Beer In Ads #1937: Casting Lessons In The Backyard

June 9, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is entitled Casting Lessons in the Backyard, and the illustration was done in 1952 by Douglass Crockwell. It’s #68 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 people are relaxing in someone’s backyard. After many beers, they decided it would be a good idea to get out a fishing rod and start lawn casting.
