Waaaaaaay back in the fifties, National Brewing Co. of Baltimore did a series of animated spots featuring a troubador, a pelican and some other critters [HEY, give me a break; this was nearly fifty years ago!]. Anyway, they sang a jingle about the "Land of Pleasant Living", and the wonders of National Bohemian Beer as they cavorted around Chesapeake Bay country. I've no idea how many different 'toons were done, but one sticks forever in my memory. Just about the time the Ma & Pa [Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad] was pulling out of Baltimore [1958], National Beer placed the troubador and friends on a Ma&Pa train and ran them around the animated countryside, up hill and down vale, even running a tight curve around a large tree that the railroad didn't have the heart to cut down. The steam engine looked like a cross between the "Lil Engine that could", and a teakettle. I always had a kinda soft spot for Natty Bo after that. The beer is still available, but brewed elsewhere. The old brewery in Baltimore, like so many other former factories in Mobtown, is being converted to condos or artist's studios.
