There are three big reasons why sexist beer ads have fallen by the wayside over the past few years.
1. Millennials are turned off by sexist advertising that degrades women.
2. Craft beers are taking up big shares of the marketplace and their emphasis on quality means more shots of quality hops and less shots of long legs.
3. More women are drinking beer and beverage companies would rather not turn off potential female customers.

2019: After a woman’s favorite Chinese food is delivered, she cracks open a Budweiser to enjoy some time to herself.

1958: A woman pours her man a Bud while he fixes what looks like a rotary phone. Because he obviously can’t pour one for himself.

2019: A man and woman cheers each other while they appear to be moving into a new home. There’s also a nice big pizza on the floor that looks like delivery so it wasn’t cooked by the woman.

1962: This one is really sexist. In this ad, the woman is in a bridal get up and thinking about how she married two men, the one that’s packing up their luggage for their honeymoon and his inner self that needs to feel “contented.” How can she make him feel fulfilled? By making “delicious dishes” complemented by the “best beer ever brewed.”

2019: The headline says it all in this one: “She Found She Has it All.” The woman isn’t fulfilled because she makes a mean pot roast for her husband, but because she has a diverse group of girlfriends and they love having a Bud together.
