Monday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1961. Showing a woman wearing too much makeup, and a party dress, lying in a hammock with a mug of beer, with a curious rhombohedron drawn around the can of Schlitz. I”m not even sure why.

Mensa’s Best Beer
Today’s infographic is from Mensa, believe it or not, showing American Mensa members favorite beers. If it shows anything, it’s that Mensa members aren’t quite as smart as they think they are. It’s not that Blue Moon or Samuel Adams Boston Lager are bad beers — they’re fine, really — but their top ten also includes Heineken, Corona, But Light and Stella Artois — which aren’t. Really there’s only three beers on their list I truly like and another I think is okay, if overrated. Of course, they only gave members a list of thirty beers chosen for their popularity and brand recognition (though no word on how they determined brand recognition), so maybe that was the bit that wasn’t terribly smart.

One interesting addition is they point out that beer is known by many names in the process from grain to glass, and list them in a flowchart.
