Thursday’s ad is for “Grande Brasserie Mapataud,” from maybe the early 1920s or 30s. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster was made for Brasserie Bertrand-Mapataud in Limoges, which is in central France. It was founded in 1765. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find out any more information about the French brewery. I’m not sure who created this poster of the brewery, and I wish I could find a larger image of it because I love that it appears to be showing a large floating pint of beer, with centaurs with wings flying around it, hand-in-hand, like it was a maypole.

Tuesday’s ad is for Biere de la Brasserie Amos, a.k.a. the G. Amos Brauerei, from late 1800s.

The brewery was founded by Gustave Amos, and remained in the Amos family until 1988, when it was sold to the German company Karlsberg, which is known as Karlsbräu outside of Germany to avoid confusion with the Danish Carlsberg. They closed the brewery in 1993, but continue to brew the beer at one of their other breweries, Brasserie Licorne, located in the Alsace. I’m not sure who created this poster.

The poster also sometimes appears with a lighter blue background.
