Beer In Ads #1791: G.F. Burkhardt’s Bock Beer

January 15, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for G.F. Burkhardt’s Bock Beer, from 1877. The G.F. Burkhardt Brewery, of Boston, Massachusetts, was originally founded in 1850 but was effectively closed by prohibition in 1918, never to return after its repeal. The ad shows quite the raucous party in the cellar of the brewery, complete with the requisite goat.
