Beer In Ads #1114: Tastes Refreshing Naturally

February 26, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Coors, from 1970. This is from the time when Coors was still only sold in the Western states, and as a result enjoyed a certain cult status in the East. I remember they had a lot of these minimalist ads, beauty shots, showing simply the Rocky Mountains, a stream of Rocky Mountain Spring Water, and a glass of beer. BUt is it just me, or does that pilsner glass have some odd bumps on it?

    My folks had a set of these beer glasses. The bumps are actually concave dimples that are supposed to make the glasses look more attractive/distinctive.

    Also, during my formative years in California and Alaska, Coors beer truly had a cult following including myself!
