaps even harking back to a beer swilling culture many would rather see resigned to the past.
Given a second look, this vest (though Abbot insist on calling it a t-shirt) is actually rather forward-thinking in proudly announcing the fragility of its wearer.
Another notable piece of pub culture history is the level of trust placed in your average pub landlord, to the extent that their signature alone (surely any signature) carries sufficient weight for the monks we presume still run Abbot Ale to send you some sweet merch.
If anyone from Abbot is listening, we sent our £1.90 PO off weeks ago…
