Beer In Ads #3567: Oranjeboom Beer To Celebrate

December 3, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from the 1950s, although it is apparently unfinished and unpublished. 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 created for Oranjeboom Bierbrouwerij, which was founded in 1671 in Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. The brewery was moved to Breda, in the southern part of the country, in 1990, and went through a series of new owners before the brewery was subsequently sold to Interbrew (now AB-InBev) in 1995, who closed it in 2004. United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. I’m not sure who the artist was who created this poster, though I’m sure I’ve come across similar work with pint glasses with faces like this. The text at the bottom, “om feest bij te vieren!,” Google translates as “to celebrate.”
