Beer In Ads #2727: Steal The Show

August 9, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’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 1971, and features a bottle and mug of Michelob, in the spotlight on a stage.
