Beer In Ads #3633: Ooh, Budweiser

February 7, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1957. 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 woman holding her beer glass while an unseen person pours a bottle of beer into it as she looks up at him, or possibly the beer, with an expression on wonder that seems to say “ooh.” The text begins “By the Way.”

Beer In Ads #3632: Relaxing With Budweiser

February 6, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1959. 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 man in a terrible hat and shirt combination relaxing in a comfy chair of some kind while a woman’s hand pours a bottle of beer into a glass for him as he looks up appreciably. The text begins “Relax.” And all I can think of is “Frankie Goes to Hollywood.”

Beer In Ads #3631: Wear A Mask With Budweiser

February 5, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1958. 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 woman in black leather gloves and holding a mask while an unseen hand pours a can of beer into a glass she’s holding. The text begins “Who Needs Disguises?”

Beer In Ads #3630: Budweiser With Cheese & Crackers

February 4, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1961. 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 woman at a restaurant, or maybe it’s a bar, smiling as the waiter or waitress pours a beer into a glass she’s holding. Behind her on the table is a spread of cheese and crackers, along with charcuterie. I’m also pretty sure she’s holding a potato chip in her hand. The text begins “Ever Taken.”

Beer In Ads #3629: Cuddling With Budweiser

February 3, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1958. 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 outdoors, I think leaning against a tree trunk, and cuddling, as the man pours a can of beer into a mug she’s holding. She’s looking back at him rather mischievously, but she really should be keeping an eye on the beer. It’s about spill over and that will definitely spoil the mood. The text begins “Keep It A Secret,” so maybe it’s more canoodling than mere cuddling after all.

Beer In Ads #3628: Budweiser And Birthday Candles

February 2, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1958. 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 man about to blow out the candles his birthday cake while a woman out of sight pours him a glass of beer. And I know I shouldn’t be focused on this, but what the hell is that weird, abstract background supposed to be? The text begins “Bright Idea.”

Beer In Ads #3627: No Commercial Budweiser

February 1, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1959. 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 woman wrapping Christmas presents while someone out of sight pours her a glass of beer. The text begins “No Commercial,” suggesting this ad is trying to not be an ad. I think it failed.

Beer In Ads #3626: Budweiser Threesome

January 31, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1958. 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 standing very close together, perhaps at a crowded bar or maybe they just really like each other, while in between them another woman, who’s either much taller or perhaps the couple is actually sitting, it’s hard to tell. She’s pouring a glass of beer from a can while the couple stares into one another’s eyes seemingly ignoring the beer being poured. The text begins “Next Time.”

Beer In Ads #3625: Budweiser In The Kiddie Pool

January 30, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1958. 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 man wearing a goofy hat like an old frat boy who appears to be sitting in a kiddie pool. He’s pouring himself a mug of beer from a can and wearing a smile that seems to say “I’ve had too many already.” The text begins “Who’s Thirsty?”

Beer In Ads #3624: Budweiser On The Piano

January 29, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1959. 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 woman tickling the ivories as she look up at an unseen person pouring her glass of beer from a can. I hope he doesn’t spill any on the piano. There’s nothing worse than sticky keys. The text begins “Harmony.”
