We LOVE this fancy beer ad from our collections @mohistlibrary! 😍

Did you notice that the company’s name is E. Anheuser & Co. Brewing Association? The now-famous brewery rebranded in 1879 and became @AnheuserBusch. #InternationalBeerDay

Oh hey! It's their participation medal from the 1893 World's Fair. Looks just like Pabst's and Schlitz's and all the rest, and yet they're claiming to have won the "highest honor" at the fair. Seems a tad misleading 🤔🤔🤔

Don't hate the player, hate the game. #beerhistory
