Beer In Ads #1293: Have You Ever Had A Glass Of Beer By Candlelight?

August 25, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is from the United States Brewers Association, from the late 1950s. This was well after the “Beer Belongs” series, and even after the unnumbered ones the followed the “Home Life in America” series. It’s also by the United States Brewers Association instead of the United States Brewers Foundation, as earlier ones had been. As a result, I believe it’s most likely after 1956. I love the look on the woman’s face. She’s having a good time with her glass of beer by candlelight. Those glasses look more like wine glasses, though, don’t they?

    Not since the Loma Prieta Quake in ’89 (after I got home from “the Stick” almost 4 hrs after it happened & did a little driving around in Oakland, where I lived then). Have no clue whether it was a from a “homey” keg or something I had in the fridge).
