Beer In Ads #2948: The Standing Beer Clown

Friday’s ad is for Der Stehclown, or the Standing Clown, from 1966. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This was part of a series of postcards promoting beer by the German Brewers Association. It was created by German artist Jo Müller.
