Beer In Ads #3867: Reach, Sir! It’s Something Special!

October 3, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for “Hamm’s,” from the 1950s. This ad was made for Hamm’s Brewing, which was founded in 1865 by Theodore Hamm in St. Paul, Minnesota. At its peak, it was the 5th largest brewery in America, and operated facilities in five cities, including San Francisco, L.A., Baltimore and Houston, in addition to the original brewery in Minnesota. This one features a can of beer in the snow with someone holding up a glass of beer to it, with the tagline: “Reach, sir! It’s something special! … from the land of sky blue waters!”
