This Monday we&#8217;re still celebrating beer in the Bay Area during SF Beer Week. That&#8217;s nothing new of course, as evidenced by this last century beer poster entitled Hurra! Bier!. That translates as &#8220;hooray beer,&#8221; and that&#8217;s our sentiment for this week, as well.

The fourth Guinness poster on our John Gilroy odyssey is a double, this time featuring not one, but two pint glasses of Guinness. The tagline is the also popular &#8220;Guinness Is Good For You&#8221; which is used on many later ads.

This Friday is also the three-year anniversary of The Sessions, a.k.a. Beer Blogging Friday. When I created the logo for the Session, I used this Gangloff beer ad from 1930.

But now the German brewery has retaken the title with a whopping 40% monster of a beer. Schorschbrau describes the beer as follows:

I stopped by Russian River Brewing today, because my friend Pete Slosberg told me last week that he would be there for the first bottling of Consecration in the new proprietary 375ml bottles. Pete was there with a few volunteers, including Peter Estaniel, from A Better Beer Blog.
The new bottle was developed for exclusive use [...]]]></description>

Given that today is the 70th anniversary of Champion Brewing changing their name to Lone Star, it seemed only appropriate for Monday&#8217;s ad to be for Lone Star Beer. And it&#8217;s an odd one, in several ways. I&#8217;m guessing from the art that it was published in the late 50-early 60s. Are the couple at [...]]]></description>

Since Friday&#8217;s ad is number 33, I thought it only appropriate to feature one for Rolling Rock, since they so successfully exploited the mystery surrounding the number &#8220;33&#8243; being printed on their bottles, though the likeliest story isn&#8217;t that mysterious. This humorous ad plays on that theme with some of history&#8217;s greatest thinkers contemplating the [...]]]></description>

Today is Ralph Olson&#8217;s 59th birthday. He&#8217;s the general manager/co-owner of HopUnion, a co-op that supplies hops to most of the craft breweries. He&#8217;s been a great friend to and very supportive of the craft beer industry. Join me in wishing Ralph a very happy birthday.

Below is, as far as I know, the most recent label for Budweiser, updated in 2000. We all know that labels change over time, sometimes dramatically, but usually more subtly with just small tweaks from time to time. But even small changes over a long period of time become dramatic in the long view. So [...]]]></description>

Monday&#8217;s ad is for Ballantine Ale from 1947. It features a woman in a white dress with white roses in her hair. Is that really who drank ale in the late 1940s? Ah, well. If I&#8217;d just come back from the war, I suppose I&#8217;d have a beer with her, too.

Yesterday, I had a post about some sober statistics that came from CDC — and specifically their Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System — by way of an article in U.S. News &#038; World Report. The statistics from the article concerned the most sober American cities according to their (questionable) data.
But there were two additional data [...]]]></description>

Today&#8217;s works of art is another modern one, painted in a style that&#8217;s known as Photorealism or, more likely, Hyperrealism (the two are similar), although the artist doesn&#8217;t characterize his work in that way.

Here&#8217;s an interesting list. Usually, we hear about the top drinking cities, but this is the top ten (or bottom ten, depending on your perspective) cities for NOT drinking, that is the cities and towns that don&#8217;t drink very much. I found the list in a U.S. News &#038; World Report article but the data [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been avoiding this story over the last few weeks, mostly because I&#8217;ve been busy with other work and it&#8217;s a complicated one. I&#8217;ve sure you&#8217;ve seen it and pieces of it, though. It&#8217;s even gone mainstream, with Time magazine wading into it, mostly because of the big business angle. In a nutshell, Anheuser-Busch InBev [...]]]></description>

The second Guinness poster on our John Gilroy odyssey is also one of my favorites. The tagline is &#8220;There&#8217;s Nothing Like A Guinness&#8221; and features the personified pint of Guinness opening its mouth for the last drop from the bottle.

And here&#8217;s another version, a square one, of the same basic artwork.

Friday&#8217;s ad is for Brauerei Münchner Kindl, a German brewer. As far as I can tell, Vivator was a brand of beer sold by the brewery. There&#8217;s a small signature block in the lower right corner that appears to be where the artist&#8217;s signature would be, but I can&#8217;t find a large enough version of [...]]]></description>

This is hilarious, especially so depending on which way you lean on the issue of health care reform. My wife found it on Daily Kos, but apparently it&#8217;s popping up everywhere on political blogs.
