Beer In Ads #3869: Yours At The Bewitching Hour

October 5, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for “Hamm’s,” from 1959. This ad was made for Hamm’s Brewing, which was founded in 1865 by Theodore Hamm in St. Paul, Minnesota. At its peak, it was the 5th largest brewery in America, and operated facilities in five cities, including San Francisco, L.A., Baltimore and Houston, in addition to the original brewery in Minnesota. This one features a lakeside scene at sunset with two people holding up glasses of beer to toast, with the tagline: “Yours at the bewitching hour … from the land of sky blue waters!”
