Beer In Ads #3642: Budweiser After The Show

February 17, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from the early 1960s. This ad was made for Anheuser-Busch, and was part of their series using the tagline “this calls for Budweiser,” which ran during the 1960s, and replaced the earlier “Where there’s Bud” campaign. This one features two couples having a late supper of burgers and beer, presumably having just seen a movie or theatre performance. Why do I presume that? The text begins “after the show….”

Beer In Ads #3641: Budweiser, This Calls For Getting Away From It All

February 16, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from the early 1960s. This ad was made for Anheuser-Busch, and was part of their series using the tagline “this calls for Budweiser,” which ran during the 1960s, and replaced the earlier “Where there’s Bud” campaign. This one features a least three dudes in flannel shirts smoking and drinking beer by a roaring fire, presumably in a cabin in the woods. I assume even the dog is a male. The text begins “away from it all….”

Beer In Ads #3636: Budweiser, This Calls For An Open House

February 11, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from the early 1960s. This ad was made for Anheuser-Busch, and was part of their series using the tagline “this calls for Budweiser,” which ran during the 1960s, and replaced the earlier “Where there’s Bud” campaign. This one features an open house dinner party with one couple on the right in conversation and man in the background who’s nose deep in a glass of beer as he reads the back of an album. But my favorite is the woman in yellow who’s just putting a cracker in her mouth as she stares at the man pouring a can of beer in his glass. The text begins “open house….”

The text begins “big appetite….”

February 9, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1957.

Beer In Ads #3634: The Story With Budweiser

February 8, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1960. This ad was made for Anheuser-Busch, and was part of their series using the tagline. “Where there’s Life … there’s Bud,” which ran from the 1950s into the 1960s, and this one features a couple lying on the floor as the man pours a bottle of beer into her beer glass as she watches intently with both of her hands on either side of the glass, as if she’s waiting to snatch it. The text begins “The Story.” Odder still, if you look closer at the book on the floor, there’s just one word printed on the spine: “Story.” What the hell kind of book is that? It’s a little off-center, so maybe the shag carpet is obscuring the beginning of it, so perhaps it could be “History.” Still, it seems weird that there’s no other information whatsoever on the spine. And this scene with it lighting that glows doesn’t exactly look like a study session, does it?
