Beer In Ads #3219: Here The Snow Falls

December 26, 2019 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s Christmas ad is for Tuborg, from fairly recently. 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. This poster was created for Tuborg’s Christmas beer, Julebryg, which they release each year on the first Friday in November. To my delight, they call the release date “J-Dag” or “J-Day.” For a number of years, they’ve used the same cartoon imagery and personalities in the ads, and seem to have a lot of fun with them. This one is from this year. The text reads: “Ding-ding-diiing… Ding-ding-diiing… Her falder sneen,” which translates as “Ding-ding-diiing… Ding-ding-diiing… Here the snow falls.”

Monday’s Christmas Eve Eve ad is for Tuborg, from fairly recently. 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.

This one is from 2015. The text reads: “Vind 30,000 kroner i Danmarks Største Pakkeleg,” which translates as “Win 30,000 kroner in Denmark’s Biggest Package.” I assume whatever year this was from there was a contest of some sort, especially since there’s a QR code on the bottle.

Beer In Ads #3210: Oktoberfest Poster Finalists

December 17, 2019 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for the Munich Oktoberfest, from recent years, though none are the official poster for those years. These are all second or third place winners from 2010 and a number that were entered but did not place in the top three in 2017. 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. This poster is for the Munich Oktoberfest, which began September 21 and runs through October 6. Originally I thought from now until then I’d post posters from the German folk festival, but now that Oktoberfest is over I think I’ll just keep going. From what I can tell, official Oktoberfest posters started being produced each year beginning in 1952. This will be the final Oktoberfest poster post.
