Beer In Ads #1365: Finest Beer Served … Again!

November 5, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Pabst Blue Ribbon, from 1950. This is from a series of billboard ads from around the same time I stumbled upon, though I’m sure the originals in color are more spectacular, though in case I’m a little glad it’s in black and white. In this second similar ad for Pabst, they’re advertising with two guy — father and son? — apparently leaning over the edge of a swimming pool, with the tagline “finest beer served … anywhere!” That, of they’re taking part in a contest to see who can make the most ridiculous face.
