Beer In Ads #1768: Guinness Time

December 23, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s holiday ad is for Guinness, from 1962. This is one of the last illustrations John Gilroy did for Guinness, and it was featured on the company magazine for Christmas 1962. The slightly angled one below is the largest image of it I could find, although the smaller one below it gives you a better look at it. I like how determined Santa is to get that glass of beer, willing to jump through a harp held my a lion.

    Very clever to have Santa jumping through a HARP than the more ordinary hoop.

    Jay, Happy Holidays to you & yours from this fan of your labors.
