Beer In Ads #2513: My Beer Is Rheingold Says Ed Sullivan

January 6, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Rheingold, from 1958. In the early 1950s, Rheingold recruited a number of prominent celebrities to do ads for them, all using the tagline: “My beer is Rheingold — the Dry beer!” In this ad, American television personality, sports and entertainment reporter, and syndicated columnist Ed Sullivan, is portrayed as a busy newspaper columnist, but at least he has Rheingold Extra Dry to drink after work.
