Beer In Ads #2722: Next Picnic, Why Not Do The Unexpected?

August 4, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Michelob, one of the brands created by Anheuser-Busch as a draft-only beer in 1896. It was first packaged in 1961, and its distinctive teardrop bottle won a design award the following year. But that was replaced in 1967 “for efficiency in the production line,” but reverted to a traditional bottle in 2002. This ad is from 1970, and features six cans of Michelob — five full and one freshly poured into a mug. Laying over top of the cans is a skewer with a cooked hot dog on one end.
