Friday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1993. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all year, and for the remainder of December will feature holiday-themed posters of all ages. “Tuborg is a Danish brewing company founded in 1873 on a harbour in Hellerup, an area North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 1970 it has been part of the Carlsberg Group.” This was created by Wibroe & Partners (now Wibroe, Duckert & Partners) and shows an illustration of an idealized Tuborg brewhouse. The text of the poster reads “På Tuborg har vi sat et par kedler Classic mere over” which translates as “At Tuborg we have put a couple of boilers Classic over,” though I feel confident that’s close, but not quite right.

Thursday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1993. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all year, and for the remainder of December will feature holiday-themed posters of all ages. “Tuborg is a Danish brewing company founded in 1873 on a harbour in Hellerup, an area North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 1970 it has been part of the Carlsberg Group.” This was created by Wibroe & Partners (now Wibroe, Duckert & Partners) and shows Tuborg beer delivery vehicles from over the years. The text of the poster reads “Bilens historie er naesten lige så gammel som Tuborgs” which translates as “The history of the car is almost as old as Tuborgs.”

Wednesday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1998. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all year, and for the remainder of December will feature holiday-themed posters of all ages. “Tuborg is a Danish brewing company founded in 1873 on a harbour in Hellerup, an area North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 1970 it has been part of the Carlsberg Group.” This was created by Pete Wibroe, of Wibroe & Partners (now Wibroe, Duckert & Partners) and according to Tuborg’s website, this is “the iconic Tuborg Classic” poster. The text at the top, “På Fad,” on the awning after Tuborg Classic makes no sense, and is translated as “on dish.” But at the bottom right hand corner of the poster, it also reads “… lidt mere af alting” which translates as “a little more of everything.”

Tuesday’s ad is for Tuborg, from the 1990s. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all year, and for the remainder of December will feature holiday-themed posters of all ages. “Tuborg is a Danish brewing company founded in 1873 on a harbour in Hellerup, an area North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 1970 it has been part of the Carlsberg Group.” This is similar to a series of minimalist posters created that year by Wibroe & Partners (now Wibroe, Duckert & Partners) created a series of minimalist posters using just green and white in 1985 that was so popular that they continued to use the motif for several years after that. This one used similar thematic elements several years later, showing a toolbox containing several tools and a bottle of Tuborg beer. The text, “Gør livet lidt grønnere” is translated as “Make life a little greener.”

Monday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1994. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all year, and for the remainder of December will feature holiday-themed posters of all ages. “Tuborg is a Danish brewing company founded in 1873 on a harbour in Hellerup, an area North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 1970 it has been part of the Carlsberg Group.” This is the second in a series of minimalist posters created that year by Wibroe & Partners (now Wibroe, Duckert & Partners) created a series of minimalist posters using just green and white in 1985 that was so popular that they continued to use the motif for several years after that. They were known collectively as Grøn Tuborg because the text on the bottom of all of the posters read “Hvad er det … der gør livet lidt grønnere?,” which Google translates as “What is it … that makes life a little greener?” This one used similar thematic elements ten years later but appears to be for some kind of sweepstakes contest. The text, “Fa en spilleplade, hvor du køber Grøn Tuborg” is translated as “Get a playing board, where you buy Green Tuborg.”

Sunday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1985-1990. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all year, and for the remainder of December will feature holiday-themed posters of all ages. “Tuborg is a Danish brewing company founded in 1873 on a harbour in Hellerup, an area North of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 1970 it has been part of the Carlsberg Group.” This is the second in a series of minimalist posters created that year by Wibroe & Partners (now Wibroe, Duckert & Partners) using just green and white that was popular enough that 35 years later they’re still doing Tuborg’s advertising. According to what I uncovered about this ad series, it began in 1985 but was so popular it continued, with some later modifications, until by 1990 there were over 50 of them, with the best ones available to buy as a poster. The text on the bottom of all of the poster reads “Hvad er det … der gør livet lidt grønnere?,” which Google translates as “What is it … that makes life a little greener?” I found this image which seems to be for a book or possibly a portfolio you could buy, I’m not sure exactly. Seven of the fifteen posters shown I featured this month, but the rest are ones I could not find individually, which is a shame because it was a very creative and inventive campaign.
