Beer In Ads #2882: Croix De Lorraine

January 22, 2019 By Jay Brooks

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 3993724870_6a0224e391.jpg

Tuesday’s ad is for Croix De Lorraine, from the 1920s or 30s, I think. I don’t really know. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Kreusbrau’s Croix De Lorraine, which means the Cross of Lorraine.

Monday’s ad is for Bieres Georges, from 1930, I think. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Brasserie Georges, which was a brewery in Lyon, France opened in 1836 by Georges Hoffherr. The imagery, of course, is St. George slaying the dragon.

Beer In Ads #2880: Brasserie Flad Albi

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 3993724870_6a0224e391.jpg

Sunday’s ad is for Brasserie Flad Albi, from the late 1800s, I think. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Brasserie Flad Albi, which was a brewery in Albi, a town located in southern France. It was founded in 1822, and closed in 1964. I’m not sure when the poster was created, but one of the bridges depicted was built in 1866, so it must after that. It’s also an early example of being meta since the man (Gambrinus?) sitting by the keg is holding up a bottle with a picture of him on the label.

Saturday’s ad is for French Beer, from the 1920s or 30s. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Français!.. buvez des bieres Françaises, which translates to “French! drink French beers.”

Beer In Ads #2878: Vejle Pilsner

January 18, 2019 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for Vejle Pilsner, from 1920. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Vejle Pilsner, a beer from Bryggeriet Vejle, in Denmark. It was founded in 1858, but acquired in 1898 by Østjyske Bryggerier. I think the poster is from before the merger, but I’m not certain. Google translates the text at the bottom to “it must have father,” so it’s probably something like “My father must have this.”

Thursday’s ad is for Biere Supreme Gangloff, from 1920. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Biere Supreme Gangloff, a beer from Brasserie Gangloff, in the eastern French city of Besançon that was bought by Mr. Gangloff before World War I. It was created by French commercial artist Marcellin Auzolle.

Beer In Ads #2876: Birra Venezia

January 16, 2019 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Birra Venezia, from 1926. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Birra Venezia, or beers of Venice, Italy. It was created by French commercial artist Achille Mauzan for his agency, Mauzan-Morzenti.

It appears they created a second one, too, that’s almost exactly the same except for what the man on top of the table pouring beers is wearing. The signature is slightly different, too, listing Mauzan’s agency rather than Mauzan himself.

Beer In Ads #2875: Birra Verona

January 15, 2019 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Birra Verona, from the early 1900s, I think. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for C. Dobrawsky Birra Verona, or beers of Verona, Italy. As far as I can tell, Carlo Dobrawsky owned a brewery in Verona which operated under that name from 1912-1923.

This poster is for the Brasserie Rauch, located in the northeast region of France known as Baccarat, a French commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle. The brewery was founded by the Rauch Brothers in 1867, but it closed in 1949.

January 13, 2019 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for La Meuse, from 1900, or before. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for the La Meuse, a river that runs through much of France. It was the industrial center of France at one time, and in the mid-1800s boasted over 40 breweries.
