Beer In Ads #3821: McBoing-Boing’s Cousin Wants A Change

August 18, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for “Rainier Beer,” from the 1950s. 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 features a cartoon character created by the UPA studio that created Gerald McBoing-Boing, referred to here as his cousin. And apparently he’s tired of martini’s and what to change to beer.
