Beer In Ads #954: Brewed With Corn Means Quality Beer

August 14, 2013 By Jay Brooks 1 Comment


Wednesday’s ad is for the American Corn Millers’ Federation, from 1933, just as Prohibition ended. The ad is singing the praises of brewing with “dry milled corn grits,” which they explain is “the public preference.” And then there’s this great tagline: “Brewed with Corn Means Quality Beer.”

Red, White And Food

Today’s bonus infographic is also from Thrillist, and is entitled Red, White and Food. Like the earlier beer map, this one shows the most iconic fast food restaurant associated with each state, with this stated goal. “This is an attempt to maximize the most noteworthy restaurant chain (with an emphasis on fast food where possible) associated with each state. Could mean it was founded there. Could mean it’s headquartered there. Could mean both.”

Today’s infographic is from Thrillist, and is entitled Red, White and Booze. The map shows the most iconic brand associated with each state, with the goal of “plotting the biggest/most high-profile liquor or beer companies from each of the 50. We know there are at least infinity amazing craft breweries in each of these states, but this map’s about the big boys, at least when there are big boys to be noted.”
