Beer In Ads #1593: Better Try Extra-Dry

June 21, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for Goebel Beer, from 1949. The Detroit, Michigan brewery set their ad at night in the desert, presumably to make the association with an arid climate since the tagline is “better try extra-dry Goebel beer.” It certainly makes me thirsty looking at all that sand, not to mention the campfire.

    Rheingold later used “extra dry” in their jingles.
