A bock beer poster built around a woman, a waiter and a goat is an unusual pairing, since the goat is the detail that sets this image apart from the usual foaming-mug advertising of its day. Bock beer was traditionally a strong, dark lager brewed in the German tradition, and its springtime release was often promoted with the goat, a playful symbol tied to the word "bock," which means billy goat in German. Posters like this one were typically chromolithographed to be eye-catching in saloons, shop windows and on street hoardings, where they blended brewery branding with lively scenes of everyday social life. Look closely at the figures' clothing and gestures, which reveal how beer drinking was pictured as sociable and respectable entertainment.
