Tuesday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1985. 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. This one features a Tuborg beer bottle cleverly hidden among the skyline seen from the window. 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?”

Monday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1985. 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.

Sunday’s ad is for Tuborg, from the 1970s, I believe, although it’s meant to look like it’s from the art nouveau period. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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.” I’m not sure what artist created this poster. The text on the bottom of the poster reads “Ta’ Dig Tid Til En Rød Tuborg,” which Google translates as “Take Time For A Red Tuborg.”

Saturday’s ad is for Tuborg, from the early 1900s, I believe. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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.” I’m not sure what artist created this poster, but there are marks in the upper left and bottom left that may be the artist’s signature. The text on the bottom of poster reads “Det var det, jeg vilde ha’e!,” which Google translates as “That’s what I wanted!.” It does, however, resemble a close-up of the Thirsty Man after he got his hands on a beer.

Friday’s ad is for Tuborg, from the early 1900s, I believe. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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.” I’m not sure what artist created this poster, but it sure is an odd idea. A presumably well-to-do couple is out for a drive in their newfangled horseless carriage when they become parched, and stopped for a drink. A waiter comes up to their car with a tray and the driver pours himself a beer, a Tuborg Pilsner. The rest of the text on the poster reads “fremad overalt,” which Google translates as “forward everywhere.” One for the road, indeed.

Thursday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1995. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 poster was created by Steffen Bloch in 1995 for the 100th anniversary of Tuborg Gold, which debuted in 1895 for the export market. The beer was also known by its nickname, “The Golden Lady,” which was the inspiration for this poster.

The most famous “Golden Lady” was Danish actress Annette Strøyberg, who worked as a model for Tuborg as the Golden Lady in the mid-1950s before she began acting in 1958.

Wednesday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1913. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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.” I wasn’t able to figure out who created this poster. The text, which reads: “Tuborg øllets fremgang gennem 25 aar” followed by “Fremgangen Skyldes
Den Ypperlige Kvalitet” translates as “Tuborg beer’s progress over 25 years” and at the bottom, “The progress, due, The Excellent Quality.” The brewery itself was founded in 1873, but this 25th anniversary in 1913 is based on something starting in 1888, possibly this specific beer?

Tuesday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1909. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 poster was created by Danish artist Rasmus Christiansen for the Danish pavilion at a European Exhibition in 1909.

Monday’s ad is for Tuborg, from 1900. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 poster was created by Danish artist Erik Henningsen, who was “best known for his Social Realist paintings of poor and exposed groups in the 1880s and 1890s.” This image became one of the most recognizable images for Danish beer. Here’s the story, from Henningsen’s Wikipedia page:

In 1900, the Tuborg Breweries announced a competition for a “decorative advertisement poster” to mark its 25 years jubilee. The first prize, which was rewarded with a sum of DKK 10,000, was taken by Jens Ferdinand Willumsen, but it was ultimately Henningsen’s entry, known as The Thirsty Man, which was put into production by the brewery. It has since obtained iconic status and become one of the most immediately recognizable posters in Denmark.
