Beer In Ads #2312: Be Light-Hearted, Captain!

June 19, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Carling’s Red Cap Ale, from 1952. In this ad, part of another series featuring the tagline “Be Light-Hearted!,” a sailing couple is toasting with two glasses of beer. He’s wearing a captain’s hat while she wears a regular mate’s cap. I guess he’s in charge.
