Wednesday’s ad is for Pils Adelshoffen La Bière Fine d’Alsace, from the early 20th century. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all last year, and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was for Brasserie Adelshoffen. Adelshoffen was a brewery in the village of Adelshoffen, in the Alsace region of France. It was founded in 1864, but closed in 2000. Today, its flagship brand, Adelscott, is owned by the Heineken group. I unfortunately do not know who created the poster, although it’s signed “Robys” in the upper-righthand corner.

After World War II, it continued to brew beer under a variety of trade names, before closing for good in 1985. The name of the artist is on the poster in the bottom right hand corner, but I can’t quite make it out. It looks sort of like Finney Eomissel, but I know that’s not right.
Beer In Ads #3256: Wissembourg Beer Jester

I’ve been posting vintage European posters all last year, and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was part of a series in which “[t]he joyful King celebrates the German way — with beer, of course!” One auction site describes the series as follows. “This poster was created by the C. Burckardt printing firm, and is part of a larger series of posters that were produced during the 1880s and 1890s. The company was based in the Alsatian town of Wissembourg, along the French border with Germany, and was also known for their cutout puppets, puzzles for children, educational charts, and religious depictions. These posters were created during a time that the Alsace region belonged to Germany, when the town was still called Weissenburg. All posters in this series have been printed via stone lithography, in multiple panels.” They claim he’s a king, but his grin says jester, to me.
