Beer In Ads #963: America’s Party Beer

August 27, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Grain Belt, from 1953. According to the ad, Grain Belt is “America’s Party Beer.” But my favorite part of the ad copy is that Grain Belt is also a “friendly” beer, a term common in 1950s advertising. So if you want to have a kick ass party, you’ll need “the friendly Beer with the friendly flavor.”

    Interesting that it shows two different styles of bottles. Two different styles of beer, too? Friendly, that.
