Beer In Ads #1090: The Colt 45 Super Bowl

February 2, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad — kind of a Super Bowl ad — is for Colt 45, from 1968, when in Super Bowl II my Green Bay Packers defeated the Oakland Raiders 33-14. It’s a funny idea, and if the beer they poured into the crystal bowl had been a better-tasting beer it might truly have been a super bowl.

    Just one question — who serves beer this way?

      Swillheads from the 60’s, of course -Colt 45 was a big alcohol bomb back then for beer. But imagine a crowd hanging around the bowl drinking from it out of long straws – a much better (& funnier) scenario!
