Beer In Ads #3571: Oranjeboom Pint Bar

December 7, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, 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 Dutch artist Reyn Dirksen, who is best remembered for his travel posters of cruise ships.

Beer In Ads #3570: Oranjeboom A Royal Glass Of Beer

December 6, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from 1958. 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. The text at the boom, “‘n Vorstelijk glas bier!,” Google translates as “a royal glass of beer!””

Beer In Ads #3569: Brouweij d’Oranjeboom Rotterdam

December 5, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Saturday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from the early 20th century, certainly much later than yesterdays. 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 likewise not sure who created this brewery illustration poster.

Beer In Ads #3567: Oranjeboom Beer To Celebrate

December 3, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for Oranjeboom, from the 1950s, although it is apparently unfinished and unpublished. 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 the artist was who created this poster, though I’m sure I’ve come across similar work with pint glasses with faces like this. The text at the bottom, “om feest bij te vieren!,” Google translates as “to celebrate.”

Beer In Ads #3564: Gulpener Dort My past, Our Past: On the Future!

November 29, 2020 By Jay Brooks

Sunday’s ad is for Gulpener Dort, 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 Gulpener Bierbrouwerij, which is located in  Gulpen, Limburg, in The Netherlands. It was founded by Laurens Smeets in 1825. I’m not sure who the artist was who created this poster. The text at the top, “Mijnverleden, Ons Verleden: Op de Toekomst!,” Google translates as “My past, Our Past: On the Future!” Maybe coal mining was considered the future at that time? Otherwise, I’m not sure what mining has to with anything.
