Beer In Ads #947: Pabst Makes It Perfect!

August 5, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is yet another one for Pabst Blue Ribbon, this one from 1958. Featuring an artist painting what looks like something abstract, or possibly a terrible landscape, though curiously there’s a woman on the grass under his easel with a tray of food and a glass of beer. He’s apparently taking a break with his own beer and a smoke … or maybe that’s the way he paints. Maybe it’s just me, but his posture makes him look like quite the schlub.

    The bigger question .. Is he:
    a) eyeing the lady; or
    b) just watching paint dry?
