Beer In Ads #84: Budweiser’s New York Beacon

April 9, 2010 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Friday’s ad is for Budweiser and reflects the optimism of its publication date, which was 1933, just after the end of prohibition. Above cloudy skies, the Empire State Building, like a lighthouse beacon, shines around the city, lighting it up for the fun below. Below the beacon, an orchestra plays, people dine and dance, all, presumably, with the newly legal beer.
