It’s Saturday night – Here’s Luck – Get a Pint of EWO Down You

Posted: October 29th, 2011 | No Comments »

Ewo Pilsner – a standard and widely available beer in Shanghai before 1949 and produced by Jardine’s (EWO was also Jardine’s Hong name). Not sure what it was like, obviously a lager but they didn’t advertise strength or alcoholic content in those days (nor those stupid injunctions to not drink and drive or operate heavy machinery).

Here’s Luck!! – not one of the better slogans

Nice to see girls getting a pint down them though!
