Beer In Ads #1809: James Madison — “Father of the Constitution”

February 2, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1915, No. 2 in a series they did in 1914-15 called “Framers of the Constitution of the U.S.A.” The second one features James Madison, and tells the story of Madison creating the Constitution, and being a moderate beer drinker. “Many a foaming glass of good barley-malt beer he drank with his bosom friend Thomas Jefferson.”

    Love that the distributor in the ad was in SLC, where, by law, it likely was 3.2 ABW (= 4.0 ABV). Then, it was 6-6.5 ABV to be sold elsewhere
