Beer In Ads #324: Boddington’s, The Cream Of Manchester

March 4, 2011 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is rather newer one, from 1996, is for Boddington’s, whose nickname — at least in ads — was “The Cream of Manchester.” It was a very popular imported brand for a time, though almost exclusively in the 16 oz. can. I always thought the ads with the ice cream scoop were a clever way to communicate the idea of its creaminess.
