Today&#8217;s work of art was originally created while Alex Caldwell was still in college, a project presumably for one of his classes at Philadelphia University. It&#8217;s called Typographic Beer Destinations and tells the story in type of a journey from home to Philadelphia.

But not just any journey, a trip involving stops at beer destination every [...]]]></description>

Our ninth Guinness poster by John Gilroy features a frustrated goldfish who can&#8217;t reach a pint of Guinness just outside his fishbowl. Under the &#8220;Guinness For Strength&#8221; banner, it also uses the curious tagline. &#8220;It&#8217;s a poor fish that never has a Guinness.&#8221;

Friday&#8217;s ad is for Miller High Life featuring the &#8220;Girl in the Moon,&#8221; which was originally created in the early 1900&#8217;s by an unknown artist. The beer itself debuted in 1903 and was advertised with the girl in the moon from the beginning, though to me she looks more like a witch. I think it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Thursday&#8217;s ad is for the Spoetzl Brewery, makers of Shiner Bock. Today is their 101st anniversary. This isn&#8217;t too old, but I like the concept of it.

Wednesday&#8217;s ad is for a presumably short-lived New York City brewery, Brewer&#8217;s Best Associates, Inc., which was located at 620 Fifth Avenue. The ad for their Pilsener Beer is from 1947. The normally authoritative American Breweries II doesn&#8217;t even have a listing for the brewery, which is odd. It&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve looked up [...]]]></description>

I probably shouldn&#8217;t speak for you, but this is certainly my worst nightmare. I tweeted this yesterday, but thought it still deserving of a snarky comment again today.

Tuesday&#8217;s ad is for Stag Beer, whose original name was &#8220;Kaiser Beer&#8221; until 1907. In an effort to avoid growing anti-German sentiment, Star Brewing held a contest to pick a new name. A winner was chosen today in 1907, and the beer was renamed &#8220;Stag Beer.&#8221; It proved a very popular name. The ad below [...]]]></description>

Today&#8217;s work of art was originally painted around 1790, when the English pub was a very different animal. It was created by Henry Singleton, a British artist who lived from 1766-1839.

The eitgth Guinness poster by John Gilroy is of a Knight in shining armor trying to figure out how to drink through his helmet. The tagline is &#8220;Opening Time is Guinness Time,&#8221; but it looks more like Knight Time to me.

The Danish beerticker.dk is reporting that Anders Kissmeyer was fired by Nørrebro Bryghus. Kissmeyer was one of the founders and as the original brewmaster was one of the reasons for the beer&#8217;s success. He seems to be taking it well as part of a necessary restructuring. Kissmeyer still has 20% stake in the company, but [...]]]></description>

Today work of art is, at least to me, a great example of how varying interests can come together and lead to one thing, in this case the art of Peter Cross, a British illustrator of album covers and children&#8217;s books, among others. I first became aware of Peter Cross in the late 1970s. I [...]]]></description>

This is a bit of a head-scratcher, especially give the recent troubles that Toyota has been experiencing.

As a cancer survivor, Lyke [...]]]></description>

Friday&#8217;s ad is for Schlitz, and seemed appropriate since we&#8217;re in the waning days of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. This Schlitz ad was part of their &#8220;Real Gusto&#8221; campaign and ran during the 1964 Summer Olympic games in Tokyo, Japan. The ad features sportscaster Tom Harmon, father of actor Mark Harmon, who anchored the [...]]]></description>

Thursday&#8217;s ad is for Sapporo, since the Japanese brewery was founded today in 1889. Following western brewery advertising standards of the day, this one was published nineteen years later in 1908.

Wednesday&#8217;s ad is for Schlitz, one from their long-running &#8220;Just the Kiss of Hops&#8221; series, and apparently published around 1960. It looks to me like those luscious red lips on the raven-haired beauty are about to kiss the hops, rather than being kissed by them, as the tagline suggests.
