Beer In Ads #2862: Birra Oea

January 2, 2019 By Jay Brooks Leave a Comment


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
