Here are a couple of coasters that exploit the several meanings
of the word "bar".
 |
"First Over The Bars"
(horse or beer?!) proclaims this beermat from the Channel Islands that celebrates awards
at the UK 1954 Brewers Exhibition. Such dates should not be taken as an indication of the
age of the beermat, because this design was used into the 1970's! There are also two versions of this beermat, different beers being
advertised to the left and right of the horseshoe. |
| The Alcatraz Brewing Co., however, claims to be the
"Best Behind Bars" and one version of this beermat even has a convict saying
"It's Nice Inside"! The brewery was founded in
Indianapolis in 1995, but its latest beermat issues show that it has opened up in new
locations. |
