BAVARIAN'S ADVERTISING SLOGANS 

As discussed under the the beginning section on Ads, it has been common for businesses to frequently change their sayings or slogans used in advertising.  The Bavarian Brewing Co. was no exception, and frequently changed their slogans, especially after Prohibition. Some different sayings were also used about a year after Bavarian merged with International Breweries Inc. (IBI) in early 1959.
