Beer In Ads #2634: Boating Time With Ballantine’s Brewer’s Gold

May 8, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for is by Ballantine Ale, from 1957. 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 couple took a rowboat across a lake and have stopped at a secluded spot, where another couple was waiting for them, having already laid down a blanket and were settled with glasses of Ballantine Ale. But it looks like they have enough beer to go around.
