Beer In Ads #335: The Ballantine Eskimo

March 28, 2011 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
After a week on hiatus during the Craft Brewers Conference, Monday’s ad is a Ballantine ad from 1950, and features a snowy scene near the north pole. Three stages of the aurora borealis add the Ballantine rings in glorious shimmering color while an Eskimo looks on, making Ballantine’s three fingers and the “okay” sign with his hand — which signifies “three rings.”

    Interesting to see American beer being advertised in a stemmed glass. Very cool.
