Beer In Ads #446: 33 Fine Beers Blended Into One Great Beer

October 3, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Pabst, possibly from the later 1940s or 50s, and is a busy, colorful cartoon. It’s set in a fishing boat by a pier, where we learn that Pabst blends their beer, from 33 different beers no less, to make it “like finest champagne.” And it’s not just blended, but specially blended.

    Interesting that the 7 oz. bottle is called “club size.”
    Never saw that before. More likely this is a pre-WWII label.
