Beer In Ads #2138: Hamm’s Acid Trip

December 27, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Hamm’s, from 1974. It was created as an iron-on t-shirt design by RoAcH studios. And typical of the designs of that time, it looks to me like what the Hamm’s Bear would see after he dropped acid, chased with a Hamm’s, of course. Sitting by a stream, beer mug in hand, leaning on a beer can that’s about the same size as a man, and bright, colorful flowers all around, and the rays of the run peeking above the top of the can. Dude….
