Tuesday’s ad is for “Coors Golden Lager Beer,” from 1980. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This ad features the tagline “Taste the High Country,” which was used in the early 1980s and another dude, though this time with a full beard posing with his horse. Advertising at this time really went through a cowboy phase, and it wasn’t just Coors. Ads from the same time by Anheuser-Busch, Marlboro and many others were heavily cowboy-themed.
