Beer In Ads #2057: The Whole Nation Enjoys

October 8, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1888. In this ad, a very patriotic server, in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, is setting down a third glass of beer, as her two customers try to clink their glasses together while staring off into space. And are those the smallest beer glasses you’ve ever seen? And lastly, what about that goat table leg?

    Maybe they’re at a brew fest and those are tasting glasses. Weird ad!

    Feather Falls Brewing Co. in Oroville, CA–go, Roland!!!–has very small tasting mugs that are even smaller than those depicted here.
