Bierbrauer Jersey/T-Shirt

[bensheeps]

Ok, strange request but knew this community would be the place to ask. Here's the back story...

 

In the end of March, my son came to me and asked if the German foreign exchange student in our school district could move from his current host family to live with us for the remainder of his time in the U.S. due to some problems that were happening in the home. We agreed and have enjoyed having him with us and have brought him along to 3 games so far this season.

 

I remember the game in 2011 when the Brewers donned German jerseys for a game with "Bierbrauer" across the front. I would love to get this for a present for the student before he has to return home. I've done a quick check on the internet and found nothing available.

 

Anyone here have an idea of where I could get one?

If you looked around on eBay, etc it might be a tough find elsewhere. The only other place I could think of would be Amazon.

 

I suppose it's possible to contact the Brewers directly and see if they have any stored away somewhere, but I realize that's kinda a hassle for both parties. If for some reason I run across something, I'll letcha know. What size are you looking for?

 

The other option is to get him the Craig Counsell bobblehead with him wearing that jersey. Now that he's manager that makes it kinda cool, too. I'm sure those are pretty cheap online.

Would need a Medium.

 

Good thought about the bobble head; if the jersey/shirt doesn't pan out, I may go that direction.

Late last season in the team store at Miller Park, they had a series of Racing Sausage t-shirts with the Bierbrauer/Birrai/Piwowarzy scripts on the front, and the corresponding sausage name and number on the back (ie., BRAT 1). The Bierbrauer one was green (I purchased one). It may be worth a call down there to see if these are still available.

The Brewers' authentics presence on the internet has said in the past to email gameused@brewers.com if there's something specific you're hoping to find. I'd try that if you haven't already.

 

Otherwise, if you go in the bobble direction, I am pretty sure there's a CJC Bierbrauer among our stash of extras. Send me a DM tweet if you want me to check this weekend.

An email to my ticket agent gave the same answer...try the Sausage T-Shirts from last year. That's my plan as of now, but may look a little more for the jersey.

 

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Email gameused@brewers.com...the last list I got had a Bierbrauer used bat boy jersey. Can't say if they still have it, but possible.

 

Also have you put an ad on Craigslist? That might be worth trying.

I have always wanted one since the game in 2011 and cannot locate one. I go e-bay from time to time, no avail.

I saw one on a fan at Miller Park last month. I wonder what he would have accepted for it.

I wore mine to a game a few weeks back, so that may have been me. I've had someone stop and ask me if I'd sell it, and I believe my response was something along the line of, "Absolutely not!"
