Beer In Ads #581: Ballantine & Croquet

April 9, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Ballantine Ale from 1947. It’s part of the series they did in the forties where they used dioramas and odd-looking clay figures in various settings. This one shows a group of 19th century dandies playing croquet in an idyllic park-like setting, most likely some rich estate.

    It looks like they have had a few Ale’s while playing croquet.
