I like Beer Ads (#22)

I am kind of confused about the place of this ad. Should I put it in "Beer Randomness" - as an example of an awesome beer opener;) or in "I like Beer Ads". What do you think?



If you were wondering Ariana is a Bulgarian beer, now owned by Heineken.

Who is a beer connoisseur

Thanks to StumbleUpon I found an interesting flowchart which helps you find out whether you are a beer snob. Since I don't really the word snob I replaced it with a more sophisticated one. And let's face it more appropriate to beer;)



Below you can see the original from Sloshspot.

Leffe blonde (#35) and bruine (#36)

In this episode I try something new. I'm comparing two different beers of the same beer brand. The brand is of Belgium origin of course. Slowly but surely the Belgium months are coming to an end. Just a few left.

I like Beer Ads (#20)

Wouldn't you like to drink a beer that is advertised by the most interesting man in the world. My favorite part: "The police often question him just because they find him interesting".

So stay thirsty my friends:)

History of beer cans

I don't know if you collected cans as a child but I certainly did. The beer ones were usually the best. Soda cans are just so ordinary, aren't they. I might reconsider my last statement.

I like Beer Ads (#19)

So what do you think...

More seriously though, here are some vintage Schlitz beer ads. Enjoy!


More can be found here. Doesn't they remind you of a Miller ad I shared some time ago.
