Beer In Ads #3950: Good Cheer

December 25, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’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 shows a wintery scene with the Hamm’s Bear riding a toboggan down a mountain with three glasses on beer in tow, with the tagline “Good Cheer,” and at the bottom of the ad, Hamm’s From the land of sky blue waters!”
