As part of our ongoing series of collections of old advertising slogans, culled from a 1949 book called American Slogans, we today share a list of slogans that were utilized by companies that manufactured and marketed brews (beer, ale, etc.).

It’s interesting to note, as one peruses the list, how often beer is referred to as “brew.” You don’t hear that usage nearly as often in today’s advertising.
