Beer In Ads #516: Next Time You’re Drinking Beer, Look At The Label

January 9, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Budwesier, from 1957, from their “Where’s there’s Life … there’s Bud!” series. Showing a couple presumably making dinner as the wife tosses a salad while her husband pours the beer, which she appears to find far more interesting than the salad. But what I really love is the ad copy in the top left-hand corner. “NEXT TIME you’re drinking beer, look at the label. Does it list the ingredients? The Budweiser label does.” Wow, so that means it is better. Barley, rice, hops, yeast and water. And the others that don’t list their ingredients. What do you think they’re using? Grapes? Corn? Well, okay maybe corn.
