Beer In Ads #1044: World-Class Slovak Christmas

December 18, 2013 By Jay Brooks Leave a Comment


Wednesday’s ad is for Zlaty Bazant, or Golden Pheasant, a Slovakian beer, now owned by Heineken. I don’t think it’s particularly old (it’s from 2011) but I love the idea of a pillowy head creating a wintery wonderland.

Slovak Beer Infographic

Today’s infographic is a fairly narrow one, in terms of its scope. It tackles beer in Slovakia. And although Slovak Beer uses a limited color palette, it still manages to communicate the information quite elegantly. I’d like to see one of these for every country.
