Today’s infographic is an oldie but goodie, a poster of beer bottles from 1976. It gives you a good idea of how bad the beer scene was back then. The poster is one of the hidden gems from Jess Kidden‘s breweriana treasure trove.

What a difference 37 yrs makes! God knows how many of the brews on that poster have gone to beer “limbo”; how many would a beer geek even deem worthy of consideration to drink now (given that 99% of us got our starts drinking some kind of macro/local lager/pils that we now “dis”)? Beer geeks have the “try anything once” mentality, as long as the style matches their preferences.
Jess Kidden – thanx for sharing a nice piece of “breweriana”!;
My 84 year old barber has this poster on the door in his one chair barbershop. He got it from the beer distributor who was delivering beer in the bar next door to his barber shop. I’ve seen this great poster at every haircut for the last 20 years.
