Beer In Ads #111: Bud On Ice

May 18, 2010 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for Budweiser, who on this day opened not one, but two new plants. They opened a new brewery in Tampa, Florida on this day in 1959 and in Houston, Texas in 1966. I’m not sure of the date of the ad, but judging by the look of the cans, and the “Tab Top” text around the bottom of each can, I’d guess the early 1960s. But I do like the simplicity of the ad and the playful pun.

    Just found out about your blog via a friend suggestion. Love this ad! Reminds me of those word puzzles from elementary school.
