1952 Video About American Beer Industry

I was planning to take a break from the blog today but when I saw this video I decided I couldn't do it. I'm too attached at this point! Supposedly from 1952 (although it's in color, so I highly doubt that date), this video is presented by the United States Brewer's Foundation Inc., and really has the feel of a propaganda video because it goes to great lengths to make the beer industry look "clean" and "law abiding." Bartenders are good American citizens and follow the rules in order to make a friendly tavern atmosphere. Also feels like an antique version of "How Beer Saved The World." Anyway, if you want a good drinking game, take a sip of beer any time the narrator says the word "America."
