What sets this poster apart is the barrel bearing the name H. & J. Pfaff, which puts a specific maker's name at the center of the design. In the late 1800s, lager, a cold-fermented style brought to the United States by German immigrants, was growing into the country's most popular beer, and posters like this helped brewers and dealers promote their own labels. Advertisers often used a cask to suggest quality and careful workmanship, so the barrel says as much about how beer was sold as it does about the beer itself.
