How to sell beer to grown men

FFS! The advertising company must be pissing themselves getting paid for this.
Or men did have the thinking power of a typical brexiter back then?

Well done for shoehorning Brexit into it, completely incongruosly.
Cunt.

The 80s were a fucking good laugh, unlike today's po-faced, Twitter-addled shittery.

What a superb ad. Great to see the Yeti in it as well as the bloke from 2.4 children (that’s what I think it was called).

What year was that advert? I'd guess about 86.
Piss awful beer no doubt.
My early forays in the world of illicit beer drinking in the park were Royal Dutch (cheap, known as Royal Ditch for good reason) and Trent Bitter (cheap, available in 2 litre plastic bottles and purchased without difficulty at the age of 15). Preferred Trent Bitter.
Once I'd sussed out which pubs would serve me as a 16 year old I was into IPA and Ruddles. I always looked older than my age so it was normally my responsibility to lie at the bar when asked. Happy days.

My first pint was a Hofmeister.
Golden Grove, Chertsey.
96p.

That bear campaign was a massive hit for Hoffmeister. Their shit lager was a big seller.
So yes, that ad at the time was the perfect way to sell beer to grown men.
What's your point?

Looks like he was attempting to make some extremely tenuous link to Brexit. Massive fail all round.

Double Diamond (works wonders) in the 70's... and every family party there would be a bottle of old english cider and a barrel of Watneys party 7

For some reason when I was playing Sunday football in the 80’s my first thirst quenching pint after the game would always be a Websters Yorkshire Bitter Shandy?? What on earth was I thinking….
