Blatz Wiener Beer Advertisement

Blatz Wiener Beer Advertisement | Print | Wisconsin Historical Society
An advertisement for Blatz Wiener beer featuring two well-dressed men and two women seated at a restaurant table drinking Blatz Beer. There is a potted plant in the foreground. Most of the advertisement is copy which reads: "Blatz Wiener Beer Milwaukee, Good Beer is the beverage of the hour and is recognized by intelligent classes, the world over, for its tonic and nourishing qualities — hop bitters and malt are a tonic and food in themselves. The foamy, amber beverage no longer suggests the China pipe and wooden shoes. Enlightened and thinking ones do not, in this generation, look askance at good beer, for it is barely 3 1/2 percent alcoholic, not enough to class it in that respect, with the mildest medicinal wines — or even cider. Blatz Wiener-- the good old beverage — brewed from honest components and matured in cellars that are cool and dry — has won a dignified place in the American home. It stands for all that's good and pure in brewing. Is pre-eminently the beer of honest and undeviating quality. That's why physicians recommend it to their most delicate patients. That's why you should have Blatz Wiener available in your own home. Always the same good old Blatz, Val. Blatz Brewing Co. Milwaukee, Visitors in our city invited to inspect the plant."
