Beer In Ads #96: Van Nostrand’s Owl-Musty

April 27, 2010 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Tuesday’s ad is from 1906 and is for Van Nostrand’s Owl-Musty, whatever that means. Presumably, the beer was called Owl-Musty but that doesn’t strike me as a particularly appetizing sounding name.The brewery is Bunker Hill Breweries, located in Charlestown, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1821 and folded in 1918, 12 years after this ad ran.
