Beer In Ads #2454: Life And Litters

November 8, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Guinness, from 1961. While the best known Guinness ads were undoubtedly the ones created by John Gilroy, Guinness had other creative ads throughout the same period and afterward, too, which are often overlooked. In this ad, marked “Guinness Pets Page No. 4,” it talks about how rabbits make great pets, and then finish up by also mentioning they’re great in a stew, too, with a Guinness, of course. Pets or meat, I guess.
