I’ve been highlighting fine art and beer every Sunday in my Beer In Art series, but in searching for more art to showcase, I kept coming upon wondrous examples of advertising illustration. But I’d been reluctant to use them because there was plenty of fine art involving beer to keep me busy for quite some time. So instead, I started featuring advertising art with beer as a separate series. Every Thursday I highlight a beer ad, usually one from the past, that has some impressive artwork associated with it, and this is an archive of those beer advertisements.
