Beer In Ads #2631: Pirates For Ballantine’s Brewer’s Gold

May 5, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for is by Ballantine Ale, from 1958. In the 1950s, Ballantine advertised the hop variety “Brewer’s Gold” as “a rare strain of choice hops” and even registered it as a trade-mark, although Brewers Gold is widely available today. In this ad, a pirate appears to have found some liquid gold in the form of a ginormous glass of Ballantine Ale.
