Collection of Wonderful Vintage Beer Advertisements and Posters

posted on 29th July 2010 by Callum Chapman with the tags: "Advertisements", "Beer", "Posters", "Vintage" .

Beer advertisements have always been pretty inspirational. From the 1900′s all the way up to today, photographers, artists and designers have always experimented and found new ways to come up with some wonderful advertising campaigns.

We have collected a bunch of vintage beer ads that were used throughout the twentieth century, from well-known beers and lagers to some not so well-known ones. What is your favourite ad here, and why?

These are very nice ads. It’s good to see them in a large format. I love the Miller one that looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. Those folks are having an absolute blast while drinking Miller High Life! The old Budweiser ones are cool too showing the classic flat top beer can prominently in the photos. Thanks for sharing!
