The Bitburger Connoisseur

This charming fellow was designed by graphic artist G. H. Heimig for Bitburger brewery and debuted on bottles and advertisements in 1929. This character is simply known as the “Connoisseur”. Poor fellow doesn’t seem to have any other identity, but the Author does find him to be charming.

The Author likes the slogan ‘Bitte ein Bit!’, which means, “please, a Bit [Bitburger]”. According to the Bitburger website, the lettering is based on the handwriting of brewery owner, Dr. Theobald Simon.

The Author also likes this beer.
