Beer In Ads #1605: A Very Special Glass Of Beer

July 3, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is another baseball-themed one for Ballantine Premium, from 1968. This one is “Go Phillies!” and shows the three broadcasters for the Philadelphia games. The only one I recognize is Ashburn, who also used to play for the Phils (but then I was an Orioles fan as a rebellious kid). This ad also features another generic illustration of baseball action. Just what the hell is that symbol on the uniform of the player sliding into home?

    I stand corrected from my recent post about another Ballantine ad – but this one is more of a sign one would expect to see in a barroom (window). Only time I ever made it to Connie Mackl (aka Shibe Park) was on a Sunday in 1970 – it’s last year of existence. No beer for sale because of the stupid blue laws – my buddies & I soon figured out why most every adult had a cooler. 1971, we go up to the Vet on a Sunday – lo & behold, there were beer vendors in the stands selling Schmidt’s draft in pre-poured plastic cups with Saran Wrap tops. Don’t recall what else was available @ the concession stands, but the choices were limited. Contrast that with now, when you can get excellent local craft beer @ concession stands (the vendors sell the crap) @ the new park.
