Beer In Ads #559: The Talk Of The Town

March 8, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is New York’s Knickerbocker Beer, from Jacob Ruppert Brewing. The ad’s from 1952, and I can’t understand why the New York Knicks don’t wear uniforms like the Knickerbocker (who they were named for) in the ad? It’s a mystery.

    In today’s excessively petty & litigious world, “New Yorker” mag probably would sue them for some kind of infringement. “TALK OF THE TOWN”, a quickie local info column, has been in the 1st 5-10 pages of that mag forever.

    I’d love to see Carmelo Anthony try to shoot hoops in that get-up 🙂
