August 2, 2019 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for Bierbrauerei Falken Schaffhausen, from 1928. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 was made for the Bierbrauerei Falken Schaffhausen, or Falcon Brewery, of Schaffhausen , Switzerland. The brewery was founded in 1799, and is still in business today, and is “considered the only independent brewery in the Schaffhausen region,” and is Switzerland’s 5th largest brewery. This one is for their Weihnachts-Bock, or Christmas Bock, and shows two rams butting heads in front of a giant candle whose glow spells out Weihnachts-Bock. It was created by Swiss artist Arnold Oechslin.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 3993724870_6a0224e391.jpg

Sunday’s ad is for Swiss Beer, from 1976. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This series of posters were made to promote Swiss beer by the Swiss Brewery Association. Three posters using the same artwork but with slightly different taglines in three different languages, as detailed below, all having something to do with beer being a natural beverage and the three main ingredients. They were created by Swiss artist Erich Hörner.

Natural-Beer-1976-French
French: La bière, boisson naturelle, which translates as “Beer, a natural drink.”
Natural-Beer-1976-Italian
Italian: Birra: La natura tre volte, which translates as “Beer: Nature three times.”
Natural-Beer-1976-German
German: Im Bier ist die Natur zu dritt, which translates as “In beer, nature is a threesome.”

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 3993724870_6a0224e391.jpg

Thursday’s ad is for World Champion of the Thirst Quencher, from 1962. At least that’s the title given to it on the Swiss Poster Museum’s website. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, 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 was made to promote Swiss beer by the Swiss Brewery Association. It was created by Swiss artist Paul Trauffer.

Paul-Trauffer-1962-bier

The text of the poster on the glass is “Le Monde Entier En Boit,” which Google translates as “The Whole World Drinks.” I personally like the other translation a little better, although that may be because there was another poster using the same image but with different text. I could only find a small image of it, but you see the text is different, although I can’t quite make it out.
