Wednesday’s ad is for Trinkt Sternenberg Bier, from 1907. 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 Actien-Brauerei Zum Sternenberg, in Sternenberg, Switzerland, located in the Canton of Zürich. The artist who created the poster was Swiss painter Burkhard Mangold, and it was printed by Wassermann & Schäublin of Basel.

Monday’s ad is for Brasserie de Delémont, from around 1900. 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 de Delémont, in Delémont, Switzerland, which was founded in 1900 by Albert Gürtler. In 1907 it became the Jura Brewery and in 1964 the Warteck Brewery. I’m not sure when the brewery closed but by 2008 they were growing commercial mushrooms in one of the brewery buildings, and the following year converted some of the buildings to a luxury hotel. In 2015, the Brasserie Blanche Pierre, or White Stone Brewery opened in Delémont, and I’m not sure who they’re related but it appears they are somehow affiliated with their predecessor. I’m not sure who the artist is who created the poster, but it was printed by Orell Füssli, in Zürich.

Sunday’s ad is for Brasserie du Cardinal, from 1969. 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 du Cardinal, in Fribourg, Switzerland, which was founded in 1788 by François Piller. In 1991 (though one source says 1996), it was acquired by Feldschlösschen, which is owned by the Carlsberg Group. This is a later poster created by husband and wife design team Gabriel and Anne Humair, and although it’s simpler than a lot of the earlier posters, it still seems very effective, to me, and merges the new with the old.

Friday’s ad is for Zähringer Bock, from 1910. 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 du Cardinal, in Fribourg, Switzerland, which was founded in 1788 by François Piller. In 1991 (though one source says 1996), it was acquired by Feldschlösschen, which is owned by the Carlsberg Group. I have no idea who the artist was who created it, but the name of the beer is interesting. “Berthold IV Von Zähringer was the founder of the city of Fribourg in Switzerland in 1157.”

Thursday’s ad is for Feldschlösschen Bock, from 1940. 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 the Brauerei Feldschlösschen, in Rheinfelden, Switzerland, which was founded in 1876 as the Wüthrich & Roniger Brewery. In 1890, the company was reorganized and renamed Feldschlösschen. Apparently, the brewery is in the shape of a castle and Feldschlösschen means ‘small castle in the fields’ in German.” Today, the brewery is owned by the Carlsberg Group. The artist who created this poster was named Koller, and one source claims it was Rudolf Koller, a Swiss fine artist, but given that he died in 1905, I don’t see how that’s possible, and it must have been another artist named Koller.

Wednesday’s ad is for Luzern Bockbier, from 1935. 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 the Vereinigte Brauereien Luzern, or the United Breweries Lucerne, in Switzerland, which was formed in 1922 by the merger of two local breweries and in 1937 was renamed the Lucerne Brewery Eichhof, and in 1960 shortened again to Brewery Eichhof. Since 2008, it has been part of Heineken. I don’t know who the artist was that created the poster.
