Beer In Ads #760: James Monroe For Budweiser

December 15, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is the last (that I know of) in the Budweiser historical series from 1908. The black and white ad is text-heavy and includes a history lesson on James Monroe, our fifth president and the architect of the Monroe Doctrine. After the requisite historical bit, it launches into this priceless series of claims:

WHEN old Mother Earth grows better malting barley than northern soil produces —

WHEN the fertile valleys and verdant mountain slopes of Old Bohemia grow better hops —

WHEN natures produces better and purer waters —

WHEN brew-science has been developed to a higher art —

THEN, and not till then, will it be possible to produce a better beer than Budweiser.

Good luck with that.
