Beer In Ads #877: The Goodness Of Malt Goes Far Beyond Delicious Flavor
Wednesday’s ad is for the Barley and Malt Institute, from 1959. This is the third ad I have from the now defunct trade group for barley growers. In this one a man is being delivered actual beer while watching beer on television. How meta. I love the expression on his face. According to the ad, “The goodness of Malt goes far beyond delicious flavor.” Beyond “Fun Flavor,” “malt renews your energy” and also has “important B-complex vitamins.”
Glassware By Beer Style
Today’s infographic is a poster of the most common glassware for beer, with a list of styles below each glass that whoever created the poster believes would work best with each one. I’m not sure I agree with every choice, but at least some styles are listed with multiple glassware. That suggests that none of this is written in stone, which we all know, of course.
Beer In Ads #876: I’m Guarding That Gold—Rheingold
Tuesday’s ad is for Rheingold, from 1956. The ad features actor Gregory Peck in Western setting, driving a Wells Fargo wagon. But the joke is he’s guarding liquid gold, in this case Rheingold beer.
Bottoms Up
Today’s infographic is another look at how to pour a glass of beer, created by Lee Hultang, and apparently he based it on information from Beer Advocate. It originally ran in a story in the Montreal Gazette in 2008.
Beer In Ads #875: Pabst Fish Fry
Monday’s ad is for Pabst Blue Ribbon, from 1954. It’s from their “What’ll You Have” series,and this one shows three recently caught fish frying in a pan on the grill. Is is me or is that bucket of ice that the beer is cooling in a little close to the flame? That ice is going to melt pretty quickly.
Anatomy Of A Hangover
What’s Wrong With My Beer?
Today’s infographic is another one from CraftBeer.com, the Brewers Associations consumer website. This one, an article entitled When Craft Beer Goes Bad, was penned by Andy Sparhawk, and included this infographic showing common beer defects and their possible cause.
How To Pour A Pint
Today’s infographic is a How To Pour A Pint, and was created by cartoonist Emily Sauter whose Pints and Panels includes her great cartoon beer reviews. The infographic below was used in a Bay Area Craft Beer post, So You Want to Have Craft Beer at Your Wedding, by John Heylin. Sauter provided the illustrations.
Beer In Ads #874: Satisfies Your Thirst For Something Better
Friday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1956. The scene shows two couples drinking some beer and making sweet music. I love the expression on the harmonica player’s face, but it’s the accordion that signals just what a hopping party it must have been.
