Beer In Ads #29: Ballantine’s Good Taste

January 25, 2010 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Monday’s ad is for Ballantine Ale from 1947. It features a woman in a white dress with white roses in her hair. Is that really who drank ale in the late 1940s? Ah, well. If I’d just come back from the war, I suppose I’d have a beer with her, too.
