Beer In Ads #1056: The Ballantine Snowman

December 30, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is another one for Ballantine Ale, from 1947. This one also uses their standard layout from that time period, and features an awesome snowman holding a beer. I have an original of this ad framed in my office; it’s a favorite.

Beer In Ads #1055: The Ballantine Sleigh

December 29, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for Ballantine Ale, from 1949. One of their standard layouts from this time period, this one shows a winter time sleigh being loaded into it. I bet their not going to grandmother’s house.

Beer Flavor Triangle

December 29, 2013 By Jay Brooks

beer-triangle
Today’s infographic is a beer flavor triangle from, of all places, Betty Crocker’s Beer 101: The Basics. It’s interesting way to break down the basic flavors in beer, from the triumvirate of malt, hops and yeast.

Beer In Ads #1054: Budweiser Frost

December 28, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is also for Budweiser, from 1956. Showing a couple through a frosted window, it’s as though someone had used a towel to clear the middle so we could see the scene. As the man pours a beer for his lady, she’s looking so intently at the glass it’s as if her life somehow depended on a perfect pour.

Beer In Ads #1053: Good Living

December 27, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1947. Showing a tasty looking spread of meats and cheeses, the only thing missing is some more flavorful beers to pair with them. Still, it’s interesting to see a beer company before 1950 suggesting cheese to eat with beer.

A Guide To Craft Beer Marketing Infographic

December 27, 2013 By Jay Brooks

marketing
Today’s infographic is the ^ Bootstrapper’s Guide to Craft Beer Marketing, created by Craig Tommola of 36 Squares, although I found it on Pinterest where a Marta S M claimed its authorship. Whoever made it, it’s an interesting look at brand marketing.
