Beer In Ads #969: A Great Irish Name …

September 4, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for “A Great Irish Name … Guinness.” I believe the ad is from the mid-1950s and is for Guinness Ale – Beer, a pair of brands they no longer make, though when exactly they discontinued them, I’m not sure. The ad shows the bottle for Guinness Brite Lager Beer full, and the Guinness Brite Ale being poured into a glass, though I don’t recall either of them, so perhaps they were already gone when my drinking days begin in the 1970s.

    We need an early “boomer”/70-something to clue us on those; I never saw either (DC area) late 60’s.
