Beer In Ads #3581: Gil Elvgren For Oranjeboom

December 18, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for Oranjeboom Beer, from 1950. 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 created for Oranjeboom Bierbrouwerij, which was founded in 1671 in Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. The brewery was moved to Breda, in the southern part of the country, in 1990, and went through a series of new owners before the brewery was subsequently sold to Interbrew (now AB-InBev) in 1995, who closed it in 2004. United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. This poster was created by American pin-up artist Gil Elvgren, who was one of the more well-known commercial illustrators of his day.

Wednesday’s ad is for Super Oranjeboom Bier, from 1962. 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.

United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. I’m not sure who created this poster.

Beer In Ads #3579: Oranjeboom Queen’s Beer

December 15, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for Oranjeboom Queen’s Beer, from the 1950s. 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 created for Oranjeboom Bierbrouwerij, which was founded in 1671 in Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. The brewery was moved to Breda, in the southern part of the country, in 1990, and went through a series of new owners before the brewery was subsequently sold to Interbrew (now AB-InBev) in 1995, who closed it in 2004. United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. I’m not sure who created this poster. Apparently, Queen’s Beer was a secondary brand of the Oranjeboom brewery.

Beer In Ads #3578: Oranjeboom Almost As Famous As The Windmills Of Holland

December 15, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from maybe the 1970s.

December 13, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from the 1930s or 40s. 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 created for Oranjeboom Bierbrouwerij, which was founded in 1671 in Rotterdam, in The Netherlands.

United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. I’m not sure who created this poster. The text at the bottom, “‘n Vorshelyk Glas bier!,” Google translates as “A delicious glass of beer!”

Saturday’s ad is for Oranjeboom’s Flying Dutchman, from the 1950s. 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.

United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. I’m not sure who created this poster. Flying Dutchman was apparently another brand of the Oranjeboom brewery.

Beer In Ads #3575: Oranjeboom Ideeal Syphon

December 11, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from the 1950s. 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 created for Oranjeboom Bierbrouwerij, which was founded in 1671 in Rotterdam, in The Netherlands.

United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. I’m not sure who created this poster. The text at the bottom, “Ideaal-Syphon geeft u vele glazen ideaal schuimend bier,” Google translates as “Ideal Siphon gives you many glasses of ideal foamy beer.” So I imagine it’s a type of mini-keg.

Beer In Ads #3572: Oranjeboom Royal Glass Man

December 8, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from 1960 or 61. 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 created for Oranjeboom Bierbrouwerij, which was founded in 1671 in Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. The brewery was moved to Breda, in the southern part of the country, in 1990, and went through a series of new owners before the brewery was subsequently sold to Interbrew (now AB-InBev) in 1995, who closed it in 2004. United Dutch Breweries continues to brew and sell the brand outside the Benelux countries, I believe. I’m not sure who created this poster but the artist’s name begins with an “S,” I believe, though I can’t make out any more. The text at the bottom, “‘n Vorstelijk glas bier,” Google translates as “A royal glass of beer.”

And below is another image of the same poster.

Rectangular billboard with image of a man holding up a glass of beer and caption "Oranjeboom 'n Regal glass of beer"
