Beer In Ads #3707: Deliciously Different

April 25, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1936. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the tagline “Deliciously Different,” which is “because Brewed with Coors own Private Brand Malt.” And that is still true, as I visited the valley in southwest Colorado where there are several large family farms growing barley for Coors. It was impressive. Is is noticeably different in the flavor? Doubtful.

Beer In Ads #3706: As Cool—As Clean—As Refreshing

April 24, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1937. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the tagline “As Cool—As Clean—As Refreshing,” which then Coors reveals by which they mean “As a Snow-Fed Stream High Up in the Rockies.” Um, okay.

Beer In Ads #3705: Do You Drink The Label Or The Beer?

April 23, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1937. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the headline “What do you drink … the LABEL or the BEER?” and argues that you should ignore other, old, and well-known brewery names and drink their beer instead. Um, okay.

Beer In Ads #3704: Coors’ Ambrosial Brilliance

April 22, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1938. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the Coors’ famous waterfall, but it’s the text in this one I love. “When your palate is keenest, the ambrosial brilliance of Coors Export Lager is most enjoyed.” Now that’s a phrase I need to start using, “ambrosial brilliance.”

Beer In Ads #3703: More Coors Confidence

April 21, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1938. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one is another “Confidence” ad, this time equating the confidence of the bridge cable maker from the steel worker’s confidence and then compares that to customers’ confidence in “Coors Export Lager.” Um, okay.

Beer In Ads #3701: A Sure Sign Of A Good Stein

April 19, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1936. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one says that seeing a “Coors on Tap” means “A Sure ‘Sign‘ of a Good Stein.” Yeah, they went there. But since I’m a pun lover, I’ll let it slide.

Beer In Ads #3700: A Case Of Coors In Christmas Dress

April 18, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1936. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one advertises special packaging for the holidays, which “Makes a Glorious Gift to Friends, Lists of Employees Or Jovial Associates.”

Beer In Ads #3699: A Privilege That Is Yours

April 17, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1938. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one compares “A Privilege that is Yours.” like “the genius and skill of a great composer.” And the other “privilege” they want to call your attention to is drink a Coors, a comparison which makes almost no sense whatsoever.

Beer In Ads #3698: Nature At Its Best

April 16, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1938. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This shows one way that “Nature at its Best,” because it made the Bonneville salt flats which turned out to be the best motor speedway,” which naturally (pun intended) leads to the creation of perfect spring water for brewing beer in the Rocky Mountains. Um, okay.

Beer In Ads #3697: Pearls Are Hard To Find

April 15, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1938. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This explores the idea that “Pearls Are Hard To Find,” and compares that to “Water Perfect For Brewing Beer,” which I guess is sort of true
