Beer In Ads #485: Bring On The Falstaff

November 25, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Falstaff, from 1955. It’s another Thanksgiving ad, and the setting looks exactly like my family’s table. Look how perfect everyone looks. And how about that headline. “Along with Autumn’s Golden Best … Bring on the Falstaff.” But I do love the bottle suspended in the air, pouring down into the already full pilsner glass, presumably mere seconds from it spilling over and making a great mess. Take a close look at the bottle, it’s practically full. Even if it wasn’t, just the amount of beer flowing but not yet in he glass will make it overflow.
