Beer In Ads #2120: Blue Ribbon North American Game Birds

December 9, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Pabst Blue Ribbon, from the 1980s. In this ad, a poster by Pabst, entitled “Blue Ribbon North American Game Birds,” it shows illustrations of nine popular game birds. Presumably it was intended to hang in bars frequented by hunters, or perhaps people who love birds. Speaking of which, there are far fewer beer ads using birds that I thought there would be, so this will be the last one for now (not including the many John Gilroy Guinness ads featuring toucans). I must be in the minority, because I love birds.

Here’s a second view of the poster, though for the life of me I don’t understand why they displayed it on a Coors tablecloth.
