Beer In Ads #2595: My Beer Is Rheingold Says Ray Bolger

March 30, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Rheingold, from 1957. In the 1940s and 1950s, Rheingold recruited a number of prominent celebrities to do ads for them, all using the tagline: “My beer is Rheingold — the Dry beer!” This ad features American actor, singer, and dancer Ray Bolger. “He is best known for his portrayal of the Scarecrow in MGM’s classic The Wizard of Oz (1939). He was also the host of his own television show, The Ray Bolger Show.” In this ad, Bolger is set fir an evening of fun with a record on the record player and the only beer he pours, Rheingold Extra Dry.
