Beer In Ads #2432: Precious Cargo

October 17, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1945. “Just the Kiss of the Hops” was a popular slogan used by Schlitz for several decades. It’s meant to express that their beer had no bitterness, but they definitely had some fun with it over the years. In this ad, an over-dressed couple is on a hike through the woods when they come to a stream. So the man carries the woman across the stream, while she carries two bottles of Schlitz. I can’t help but wonder if he would have carried her if she didn’t have the beer?
