These actually were your dad’s beer ads.



















Aka, when beer copy tried harder. The writing and art of yesteryear was better. It just was. Forget a simple staple gun to the nuts, there’s a reverse sexism thing going on with Tannhaeuser Beer that really makes you work for it, mister. HERE’S TO WOMAN! (Although, you want it to be women, I suppose.) Pabst skews creepy while Stella rolls Egyptian. More vintage beeriness here and here.

I was so inspired by this, I jumped up to the frige and popped a Stella...a beer with a girls name FOR a girl. Beer makes today think only men drink the stuff.

Nothing is better than an ad that can give you cognitive dissonance. It's like the effect of beer without the beer.
