A moment of silence for those that gave their rinds.
Underated comment, this one – everyone upvote
Who won the battle? What was the cost (in terms of lost produce)?
I don’t have any pre-existing knowledge of the event, and the English-speaking web is pretty sparse on the topic, but as far as I can tell: no prosecutions, and the beer tax hike was abolished; total student victory o7
according to 5+ articles i read on the topic no student faced prosecution but the 33% price increase in beer stayed in place.
Only thing I found that said the price increase was cancelled was the ever beloved bullshit factory sometimes called “AI”.
I hate that website search results nowadays are not only untrustworthy because people are dumb (like in the GOOD OLD DAYS), but also because people are dumb and copy-pasting AI.
So for those who want to know more: this was a joke protest because the students were bored. The cited demands for the protest were: repeal the increase in the price of beer, repeal the new police uniforms because they are shit and abolish the city prison.

The fire department hosed them with beer until they could be peacefully removed.
