Sunday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1974. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one plays into the burgeoning ecology movement in the 1970s with the headline “CASH for CANS” and is about beer distributor’s recycling efforts.
Saturday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1969. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one shows an idyllic mountain spring outdoor setting with the tagline “tastes refreshing, Naturally.”
Friday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1890. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one is fairly simple, just showing two bottles, one of their Export Beer and the other of Pilsener Lager Beer. The font is rather interesting, though. I wonder what that specific font might be?

Wednesday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from the 1930s. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features a woman with a beer in her hand, saying “What a mellow flavor — and how it makes one glow,” to which the ad replies “That’s Why Most Folks Say —” leading to the headline “Coors, of Course.” I love that they’re making such a big deal out of “that glowing after-effect produced by Coors Golden Beer.” And one of the reasons for that “glow” is “its full legal stimulant content.”
Tuesday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1936. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the headline “Leadership” and then proceeds to try to make the case that good leadership makes the beer taste better, sort of, at least it’s a bit of stretch to connect the two, although that seems to be the case for all of their advertising throughout the later half of the 1930s.

Sunday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1936. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the tagline “Deliciously Different,” which is “because Brewed with Coors own Private Brand Malt.” And that is still true, as I visited the valley in southwest Colorado where there are several large family farms growing barley for Coors. It was impressive. Is is noticeably different in the flavor? Doubtful.
Saturday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1937. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the tagline “As Cool—As Clean—As Refreshing,” which then Coors reveals by which they mean “As a Snow-Fed Stream High Up in the Rockies.” Um, okay.
Friday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from 1937. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one features the headline “What do you drink … the LABEL or the BEER?” and argues that you should ignore other, old, and well-known brewery names and drink their beer instead. Um, okay.
