Beer In Ads #2671: New Brew For The New Breed

June 14, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for GBX Malt Liquor, from 1970. It was introduced by Grain Belt around 1970. The ad shows disembodied images of four couples and other “lifestyle” images of race cars in a very seventies style. I’m not sure what the connection to racing they’re trying to draw, but it’s an odd one.
