Beer In Ads #496: O’Keefe’s Dans L’esprit Des Fetes

December 12, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s holiday ad is for the Canadian beer O’Keefe Ale, from 1958. With the slogan “… dans l’esprit des fetes!” — “in the holiday spirit” — it features a fetching couple under the mistletoe pouring a glass of O’Keefe Ale.

    Does O’Keefe still exist? In my grocery store days (mid-70’s in a MD suburb of DC when I was the beer & wine buyer – Montgomery Co was the distributor, but brewery sales reps visited w/the promo stuff), I think we sold that brand (lager & ale, a la Molson), but never any special holiday brew.
