Beer In Ads #2641: Fun Time With Ballantine’s Brewer’s Gold

May 15, 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 group of people are laughing it up at a party with free flowing beer. They seem to be having a good time, though I’m sure the beer is at least partly responsible.
