Beer In Ads #3764: With The Old-Time Flavor

June 21, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is for “Rainier Old German Lager,” from 1933. This ad was made for the Seattle Brewing & Malting Co., who made Rainier Beer, and was later known as the Rainier Brewing Company of Seattle, Washington. This one ran shortly after prohibition ended and they’re advertising their “Old German Lager” as “a brew that reminds you of the old days,” which presumably means the days when beer was legal before it foolishly outlawed for thirteen years.
