Beer In Ads #3832: A Good Pretzel Has A Lot Of Salt. A Good Beer Has Just A Little.

August 29, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for “Rainier Beer,” from the 1970s. 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 an eye-catching giant pretzel that fills the page. Below that is the tagline. “A good pretzel has a lot of salt. A good beer has just a little.” And below that, the text explains that Rainier’s brewers add a pinch of salt to the water.
