Wednesday’s ad is for also for Schlitz, from 1953. It’s a more low key Schlitzerland ad, showing a cocktail party under way. With the tagline in the bottom lefthand corner — “Life is Wonderful in Schlitzerland, U.S.A.” — even the dogs and cats are happy.
Today’s infographic is a simple chart of when is the best time to brew certain types of beer, as suggested by Barley & Vine, a homebrew store near Atlanta, Georgia.

Tuesday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1957. Furthering their murdering of the English language in Schlitzerland, shake hands with your “Schlitzsaler,” the man who sells the beer. “A man in your community you should know” indeed.

Monday’s ad is for Pete’s Wicked Summer Ale, from 2001. Since it’s opening day for the 2013 baseball season, I thought a baseball-themed ad seemed topical for today, and this one also includes former Playboy playmate Crista Nicole, who was the centerfold in May of that same year.
Today’s infographic is from Save on Brew showing the MLB Stadium Beer Price Breakdown. Although it’s from 2012, the prices are probably similar, even if they’ve likely gone up a bit. But since it’s opening day for this year’s baseball season, now is a good time to start saving since the prices at games are so outrageously overpriced.

Today’s infographic is entitled The Triple Distilled Diagram of Alcohols, and was created by Pop Chart Labs, who describe their work like so:
A boozy chart of every variety of alcohol, from fermented concoctions such as beer and wine to distilled delights such as a gin and rum, this print features everything from favorites like wine and vodka to less lauded tipples such as caium and arrack, all pressed in copper metal inks.
Friday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1957. When “the fun begins at Schlitzo’clock.” The Schlitzfest ad campaign, and especially the accompany artwork, is one of my all-time favorites. I’ve even seen shirts made out of the art, but alas never in my size.
Today’s infographic is entitled 24 Things You Didn’t Know About Beer, although at first glance it’s really 23. That’s because their very first one, the Ben Franklin quote that’s been thoroughly discredited years ago, continues to show up everywhere. I’d like to believe that Franklin wouldn’t mind being credited with the quote, but unfortunately the historical record appears to be utterly void of any record he ever said it and that it’s ore likely it was an opportunistic borrowing of another statement he said in a letter to a friend about wine. It’s a shame that’s how they start out, because there’s some interesting ones that follow, even if a majority of beer geeks probably knew most, if not all of them.
