Beer In Ads #2862: Birra Oea

January 2, 2019 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Birra Oea, from 1927. From the late 1800s until the 1930s, 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 Birra Oea, which was a brewery in Tripoli, in Libya. It was created by Italian illustrator and painter Mario Bazzi
