Beer In Ads #106: Budweiser, Age Old Partner With Fine Food

May 11, 2010 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Tuesday’s ad is for Budweiser from the 1950s. The ad is positioning Budweiser as a food friendly beer. The dish in the center reads. “Age Old Partners — Fine Beer and Fine Food.” All the other dishes depict some of the foods they believe Bud will pair well with: pheasant, turkey, duck, beef, lobster, deer and fish. Having been to several beer dinners put on by Anheuser-Busch, I can’t say that Bud is a versatile as they suggest, and is frankly overwhelmed by most of those dishes. But it’s interesting to see them try to position it as an all-purpose food beer.
