Beer In Ads #3031: Gambrinus Bock Bier

June 21, 2019 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for Bock Bier, from 1890. 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 poster is for Bock and features Gambrinus riding a beer keg being pulled by two goats. The poster was published by Adolf Engel, Royal Court Press and Publishing House Berlin, Germany.
