Beer In Ads #3370: Biere d’Orval

June 3, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for Orval, from maybe the 1930s or 40s. 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 created for the Orval Brewery (or Brasserie d’Orval), a Belgian Trappist brewery located at the Abbaye Notre-Dame d’Orval in the Gaume region of Belgium, and was founded in 1931. I’m not sure who created this poster.
