Bière Grütli, Brasserie des Moulineaux, 1908

A Swiss shield on a field of yellow.

What

A poster for Bière Grütli of the Brasserie des Moulineaux, printed by Champenois in Paris in 1908; the BnF lists the maker as unidentified.

Why

The Grütli is the meadow where the Swiss Confederation was sworn, and the brewery borrowed its name and its cross.

Notice

An eagle spreads its wings over the white cross on red, and the red lettering is outlined in black on pure yellow.

“A Paris-region brewery sold under a Swiss flag.”
