Beer In Ads #3586: Amos Hundred Years Of Health

December 22, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for Biere de la Brasserie Amos, from 1960. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 was created for Brasserie Amos, which was founded in 1868 in Metz, in the department of Moselle, which is located in the Lorraine region of Eastern France. The brewery was founded by Gustave Amos, and remained in the Amos family until 1988, when it was sold to the German company Karlsberg, which is known as Karlsbräu outside of Germany to avoid confusion with the Danish Carlsberg. They closed the brewery in 1993, but continue to brew the beer at one of their other breweries, Brasserie Licorne, located in the Alsace. The text at the bottom, “Cent Ans De Santé,” Google translates as “Hundred Years Of Health.” This poster was created by French artist Raymond Gay.

The poster also sometimes appears with a lighter blue background.

Monday’s ad is for Biere de la Brasserie Amos, from 1962.

And here’s another version of the poster as a sign:

Beer In Ads #3447: Bière Phénix Cyclists

August 22, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’s ad is for Bière Phénix, from the 1920s. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all last year and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was created for Brasserie du Phénix, which was founded in 1886 in Marseille, which is located in the Bouches-du-Rhône area in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of southern France. A brewery had been on the same site since 1821, and a new one was rebuilt in 1872, and 14 years later it was bought by a new owner, who called it the Brasserie et Malterie du Phénix. They later changed their name to the Brasserie de la Valentine, and today it is owned by the Heineken Group. This poster was created by German artist Adolfo Hohenstein.

Beer In Ads #3444: Bière Phénix Calendar

August 19, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for Bière Phénix, from the early part of the 20th century, probably before 1935, but the image us too small to read the year of this calendar. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all last year and will continue to do so in 2020.

They later changed their name to the Brasserie de la Valentine, and today it is owned by the Heineken Group. This was a promotional calendar they apparently did annually for a time, and I’m not sure when this one is from. I don’t know who the artist is who created this poster.
