Beer In Ads #431: Schlitz, Money Isn’t Everything

August 22, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is a 1951 ad for Schlitz. In the ad, two suburban men are sitting in their backyard enjoying a couple of brewskis when a gypsy organ grinder happens upon them, produces a pilsner glass and holds it out expectantly. The man pouring beer just smirks. Ah, it was a more innocent time, when a swarthy stranger roaming the neighborhood, looking for beer handouts, was not cause for alarm.

    Wow, if that happened in Palo Alto, the two suburbanites would piss themselves, run into the house, call the cops, then cower behind the drapes until they arrived.
