“Schaefer Is the One Beer to Have When You’re Having More Than One” (Schaefer Beer)
"Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one" is one of New York's most famous jingles. Schaefer closed its doors in the 1970s, ending the great history of Brooklyn's breweries.
1 July 1966, New York Times, pg. 45:
A new television commercial for Schaefer beer may make you think twice when you're having more than one.
3 January 1969, New York Times, pg. 44:
The Schaefer beer boys, pleased as punch with the result of their 1968 talent hunt, are going to give it a go again this year. What they'll be looking for once more will be musical groups or soloists to belt out an old favorite, "Schaefer Is the One Beer to Have When You're Having More Than One," in all of their radio advertising in their 14-state marketing area.
(...)
Then, by spring, B.B.D. & O. will have the winners, and their specially arranged renditions of the Schaefer jingle will flood the airwaves.
The jingle was created at the agency toward the end of 1961, and even competitive brewers agree that the "when you're having more than one" theme is an inspired selling line..
