Beer In Ads #1002: Picnicking In Pink

October 21, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1953. It’s a fairly typical Fifties-era ad for Schlitz, with the illustration showing a woman in a pink dress seated beneath a tree on a grassy knoll as her beau hands her a glass of Schlitz. One of my first dates with my wife was a picnic on Angel Island, but we looked like nothing like this couple. Oh, and I didn’t bring Schlitz.
