Beer In Ads #1683: Great Stuff This Bass

September 19, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Bass Ale, from the 1940s. It’s a curious little ad. The block in the upper righthand corner with “Fishing” on it seems to suggest it was part of a series. I guess either he’s so engrossed in his fishing or he’s had enough Bass Ale that he didn’t even notice a tiny man put a ladder on his back, climbed up and attached a sign to his back. “Great Stuff This Bass”

    2015 version would have the sign on his back reading “All about that Bass; Forget the tripel” 🙂
