What’ll You Have?

M1975.069.008
Date Unknown

Pabst Blue Ribbon ad of a picnic setting with a glass of Pabst Beer, a plate of food and a basket of french fries spelling out the Blue Ribbon Beer slogan.

Not only was “What’ll You Have” a slogan used by the Pabst Brewing Company, but it was jingle as well. Famously used in commercials during the 1950’s that answer to the question was always “Pabst Blue Ribbon” of course. As if commercials weren’t enough the song was also featured as the opening theme to the boxing television program Pabst Blue Ribbon Bouts, which ran from 1948-1955, and aired fights from New York’s Madison Square Garden.
