Beer In Ads #2387: Great Stuff This Dancing

September 2, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Bass Ale, from 1953. Bass Ale was one of the beers that helped push me away from the regional lagers I grew up drinking in Eastern Pennsylvania, and toward more flavorful beers. Jazz clubs in New York City in the late 1970s frequently carried Bass, and I really liked how different it tasted, compared to what I was used to. In this ad, another one from the “Great Stuff This Bass” series,” they’re highlighting dancing, and the drinking and smoking(?) that goes with it.
