Beer In Ads #1118: Hot Off The Grill
Sunday’s ad is for Schlitz, from the 1950s, probably. This is just the illustration for the ad, with the woman delivering four freshly-opened bottles of Schlitz with four glasses on a tray. What a hostess! It looks like they;re going to have quite a nice barbecue. I’m getting hungry — and thirsty — just looking at it.
Beer In Film #61: American Eats’ History of Beer, Pt. 3 Of 5

Beer In Ads #1117: Hackerbrau
Saturday’s ad is for Hackerbrau, from the 1920s. Hacker used to be one of the big Munich breweries but merged with Pschorrbräu in 1972 to become the Hacker-Pschorr Brewery. This ad has a decidedly travel adventure in Africa feel to it, and looks like the artistic poster art of that time period.

Beer In Ads #1116: G-Uinness
Friday’s ad is for Guinness, from the 1950s or possibly early 60s. It’s a very minimalist ad, but I love how animated the artist made the “G” and how much it conveys with just a few black lines.

Beer In Ads #1115: So Sparkling Clear?
Thursday’s ad is for Miller High Life, from 1961. After the Sochi Olympics, a little skiing just made sense. This was, I believe, before Miller started using the Tetra hop that is resistant to getting lightstruck. So who knows how this beer would have tasted coming off the slopes.
Beer In Film #58: A Chat With Ron Pattinson
Today’s beer video is a short interview of beer historian Ron Pattinson, the description for which reads. “Ron talks old beers with Bocky whilst sitting next to a very bad gnome. Find out about the latest Once Upon A Time Beers as well as Ron’s pursuit of the truth about porters.”
Anna Kendrick: Actress, Beer Lover
Maybe it was starring in Drinking Buddies, or doing a recent non-Super Bowl ad for Newcastle Brown Ale, but actress Anna Kendrick loves her beer. The actress, who’s best known for her roles in Up in the Air, Pitch Perfect and the Twilight film series, admitted her love of beer in a recent interview. Having done two musicals recently, and now working on the Pitch Perfect sequel, she’s done with singing for the very understandable reason that’s she’d rather drink beer, and apparently it’s one or the other: singing or beer. Easy decision. Here’s what Perez Hilton is reporting she said.
I never want to sing again, honestly. It’s hard as fuck. The Pitch Perfect [sequel] is going to be fine, ten girls have to be able to sing the songs so it’s going to be fine, but doing The Last Five Years and then Into the Woods straight away, I was like, I don’t want to have to think about my voice so much. I want to be able to drink beer whenever I want.
I’ll drink to that.
