Beer In Ads #2633: More Pirates For Ballantine’s Brewer’s Gold

May 7, 2018 By Jay Brooks


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.
