Beer In Ads #1062: Masterpiece Inspired By The Monks’ Cellar

January 5, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for Feigenspan P.O.N. Ale, from sometime before 1943, which was when the Christian Feigenspan Brewing Co. was bought by Ballantine. P.O.N. stands for “Pride of Newark,” which is the in New Jersey city where the brewery was founded in 1875. I especially like the ad copy toward the bottom. “Don’t say a word … say P.O.N.”
