Beer In Ads #1000: Beer Glass With Green Glove

October 17, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is, believe it or not, the 1,000th ad featured here, so I wanted to pick a special one to mark the occasion. The ad was created by famed Swiss poster artist Peter Birkhäuser, in 1957. It’s a beautiful illustration of a green-gloved hand holding a pilsner glass filled with a mahogany-colored beer with a tan head. Simply gorgeous.

    Congrats on the milestone! This is the kind of thing I’d love to have up in my office. Beautiful design.

    Congratulation on #1000. I’ve enjoyed them all. Please keep up the good work!

    Todays design is noted for its simplicity and reminds me of Art Deco.

    AWESOME! – Ditto Oliver’s comment (but I’d be hanging that on my bedroom door, given that I’m retired).
