Beer In Ads #915: That Man — He’s Done It Again!
Friday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1950. In the wonderful illustration, it appears that a woman has discovered that her husband has emptied the refrigerator of food and filled it with Schlitz beer. Surveying the scene with a new bag of groceries on the table, not to mention other food scattered about the kitchen, all she can do is exclaim. “That Man — He’s Done It Again!”

Beer In Ads #914: Eberhardt & Ober Brewing Co.
Thursday’s ad is for the Eberhardt & Ober Brewing of Allegheny, Pennsylvania, from around 1890. While the brewery closed in the 1950s, some of the buildings are still in use by the craft brewery Penn Brewery. They even auctioned one of the original lithographs in 2008.
And here’s another version that’s a little brighter.

Beer In Ads #913: Ethel Merman Has Graduated To Carling’s
Wednesday’s ad is for Carling’s Red Cap Ale, from 1950. The ad is graduation-themed, with a disembodied Ethel Merman wearing a mortarboard hat with a tiny red cap on top. I love the way they characterize the beer as a “light-hearted ale.” For some reason that sounds better than light-bodied.

Anchor’s History Of Beer & Baseball In San Francisco
Dave Burkhart, Anchor Brewing‘s resdient historian, put together a great little video all about the connection between beer and baseball in San Francisco, along with its rich history, of course. The video brings to mind this great quote, by Peter Richmond. “Beer needs baseball, and baseball needs beer — it has always been thus.”
The Hopometer
Today’s infographic is an interactive one called The Hopometer, which is subtitled “Visualising beer strength and bitterness.” It was created by Peter G in London, whose blog Paint by Numbers is used for “focusing on [his] experiments with data visualisation predominantly using Tableau Software.” That’s why you really need to look at it on his page.
