Beer In Ads #105: Weisbrod & Hess

May 10, 2010 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is another oldie, from 1905. It’s for Weisbrod & Hess, a.k.a. Oriental Brewery of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s a complex and beautifully illustrated poster.

Beer In Ads #41: Schmidt’s Give Your Thirst A Taste Of Life

February 10, 2010 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is a 1960s one for Schmidt’s, a Philadelphia brewery. I love the tagline, “Give Your Thirst a Taste of Life ….” It looks more like they’re taking their beer for a ride on their bikes. How about those kicky Sixties fashions, especially the headband and purple sneakers.

Heady Days in the Philadelphia Inquirer

August 16, 2009 By Jay Brooks

There was an interesting look at the current state of the craft beer movement in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer by food columnist Rick Nichols. Though it’s Sam-centric, Heady Days for Craft Breweries is worth a read.
