Few beers have a name as tied to a prize as Pabst Blue Ribbon, which took its name from a blue ribbon awarded at a Milwaukee exposition in the early 1880s. The slogan "This is a Blue Ribbon Country" plays on that heritage, presenting the beer as a national favorite rather than a regional brew. Pabst, rooted in Milwaukee's German brewing tradition, grew into one of the country's largest brewers, and its advertising in the mid-20th century often leaned on this kind of confident, everyday Americana. The piece is worth a look for its typography and its picture of how beer was sold to ordinary households.
