Beer In Ads #1888: Week End In The Country

April 21, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is entitled Week End In The Country, and the illustration was done in 1948 by Austin Briggs. It’s #19 in a series entitled “Home Life in America,” also known as the Beer Belongs series of ads that the United States Brewers Foundation ran from 1945 to 1956. In this ad, a group of city dwellers are spending their weekend breathing fresh air at one couple’s weekend getaway house. Having beers in the back yard, most of them have learned how to relax, but at least one — the guy still in his suit and bow tie — is still too city.
