Beers

Today’s infographic is from College Humor, so you know it’s just meant to be funny. Is it? I’ll leave that up to you, but it’s an infographic leading you to discover what kind of beer drinker you are.

Today’s infographic is yet another beer spectrum poster, called the Beer Style Periodic Table by Brew Muse. It’s an interactive page, although each link has not been completed yet.

Friday’s ad is for Ballantine, from 1947. In the background the three Ballantine rings are being used to play horseshoes, while in the foreground a man who’s a dead ringer for Will Rogers in a bow tie is reaching out for a beer. The tagline, “I’ll take Ballantine Ale,” neatly works as both slogan and as a description of what’s going on in the ad.

Today’s infographic is yet another beer spectrum poster, this one from Great Brewers. This one is done in a wheel format.

Thursday’s ad is also for Budweiser, from 1956. Anheuser-Busch did a few of these ads, with a scene shown through a glass of beer. This one appears to be a musical rehearsal or party where the attendees are singing a lot. It uses the “Where there’s Life … there’s Budweiser” slogan that was popular in the Fifties, but I love the tagline at the bottom best of all. “Treat Yourself A Little Better….”

Today’s infographic is another beer spectrum poster, this one from the Blue Sky Brewery in Cairns, Australia, showing their beers along with some other popular beers along the spectrum.

Wednesday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1951. With the tagline “Something more than Beer” followed by “… a mark of good taste,” a couple is apparently unwrapping wedding gifts. The expression on the woman’s face is priceless as she looks over a statue she’s just opened, while her new hubby arrives to rescue her with a tray of beers and snacks.
