Beer In Ads #3046: Osterbier & Bockbier

Saturday’s ad is for Osterbier & Bockbier, or Easter Beer and Bock Beer, from 1929. 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 was made for the Actienbrauerei Basel, located in Basel, Switzerland. It was founded in 1875, but closed in 1964. I don’t know who the artist is who created the poster, though it was printed by Publivox in Geneva.
