Today is Labor Day, not only in the U.S., but in Canada, as well. So today’s infographic is entitled Beer: Canada’s Drink of Summer, and was created by Molson Canadian. Naturally it focuses on Molson’s beer, but also includes some overall statistics about beer in Canada.

Today is beginning of Italy’s Joust of the Saracen, so our infographic covers Italian Craft Beer, showing the kinds of beers they’re making.
Friday’s ad is for Three Horse Ale, from 1884. The beer was produced by the Long Island Brewery, and that’s about all I know about it.
Today’s infographic shows The Decline of Pubs in the UK, showing data from 2002 to 2011, along with suggestions how you can help reverse the trend. It was created by Business4Sale, a UK website.

Thursday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1974, when they were still using the globe with the Schlitz buckle on it. Still, I can’t help but wonder what the heck a “Gusto life” might be? But apparently it involves sailboats.
Today’s infographic provides “3 Reasons to Drink Beer From A Glass,” and while I could probably come up with a few more, it’s a good solid list, which is why I’m always the asshole wherever I go who insists on a glass, even if everybody else is drinking straight from the bottle or can.

Wednesday’s ad is for Schlitz Malt Liquor, from — guessing by the pull-tab — around the 1960s or early 70s. The bull logo and the skirt design around the bottom look positively Aztec. But the bull in the ad, he just looks mad.
Today’s infographic is a series of them done for a Spanish brewery, Cervesa Moritz. Today is also the beginning of La Tomatina, which takes place each year on the last Wednesday of August in Bunol, Spain. La Tomatina is essentially the world’s biggest food fight, so it seemed the perfect day to feature posters from Spain. They were created by Brands & Roses, a Spanish ad agency in 2011. A total of six were apparently done, and there are three shown below. You can see more of the project at Relaja Elcoco.

Tuesday’s ad is for Grain Belt, from 1953. According to the ad, Grain Belt is “America’s Party Beer.” But my favorite part of the ad copy is that Grain Belt is also a “friendly” beer, a term common in 1950s advertising. So if you want to have a kick ass party, you’ll need “the friendly Beer with the friendly flavor.”
For a number of years, Whole Foods Market has carried a decent selection of craft beer and better imports, and has been steadily increasing their commitment to good beer. They have an especially decent selection for a national chain. Last week, they announced that they were taking it one step father, and opening a “6,000-square-foot, two-story craft beer brewery and tap room,” according to a story in the Silicon Valley Business Journal. This will be their first grocery store to include a brewery. The 27,291-square-foot grocery store where the brewery will occupy the rooftop, will be located at 700 The Alameda in San Jose. The company broke ground on Wednesday, and expects to include “a wall for growing hops.” The San Jose Whole Foods & Brewery is expected to open in the summer of 2014.
