Beer In Ads #3012: Birra Bosio & Caratsch

June 2, 2019 By Jay Brooks

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 3993724870_6a0224e391.jpg

Sunday’s ad is for Birra Pedavena, from 1936. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Bosio & Caratsch, founded in Turn, Italy in 1845, making it Italy’s first brewery. The poster was created by Bulgarian artist Nikolay Diulgheroff.
