Beer In Ads #3275: They All Drink The Beer Of La Croix De Lorraine

February 29, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’s ad is for Brasserie et Malterie de la Croix de Lorraine,” from the early 20th century. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all last year and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was for La Croix De Lorraine, a brewery in Bar-le-Duc, a commune in the Meuse area of France, located in the northeast. The brewery is named for the Cross of Lorraine, a particular type of cross common to the area. This one shows fove different people all drinking a large mug of beer with the text above reading “ils Boivent tous la Biere de La Croix de Lorraine de Bar le Duc,” which translates to “they all drink the beer of La Croix de Lorraine from Bar le Duc.” I don’t know who the artist is that created the poster.
