Beer In Ads #549: Make Sure It’s Molson

February 23, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Molson, from — I’m just guessing — the 1960s or 70s. I love the tray, and that ad copy. “Thirsting for the best of Canada? Make sure it’s Molson.”

    Based on the white font, I’d guess the 70’s. The grocery store where I worked in DC suburbs 71-78 sold that brew (which later got renamed “Molson Export”). I became partial to ales after I got my first tastes of it, Ballantine’s, & Carling Red Cap, but drank them rarely for $$ reasons.

    I visited the brewery in 1986 when in Toronto, but no tours were available the day I stopped in – still have a pair of tulip glasses I bought there. After Molson, I rode a streetcar to the long-gone Jarry Park (the Blue Jays’ park before the domed place where Jose Canseco banged a top floor suite window). Bonus was that the NHL HOF was nearby (but in the midst of a re-model), so I hit it before the ball game.

    Final note: got my 1st taste of Brador (which I’d never seen in the US) on Montreal in ’85 – in those days, it was an uber “malt liquor”; today, we’d most likely dis it.
