libertangoA magazine ad for San Miguel Dark beer, using a quote from R.H. Dana's Two Years Before the Mast.
I remember a whole series of these, using Conrad and probably other authors as well. They were in magazines of the late 1970's, early 1980's. San Miguel Dark was my favorite beer in college, and it was partly because I was a sucker for these images.
"Classic Beer of the Pacific" says the slug line, and back then, it was.
These days, it seems all I can find is a lager from San Miguel. Just not the same, at all. The sheet this is on has only another ad on the reverse, so I don't know what magazine this is from. My google-fu turns up nothing. I'd like to see the others, though, for old times' sake.
