Friday’s ad is one of the later in the “Beer Belongs” series, after they stopped numbering them, created by the old Brewers Association. Just like right now in Northern California, pouring rain stopped then from working outside so they decided to just sit awhile and enjoy some beer. Good decision.

Beer In Ads #746: Stand Alone On The Pyramid Of Perfection
Tuesday’s ad is for William Younger & Co. from — based on the bottle — the late 1800s or early pre-WWI 1900s. Climbing a pyramid would certainly give one a powerful thirst, so a worthy goal would be a bottle of beer waiting for you at the top. Of course, sitting in the Egyptian sun can’t necessary be a good thing.
Beer In Ads #745: Feigenspan’s Bock Beer
Monday’s ad is for a Newark, New Jersey brewery, Feigenspan’s Brewing. The ad is most likely from the late 1800s (with one source claiming 1900), especially since the brewery itself was in business from 1875 to 1943. It’s a really beautiful illustration for the P.O.N. — “Pride of Newark.”
