Beer In Ads #1524: Tangy, English-Tavern Flavor

April 13, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Kent Ale, from 1935. It was made by the G. Krueger Brewing Co., who was the first to debut beer in cans earlier in the same year. Tis was the third of their beers they put in a can, after the first test in their Virginia market was so successful. What’s really interesting is the described the beer as an “India Pale Type Stock Ale,” which apparently has “tangy, English-tavern flavor.” I would have liked to have tasted that one.

    I like how one is advised to “serve [their ale] cool.”
