Sunday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company.” This ad, from 1947, features a very enthusiastic Thanksgiving dinner. I say that because I’ve never even heard of a Thanksgiving dinner where people dress up as pilgrims with little pilgrim hats. She’s also carrying a tray of beer that also has on it a turkey centerpiece with toothpicks holding cut-up hot dog pieces. Yum. Of course, maybe they’re turkey dogs?

Beer In Ads #2771: In Tavern Or Club … It’s Beer At Its Best
Saturday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company.” This ad, from 1937, features a group of men — all men, oddly — in a bar, having a meal and some beer. Although maybe it’s a “gentlemen’s club” since the tagline is “In tavern or club … IT’S BEER AT ITS BEST.”

Beer In Ads #2769: Finest Beer Annabella Ever Tasted
Thursday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M.

Wednesday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company.” This ad, from 1950, features the tagline “Get Pale Dry .. Quick!” Asking customers to order your beer quick seems like a weird approach to take.
Beer In Ads #2767: Paulette Goddard’s Antique Shop
Tuesday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company.” This ad, from 1948, features American actress Paulette Goddard holding a glass of beer, and there’s another photo of her in the background holding an armload of antiques. That’s because, according to the ad, she’s opened an antique shop in Pomona, New York. I’m not sure what that had to do with anything, but maybe that’s how Schaefer got her to appear in the ad.

Beer In Ads #2764: World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers
Saturday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company.” This ad, from 1955, features the team photo from the Brooklyn Dodgers, who that year won their first world series, and the only one while still located in Brooklyn. The ad was still using the tagline of that time period, “For real enjoyment — real beer!”
During the same time, Schaefer also created this really cool 3-D display piece, taking the team photo and essentially cutting out the figures to give it a three-dimensional effect.
Beer In Ads 2763: Your Kind Of Beer — Real Beer!
Friday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company.” This ad, from 1958, features a man who may be dressed for sailing, based on the two ships toward the top of the ad. He’s holding a can of beer, about to take a drink. But what I don’t know is what’s going on in the bottom right-hand corner. I can’t quite tell where they are and what they’re doing, but I think they’re drinking going on.
