Beer In Ads #1246: The Finest Beer Sherlock Holmes Ever Tasted

July 8, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, from 1961, and features actor Basil Rathbone, perhaps most famous for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in numerous films. Apparently, according to Rathbone, Schaefer was “the Finest beer I ever tasted!”
