Beer In Ads #2896: Biere Titan

February 5, 2019 By Jay Brooks

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

Tuesday’s ad is for Biere Titan, from 1933-34, though some sources say it’s 1926. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, 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 Grandes Brasseries de Jarny et Uckange, which was located in the Moselle region of Eastern France. The company was created in 1926 by the merger of two breweries. The poster was created by Dutch artist Gabrielle Favre.

The poster was created by Swiss artist Marc-Auguste Bastard.

The brewery was open until 1985, when the old brewery became what is known today as the Musée Francais de la Brasserie, or French Brewery Museum. The poster was created by French artist Marcellin Auzolle.

Monday’s ad is for La Perle, from 1919.
