Beer In Ads #919: Califlorida Here We Come

June 27, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Blatz beer, from 1948. Showing an orange tree supposedly with both California and Florida oranges on it, along with the Blatz beer bottles. Based on the ad copy, it looks like they were going after bigger breweries brewing in multiple breweries around the country when they state that they’ve “brewed only in Milwaukee for 97 years.” They also suggest that customers should be patient and wait for the Milwaukee beer to arrive in California … or Florida.
