Beer In Ads #3874: Refreshment …

October 10, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for “Hamm’s,” from 1954. 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 fanciful column of glasses of beer coming over a lake scene in the background, with the tagline: “Refreshment … from the land of sky blue waters!”

Here’s a slightly larger image of the left-hand side of the double truck ad.
