Beer In Ads #894: Taste And Enjoy This Truly Genuine Beer

May 23, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Miller Beer, from 1959. It’s another one of Miller’s minimalist ads from the late fifties. Showing a scene that’s looks to be a fancy cocktail party, but one where tuxedoed guests sit on the floor and there’s a gold plated beer bucket cooling the Miller High Life. I have to wonder, though. What exactly is “truly genuine.”

    The guy sitting on the floor looks like Tony Randall; Japanese-style furnishings are oxymorinic – I wonder how many Millers that one sold.
