Early advert, Anheuser Busch, 1888


Advert from Puck Magazine of 18 January 1888. During the 1870s, Adolphus Busch toured Europe and studied the changes in brewing methods which were taking place at the time, particularly the success of pilsner beer, which included a locally popular example brewed in Budweis.[12] In 1876, Busch introduced Budweiser, with the ambition of transcending regional tastes.[12] His company's ability to transport bottled beer made Budweiser the first national beer brand in the United States, and it was marketed as a "premium" beer.
