Today’s infographic is a Venn Diagram showing the basic divisions in beer styles, created by A Drinker’s Guide to Beer. I might have preferred “hybrid styles” to “mixed,” but it’s an interesting way to show that some varieties are neither an ale or a lager, but share elements of both.

Tuesday’s ad is for Wm. J. Lemp Brewing Co. of St. Louis, Missouri, from who knows when. It looks old, but it also looks like it could be designed to look old, too. Once upon a time it was a very strong brand in Missouri, but they didn’t survive Prohibition, though they tried reviving it in 1939, then Falstaff bought it and it’s now owned privately by an individual from St. Louis, who was brewing it under contract at Stevens Point Brewing.
Today’s infographic, entitled Surprisingly Delicious Duos shows ten beer and cheese pairing suggestions, though I don’t know its origin or who made the pairings.
Monday’s ad is for Ballantine, from 1953. Don’t you miss the days taking the horse and sleigh out to the pond and cutting off some slabs of ice to keep your beer cold? Yeah, me neither.

Friday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1962. The ad depicts a holiday dinner party, but I especially like the goofy expression on the woman in yellow dress staring at the man pouring himself a beer, as she’s about to shove some food in her mouth. Also, I love the ad copy copy from this period, using emotional adjectives to describe flavor and tastes. In this case, Budweiser tastes “cheerful.” I wonder what that tastes like?

Thursday’s ad is for Budweiser, from the not terribly distant time of 1990. But it’s a great retro-looking ad harkening back to a simpler time, and it certainly makes me wish for snow. Is that Santa driving the eight non-so-tiny clydesdales?
