Beer In Ads #3603: Budweiser With Cheese

January 8, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1961. This poster 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 features Budweiser with a plate of cheeses. He’s also got some salami and a bowl of something, though I can’t quite make out what’s in it. Although the text includes my new favorite quote. “Who enjoys food more than a man who drinks beer!”

Beer In Ads #3602: Budweiser With A Steak Dinner

January 7, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1960. This poster 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 features Budweiser with a steak dinner and a freshly pouring beer. His expression, like yesterday’s, just seems so over the top. Does anyone ever really look like that while watching their beer being poured?

Beer In Ads #3601: Budweiser With A Steak

January 6, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1959. This poster 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 features Budweiser with a steak being grilled on what looks like an outdoor porch. The woman reaching for a beer has a very odd expression on her face. What exactly is she trying to say?
