Beer In Ads #617: Don’t Cry Over Spilled Beer

May 29, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Franz Falk Brewing Co., a Wisconsin brewery which was only around for a short time, from 1856 to 1892 — 36 years. I don’t know for sure, but it looks to me to be from the latter half of the 19th century. I’m not sure why anyone would entrust a couple of beer bottles and glasses on a tray to a young girl, but she certainly knows she’s not supposed to drop them. I can’t tell if she’s so upset because one of them is about to break or she knows she’s going to get a whoopin’ when her father finds out.

    Looks like the capped brew will have a soft landing – the “oh shit” is that it will be a gusher when opened 🙂
