Prior Beer Stein Sign

This is a Reading Premium Beer "Taste Test" poster from the Reading Brewing Company located in Reading, PA.  The poster is about 11"W  X 14.5"H and displays images of cans from Miller, Budweiser, Schlitz, and Reading.   The poster was meant to advertise that Reading Premium Beer was not only cheaper but it tasted a lot better then bigger brand name beers.  Posters like these were probably distributed prior to the Reading brewery's closing due to competition with larger breweries in 1976.  All of these posters are new-old-stock and in excellent condition.
