Wednesday’s ad is for Heineken’s Pilsener, from the 1800s. Check out the shape and size of the bottles. This ad is old enough that Heineken still referred to their beer as a pilsener.

Beer In Ads #943: Raiders Of The Schlitzbox
Tuesday’s ad is for Schlitz, from the 1950s. It’s probably part of their “Schlitzerland” ad campaign, with this one focusing on the refrigerator, renamed here the “Schlitzbox,” back when people still referred to it as the icebox.

Beer In Ads #942: It Takes A Big Beer To Measure Up
Monday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1969. The ad curiously shows an upside-down red triangle — the anti-Bass triangle — with a small glass also upside-down on the long neck of the bottle. The wisdom imparted is “the bigger the glass, the better the Bud.”

Luckily, his smiling gal pal has a six-pack of Falstaff to soothe the savage breast.

Beer In Ads #940: The Falstaff Gorilla Rides A Motorcycle
Friday’s ad is still another one for Falstaff, again from 1964. It’s the fifth in an odd series of ads featuring a gorilla that Falstaff did that year. This one shows the gorilla riding a motorcycle with his blue-suited companion riding behind. Luckily they remembered to pack a case of Falstaff cans, which is strapped to the very back of the motorcycle with bungee cords.
