Comment
08 October 2003 by Gordon MacMillan,LONDON – The Hofmeister beer brand, famous for its 'follow the bear' commercials in the 1980s, is set to be axed by Scottish Courage on the back of plummeting sales.
The Hofmeister ads, created by BMP DDB's John Webster, featured George the Bear, who dressed in shades and a natty jacket and swaggered around town with a couple of friends. The ads featured the tagline "For great lager, follow the bear".
