Beer In Ads #1673: One Glass Invites Another!

September 9, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Blatz Old Heidelberg Beer, from 1940. It’s a “Special Pilsener Brewer,” which apparently means “it’s not bitter; it’s not sweet — it’s just want you want.” But I especially love their rationale for why you’ll love their “new clear glass bottle.” It “let’s you see what you’re drinking.”
