This campaign positioned PBR squarely in the world of American high society — hotel ballrooms, resort dining rooms, and the aspirational leisure class that was ready to celebrate after the Depression and wartime rationing. The Greenbrier, the St. Regis, the Mayflower — these were the most prestigious addresses in American hospitality, and PBR was putting its name on every table. As a complete diptych, these two panels tell the full story of the campaign side by side: the setting and the payoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold as a matched set of 2.
