Beer In Ads #3077: Falken Musical Trio

Tuesday’s ad is for Bierbrauerei Falken Schaffhausen, from 1931. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 was made for the Bierbrauerei Falken Schaffhausen, or Falcon Brewery, of Schaffhausen , Switzerland. The brewery was founded in 1799, and is still in business today, and is “considered the only independent brewery in the Schaffhausen region,” and is Switzerland’s 5th largest brewery. This one is for their Oster-Bock, or Easter Bock, and shows a trio of musicians — tuba, trombone, and clarinet — playing around keg of beer while two out of three have their own mug of beer, although only the tuba player is holding his. Even the dog has a dish of beer under the tap. It was created by Swiss artist Arnold Oechslin.

Beer Birthday: Paul Sangster

August 6, 2019 By Jay Brooks Leave a Comment

Today is the birthday of Paul Sangster, who is the brewmaster of Rip Current Brewing in San Marcos, California and a co-founder with his partner Guy Shobe. By a strange coincidence, Guy’s sister is our neighbor across the street at the home we bought nearly seven years ago and his niece is one of my daughter’s best friends. So I’ve met Paul and Guy a couple of time now, and it was great seeing them win big at the 2015 GABF. Paul is a longtime San Diego homebrewer and won numerous awards before leaving his career in 2014 to turn pro.
