		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s work of art is by the German Dadaist George Grosz. He was born in Germany, but after 1938 he painted primarily in the United States, though he returned to Berlin late in life. He was perhaps best known for his caricatures. This week&#8217;s work, completed around 1928, is known as Political Conversation, The Café. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our 104th Guinness ad is another group portrait of many of the iconic Guinness animals and their zookeeper. Last week it was at the zoo, this week they&#8217;re at St. James Gate, the &#8220;Home of Guinness.&#8221; Which is ironic, since I was there last night — sort of. More on that later today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Friday&#8217;s ad is old one, undoubtedly from the 19th century. It&#8217;s for a St. Louis brewery, the oddly named Christian Staerlin&#8217;s Phienix Brewery. I love these old industrial illustrated love letters, showing large, gleaming colorful industrial complexes. They seem to have been quite common at one time. I wonder if anyone&#8217;s ever done a survey [...]]]></description>

Using their iconic slogan &#8220;When you&#8217;re out of Schlitz, you&#8217;re out of beer,&#8221; it&#8217;s presumably meant to be humorous.

		<description><![CDATA[We all know good labels, packaging and artwork can help a beer sell. I may not like that a mediocre beer might sell better than a great one if it has more eye-catching artwork, but it happens all the time. It was especially true in the early days of craft beer when many people who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday&#8217;s ad is another one for Budweiser, this time from 1962. Showing a half-dozen men of varying ages out for a night of bowling — league night, no doubt — and also drinking a few beers &#8220;between frames.&#8221; It seems likes everybody was in a bowling league in the 1950s through the 1970s. My Mom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an odd little story from Virginia, sent in by an alert reader (thanks Jeff). In many places, there&#8217;s a growing debate about plastic bags, paper bags or no bags at the grocery store. In Virginia, there currently is no law regarding them, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped stores all along the southeastern coast of Virginia [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday&#8217;s ad is for Budweiser, from 1961. The very-red ad shows a greasy-haired bartender in uniform, handing you a glass of Budweiser. There&#8217;s a bowl of popcorn on the bar and a Bud lamp on the wall behind. The ad is part of A-B&#8217;s long-running &#8220;where there&#8217;s life &#8230; there&#8217;s Bud&#8221; campaign, showing their beer [...]]]></description>

The ad was suggesting that instead of staying home to watch the big horse races, that tavern keepers instead invite you &#8220;Come and Watch the Races.&#8221; It looks to me like the couple drinking Schlitz must have won their race, they look so happy.]]></description>

While many religious denominations forbid their followers from drinking alcohol and others preach against it, it&#8217;s nice to see at least one take a more rational approach. Not only does Catholic Online tell everyone: [...]]]></description>
