SF Beer Week event poster designed by Keith Shore, printed by Team Print Shop.

Been seeing some cool posters for the SF Beer Week around town lately, and the art is good enough to warrant a post of its own, especially with local artists doing individual posters for events and the likes of the Bold Italic getting some great talent to make some gorgeous beer-festive posters.

Guinness Advertising Posters

We've never really done a beer based post before, so this is a first.  Guinness advertising dating back to the 1930s has built a reputable brand image through quick and easy ads that promoted the dark Irish beer in a cheery and joyful way.  English artist and illustrator John Gilroy has produced many of these posters, though I'm not quite sure as to which ones in particular he's responsible for.  I have to say, for a product like beer, these really do a dandy fine job in putting you in the mood to go out and grab a pint.

Also Guinness's website has taken the liberty in archiving a lot of the ads for both television and print.
