Beer In Ads #3124: Oktoberfest 1955

Sunday’s ad is for the Munich Oktoberfest, from 1955. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 the Munich Oktoberfest, which began yesterday and runs through October 6. So from now until then I figured I’d post posters from the German folk festival. The poster was created by German artist and designer Ernst Kosslinger.
