1950s Rheingold Beer Ad

[Wehategod]

Ahhh this is what the world looks like in my head lol

[Kathykat216]

not a fan of drinking but those old commercials are super cute!

[elc1960]

Does anyone remember an old beer commercial with two drunks drinking in a bar and one turns to the other and slurs "are you making fun of me?" and the other slurs back "I'm not making fun of you." I used to see that as a kid and wondered if it has ever shown up on YouTube. I don't even remember what brand it was for. Reply back if you remember it too.

[FSM2786]

I was told that this was my grandpas choice of beer, and they came in a 5-pack that were 16 0z cans. He would drink a 5 pack of those every night for a long time.

[sunrecords56]

I remember a Distributor on Troy avenue Brooklyn New York delivering this Junk to all the Neighborhood drunks from Albany ave to E49th Street from Cortelyou ave to Ave J. and by the case load, and if you ran short there was always the 4 Bars on ave D to keep you from standing up straight.

Rhiny's clean and its clea-(buzz)

Oh I'm sorry. The correct answer was Budweiser.

Tough luck but at least you get the home version of our game and our thanks for playing.

[brandnewkirk]

why does it cut out at the end

[mempbleek]

I've learned so much stuff from watching Golden Girls, lol

[marvy1118]

Rheingold.  German name, and the jingle sounds like something one would hear at a 1930's Nazi party rally.

[ptp44444]

I remember when Rheingold was the # 1 sponsor of the New York Mets.

[thewillofthe313]

I was just watching the Golden Girls and that made me look for this jingle. God I love youtube.

[bkhunee]

It's on right now & that's how I found this!

[thewillofthe313]

I am the wolf BOOM BOOM, the big bad wolf BOOM BOOM...Hello!?

[cjs33139]

@thewillofthe313 haha, me 2!! I just finished watching that GG episode and decided to look up the commericial, but this jingle is not the one that the GG's sing in the hospital waiting room. Hmmm. Maybe there are others. I'd have to see. :)

[elc1960]

@cjs33139 "My beer is Rheingold the dry beer/Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer . . . " Is that the one?

[cjs33139]

@elc1960 Yes, I believe that's how it goes! thnx.

[gmugrl12]

@thewillofthe313 haha same! thats the exact reason im watching it right now :)

they sing it better hahaha

[scruffylovesbongs]

lol i like the buzz at the end

[drdee51]

Damn does this ad bring back memories. Too bad this beer was dreadful!

[namxw]

"Dry" beer back then didn't mean the same thing it did in the 90s. In the 50s, beer was frequently advertised as 'dry" to distinguish it from many that were on the sweet side (like today).

[prisonplanet82]

Rheingold is coming back in the next 12 months from Drinks America (DKAM). They are planning on reintroducing it. Stay tuned!

[alan1963]

Great beer taste....but hey, DRINK RESPONSIBLY!!

[Juliaflo]

I second that.

I seldom drink, but when I do, I do it responsibly.

Yes, I am over 21.

[ethicomm]

I remember when "dry" beer was a trendy new hit in the 1990's but here we can see that it existed in the 1950's. Who would have known!

[charliebradley1979]

I think of the Golden Girls when I see this...the episode when Rose has open heart surgery they sing another Rheingold jingle

[Darienlover999]

@charliebradley1979 That was on today :) That's why I came looking.

[CatStevensAndClaudia]

@charliebradley1979 me too but I think I like the Golden girls version better. It was a little different

[witchesbru]

Wow..brought back a lot of memories. I remember the Rheingold Chug-a-mug...glass bottle with a large opening!

[evilunixuser1]

sounds like a nazi propaganda song

[antonygeee]

It was a good light lager beer. There were lots of independant breweries. Now, there are only a handful of breweries to service the entire country. Enter the mini-brewery. They cater to a small local geographical area. You will pay for the beer; but it will be good.

I still miss Rheingold and Piels......Remember the goofy Piels ads?

AFG

[Juliaflo]

Bert and Harry Piel. That brings back memories.

Also, Knickerbocker Beer----remember that beer?

[elc1960]

@Juliaflo Have a Knick! Oh God, I'm dating myself now!

[Chubachus]

nice

[nodnarbdoowron]

i wander how that beer tasted

[tradercris]

I worked with this old dude back in the 80s, and he was still proud back in the 50s whatever year it was a neighbor of his in Brooklyn won that year's Miss Rheingold pageant!

[KhmerSerey1]

it's a beer of switzerland.

[rockstarslawnmowers]

brooklyn

[ethicomm]

I remember when "dry" beer was a big gimmick in the 1990's.

[JosephDeMato]

anyone know if it is still produced ?

[retrotvluver]

Pull my finger at :51!

[afgan01]

my dad used to drink rheingold and he'd take me to the tavern with him. i'd sit next to him on a stool with an orange soda while dad got drunk. can't bond with your kids like this anymore. no wonder there are so many absentee dads.

[inkey2]

to afgan01: LOL....when I was a kid and my dad would take the family to the beach he would say to us I'll be in that bar over there if you need me.

[afgan01]

yup, classic line from a dad.........funny how nobody protested.

[inkey2]

DO THEY still make this beer.....have not seen it in years

[waffen2]

are they really marching?

[geoffolehane]

I love classic TV ads.

[legaata]

Lol! This was funny.

[langbry]

Awesome beer. Had one when I was in NY a couple years ago.

[yogifenogi]

I guess it dates me to say I do remember this ad as well as the Miss Rheingold contests each year. Voting ws done in the neighborhood grocery store. Good old days!

[Juliaflo]

Which Miss Rheingold contestant went on to make a classic movie with feathered friends?

[junglered]

Arlene Dahl!

[Juliaflo]

No---Tippi Hedren, who starred in 'The Birds'.

[junglered]

Arlene was The Rheingold Beer Girl of 1946 before going to Hollywood.

[heine71]

"My beer is Rhinegold the dry beer..."

[funkpuck]

hahaha that's fantastic

[arspoetice]

Where's the end?!?! Without those last nine seconds, it's like having a police flashlight shine into the backseat of your teenage Chevy . . .

[mybuddies6]

The ending is the best part musically.

[thunderstruck665]

I'm so glad Rheingold Beer is back! This IS a great beer!

I just wish this commercial didn't cut off.

[StukInBuf]

I never knew it WAS back!

I recall Rheingold as one of the principal sponsors of Mets baseball on WOR Channel 9 back in the day.

[PKFlashOmega]

Last i checked, it still was on the radio...
