Beer In Ads #1371: Over The Border From Canada .. Comes

November 11, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Carling’s Canadian (Red Cap) Ale, from 1934. I like tat the ad is effectively showing one way to get through border security, though I don’t suppose that’s what they had in mind for this Canadian beer that — wait for it — was brewed in Ohio. And I love that the reason they decided to make it was for those “admirable people who have been impatiently waiting for someone in America to brew a real Canadian ale.” And according to the ad copy, “you’re going to like it.” Why? Because “it’s a palatable, hearty, comforting drink for a man’s man. That’s certain.” But what about the ladies, you may be asking yourself? Not to worry. “And for the girl who shoots and paddles and swings a wicked mashie.” Don’t do any of those things? Then stay the fuck away from this beer, you’re not the right kind of girl for Red Cap.

    Nice find. Also, the jockey is obviously having a great time, hinting that the beer is best enjoyed while performing tasks generally deemed inappropriate for drunks.

    … and note that the steeplechase hurdle is tilted backwards, making it easier for horse & rider to navigate!
