Tuesday’s ad is for Grain Belt, from — I’m just guessing here — some time in the 1970s, based on the fashion, or lack thereof. I love the mock posing as each holds a different package, a regular bottle, a can and a stubbie.
Beer In Ads #705: Every Fourth Bottle Goes Overseas
Monday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1945. Apparently, one in four bottles of Schlitz brewed was sent overseas for the troops at this point in the war, which was the last year before it ended.
Beer In Ads #704: Miss Rheingold Duck Hunting On A Boat
Friday’s ad is for Miss Rheingold for 1958, Madelyn Darrow, showing her in a boat on a lake, duck hunting. I’m not sure how her dog is going to be much help.
Beer In Ads #703: Hackerbrau
Thursday’s ad if for the German beer Hackerbrau, which is the Hacker in Hacker-Pschorr. The ad is from around 1920, long before they merged again in 1972. The ad was illustrated by Ludwig Hohlwein , who did a number of beer ads during the same period of time.
Beer In Ads #702: No Deposit, No Sediment
Wednesday’s ad makes quite some bold claims. It appears to be a 19th century ad for the newly modernized Notting Hill Brewery Co., which had just started a “revolution in English Bottled Beer Produced Entirely on a New System.” I especially love the twin banners, that don’t quite seem to work together: “No Deposit” and “No Sediment.”
Beer In Ads #701: Wonderful Beer
Tuesday’s ad is again for Drewery’s, and I believe it’s probably a still from an animated television commercial. It has the stylized look of the animation from that period of time. It must have been a fun commercial.
Beer In Ads #700: Reinheitsgebot Replica
Monday’s ad is the 700th ad in this series! So I wanted to make it something special. This is a replica poster of the original 1516 Reinheitsgebot, one of history’s best marketing gimmicks. I’m not sure who it was created to promote, but it’s still a pretty cool piece of breweriana. Happy 700th.
Beer In Ads #699: Still More Flavor, Less Filling, More Fun!
Friday’s ad is again from perhaps the 1950s, a third one for the Indiana brewery Drewerys. It uses the slogan “more flavor, less filling, more fun!” THis one has a third different model making faces to express each idea. Hilarious, that’s Big D. Yet again.
Beer In Ads #698: More More Flavor, Less Filling, More Fun!
Thursday’s ad is from perhaps the 1950s, another one for the Indiana brewery Drewerys. It also uses the slogan “more flavor, less filling, more fun!” THis one has a different model making faces to express each idea. Hilarious, that’s Big D. Again.
Beer In Ads #697: Compare The Real Ale Flavor Of This Genuine Ale
Wednesday’s ad is again possibly from the 1950s, and is another ad for the Indiana brewery Drewerys. This one features a Canadian Mountie and the following confusing tagline. “Canada’s Pride Brand Since 1877 … A Product of U.S.A.”
