Beer In Ads #1351: From The Land Of Sky Blue Waters

October 22, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Hamm’s, from 1951. This is from a series of billboard ads from the same year I stumbled upon, though I’m sure the originals in color are more spectacular. In this Hamm’s ad, using their iconic tagline “From the land of sky blue waters,” imagine it ginormous, with a bottle of beer being poured into a pilsner glass, with a picturesque outdoor background.

    I agree you have to use you imagination. The beer looks like it could be water, and the background does not fit the word picturesque. Too bad.
