Beer In Ads #3263: Adelshoffen La Bière Fine d’Alsace

February 18, 2020 By Jay Brooks

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

Tuesday’s ad is for Adelshoffen La Bière Fine d’Alsace, from the early 20th century. 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 for Brasserie Adelshoffen. Adelshoffen was a brewery in the village of Adelshoffen, in the Alsace region of France. It was founded in 1864, but closed in 2000. Today, its flagship brand, Adelscott, is owned by the Heineken group. I unfortunately do not know who created the poster.

Friday’s ad is for Grande Brasserie d’Arcueil, from 1910. 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 for Grande Brasserie d’Arcueil, which was presumably a brewery in Arcueil, “a commune in the Val-de-Marne region in the southern suburbs of Paris, France.” The poster was created by French artist Eugène Ogé.

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

Thursday’s ad is for La Biere Schneider Allary, from 1900. 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 for La Biere Schneider Allary, although I don’t know much about who exactly the advertising is for, or who the artist was who created the poster. The text reads “Je vous Conseille Amicalement de ne Boire que de La Biere Schneider Allary” which Google translates as “I kindly advise you to drink only Schneider Allary Beer.”

Wednesday’s ad is for a Brasserie Gruber & Cie, from 1898. 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 Brasserie Gruber & Cie of Melun, which “is a French commune located in Seine-et-Marne in the region Île-de-France.” It was founded in 1888 and continued until 1943. After World War II, it continued to brew beer under a variety of trade names, before closing for good in 1985. The name of the artist is on the poster in the bottom right hand corner, but I can’t quite make it out. It looks sort of like Finney Eomissel, but I know that’s not right.

Beer In Ads #3256: Wissembourg Beer Jester

February 11, 2020 By Jay Brooks

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

Tuesday’s ad is for a Wissembourg Beer Jester, or King, from 1880. 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 part of a series in which “[t]he joyful King celebrates the German way — with beer, of course!” One auction site describes the series as follows. “This poster was created by the C. Burckardt printing firm, and is part of a larger series of posters that were produced during the 1880s and 1890s. The company was based in the Alsatian town of Wissembourg, along the French border with Germany, and was also known for their cutout puppets, puzzles for children, educational charts, and religious depictions. These posters were created during a time that the Alsace region belonged to Germany, when the town was still called Weissenburg. All posters in this series have been printed via stone lithography, in multiple panels.” They claim he’s a king, but his grin says jester, to me.

Wednesday’s ad is for Leurs Bieres Sodibo Gold Mohur Imperial Hawk, from 1928. 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. I’m not sure exactly what this poster was meant to advertise or what the name of the brewery, although I think the beer’s name was Gold Mohur Imperial Hawk. It was created by French artist Le Maire.

Tuesday’s ad is for Buvez Les Bières De Garde, from 1930. 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 the Brasserie de la Arnould Mochez, located in France. It was founded around 1821, changed locations at least twice, and ceased operations for good in 1940. I’ve been unable to find information about the artist.
