Beer In Ads #3412: Linkebeek

July 17, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for Linkebeek, from before 1936. 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 Brouwerij Frans Vos-Kina, which was located in Linkebeek, which is a Belgian municipality in Flanders, part of the province of Flemish Brabant, and in the administrative district of Halle-Vilvoorde. The municipality only comprises the town of Linkebeek proper. In 1936, they merged with Merlo and known as Merlink until 1956. I don’t know who the artist is who created this poster.
