Beer In Ads #479: Real Gusto Plain

November 17, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Schlitz, from their “Real Gusto” series of ads that took place in the 1960s. This is at least the fourth one of these I’ve featured, and it’s probably one of the tamest. While other ads included a can, a hat and even the Olympics, this is just a smiling man in a plain white shirt gripping his mug of beer as foam trickles down the side, threatening to drip to the ground any second now.
