Beer In Ads #1324: How Does Our Educational System Benefit From The Brewing Industry?

September 25, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is another one from the United States Brewers Foundation, from 1951. This a series of ads they did in 1951 using a Q&A format aimed at highlighting different positive aspects of beer and the brewing industry.

Q
How does our educational system benefit from the Brewing Industry?

A
State beer taxes help build schools and provide salaries for teachers.

According to the ad, that’s where a lot of the $193 million in state excise taxes paid by the brewing industry go. And this is addition to the $700 million in federal excise taxes they refer to other ads in this series.

    In 1951 that may have been true; doubt that’s the case 63 yrs later.
