Beer In Ads #658: Guinness Guide To Guinness

July 25, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Guinness, from 1951. In the “Guinness Guide,” it includes three mixed drink with Guinness (Black Velvet, Half & Half, Guinness and Rum), four different serving temperature suggestions (regular, mulled, chilled, and cooler) and one historical tidbit that makes no sense. It’s about a calvary officer who was wounded at Waterloo and drank Guinness while he was recovering. I’m not sure what that adds to the average person’s enjoyment?
