Vintage 1987 Budweiser King of Beers Summer Print Advertisement — Original 1980s Beer Original Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1987 Budweiser 'King of Beers' magazine advertisement captures the height of 1980s American beer marketing in full, sun-drenched color. Shot from an aerial perspective, three women in Budweiser-branded swimsuits lounge on an oversized Bud label beach towel on a wooden deck, surrounded by cassette tapes, CDs, and cans of Bud — the ultimate snapshot of late-Reagan-era leisure culture. A collectible ad that doubled as a sought-after poster (the fine print offered a 20x28 print for $3), this original print ad distills the brash, confident energy that made Budweiser's 1980s campaigns legendary among vintage advertisement collectors.
