Beer In Ads #2322: Better Than Beer?

June 29, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Carling’s Red Cap Ale, from 1952. In this ad, showing a couple on a sailboat with the usual arrangement of a red cap and a glass of beer with a bottle of Red Cap Ale. Then there’s that headline. What’s better than beer? Why ale, of course, specifically light-hearted ale, whatever that means.
