Beer In Ads #2632: Bartenders For Ballantine’s Brewer’s Gold

May 6, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for is by Ballantine Ale, from 1958. In the 1950s, Ballantine advertised the hop variety “Brewer’s Gold” as “a rare strain of choice hops” and even registered it as a trade-mark, although Brewers Gold is widely available today. In this ad, a bartender is showing off a ginormous glass of Ballantine Ale to a mountain man of some kind.
