With the tagline &#8220;Trinkt Sternenberg Bier&#8221; or drink Sternenberg beer, the artwork resembles an illustration from a children&#8217;s book. The &#8220;king&#8221; sits on a throne with brewer&#8217;s stars on each arm and there&#8217;s one behind him, too. Below the throne, a triple tap [...]]]></description>

Getty Images claims it&#8217;s from around 1900 but the artist, Tom Purvis, was born in 1888 meaning he&#8217;d have been 12 then, so it seems more likely it was actually later. The ad reminds me a bit of the Blues Brothers movie, the scene at the [...]]]></description>

Like most Gizmodo articles, it&#8217;s in-your-face opinionated (especially in the comments, where it turns decidedly loopy) but makes most of the points we all know about that are advantages for canned beer. I don&#8217;t believe cans will ever [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re still brewing beer today, though I don&#8217;t know when this ad was done, though I suspect it was shortly after World War 2 ended, as &#8220;Kriegs Zeit Friedens Zeit&#8221; translates roughly [...]]]></description>

It almost seems unfinished, a rough sketch. And I can&#8217;t help but wonder; why the five of hearts? Dicitura, by the way, is Italian for &#8220;wording.&#8221; Share [...]]]></description>
