Beer In Ads #2001: Downing A Bottle Of Carlsberg

August 13, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Carlsberg, from 1952. The ad shows a stylized man downing a bottle of Carlsberg. His right arm holding the bottle is crooked into the shape of a Carlsberg “C” and his head, too, seems bent into a “C.” It was done by a Danish poster artist, Henn Nielsen, and it definitely has a fifties look to it. I love how the man is staring out with one eye at the viewer, and seems to be smirking at us.
