Ballantine's Ale is the particular brand here, shown as a magazine advertisement with a bottle and glass set out for the viewer. The Ballantine name goes back to the Newark, New Jersey brewery founded by Peter Ballantine in the 1840s, and the company became one of the best-known American beer makers of the twentieth century. Print advertisements like this one were a major way breweries reached readers, so the image shows how a beer was presented as a respectable, everyday choice. It is worth noticing how the bottle and pour are staged to make the drink look clean and appealing.
