Beer In Ads #149, Budweiser, Something More Than Beer

by Jay Brooks on July 13, 2010 · 0 comments

in Art & Beer,Beers

This week is shaping up to be a Budweiser sort of week, and Tuesday’s ad is from 1951 and features a couple opening their wedding gifts. Presumably, neither are happy about the statue she’s just unwrapped, but the tray of Bud he bringing in, now that’s the “mark of good taste.”
