Monday’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 pair of pirates are holding (maybe burying) a chest of gold but on the sand with them is a ginormous glass of Ballantine Ale.
