Beer In Ads #974: There’s Only One Favorite

September 11, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is yet another one for Miller High Life, this one from May of 1950. Showing cartoons of American leisure, and the many occasions when a beer might be in order, it’s a stylish, if a little chaotic, ad. I don’t recall High Life labels having “Old Original” on them, just below the word “Beer?” Anybody remember that?

    I don’t recall this and wonder how many years the sub-title ran after 1950. I used to like this beer, circa-1970 it was very creditable and this isn’t just a relative statement, so was Coors, so was (especially) Michelob. Stone IPA they weren’t, but they were much better than today and valid on their own terms, IMO.

    We need a beer label collector/someone born <1935 to answer this one.
