Red White & Blue Beer 1899 Posters and Art Prints

With a name giving a nod to the American flag, it seems appropriate that Red White & Blue Beer (RWB) was first introduced in 1899, just in time for the 4th of July weekend. Early ad campaigns extolled the beer’s mellow taste, drinkability, and low price point, the one that got plenty of mileage out of their “honest beer for an honest price” slogan. The patriotic themed cans and rock bottom price point made RWB a hit right out the gate, and while prohibition briefly killed the brew in 1920, it was resurrected with the 1933 repeal, and didn't miss a beat. RWB picked up where they left off and continued on to become a favorite working man's beer in the '50s and '60s, and continued to be brewed well into the '90s before finally fading away.
