Tin beer signs are a humorous way to advertise beer brands.
Should beer signs be straight to the point?
Or is it ok to add a little humor?
There are two types of beer signs: ones that feature a brand name with a logo or some picture, and ones that feature a funny joke relating to beer. I'm just curious as to which type the average beer drinker thinks is a more effective form of advertising.

- Good post I have always liked looking at beer signs. I am from the Wisconsin and Chicago area and on every corner there use to be beer signs.
