Beer In Ads #3292: Brasserie Greff

By

Monday’s ad is for Brasserie Greff, from 1923. 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 last year and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was created for Brasserie Greff, located in Nancy, part of the Lorraine region of France. It was founded in 1856, but stopped production due to the war in 1942, and closed for good around 1955. I don’t know who created this poster that features an idealized illustration of the brewery.

In 1942, it closed due to the Second World War, and in 1947 the owners decided against re-opening. I don’t know who created this second poster that features an idealized illustration of the brewery.
