Guinness Ad #16: Horsing Around

May 1, 2010 By Jay Brooks

Our sixteenth Guinness poster by John Gilroy is a “Guinness For Strength” one, with a farmer, who’s presumably just down a Guinness, is pulling the horse cart while the horse rides in the cart, looking very satisfied.

    Is it possible that this is a reference to Budweiser, due to the Clydesdale type of horse in the cart?
