Red Dog Neon Beer Sign: Original Collectible Vintage Bar Sign
At ArtFactory.com, we know that collectors are into items that are rare and unique, or have a special connection to a period in time. While this Red Dog neon beer sign from the mid-1990's, is not nearly as old as most of the items we usually deal in, its uniqueness and rarity make it highly collectible. Introduced by Miller Brewing Company in 1994, Red Dog enjoyed a surge of popularity almost instantly, and was commonly seen at back yard barbecues and tailgate parties in that era. However, when Miller and Coors merged in 2002, the brand was phased out, and relegated to realms of history. Due to its short lived history, and not being a flagship type brand, very few Red Dog neon beer signs were ever produced to begin with. Most of those that were, likely reside in personal collections, or with the original owner, making this a truly unique find for sale on the market. It is being sold in original, unrestored, working condition, as pictured.
This is a "SURVIVOR CONDITION" item, meaning that everything is fully original, and completed untouched, and that it is being sold in the same condition that it came into our shop, (as pictured). In other words, not only is this an extremely coveted, and sought after piece of memorabilia in any condition, but to find one in original, working condition, and not in need of any type of restoration is a truly rare find. This vintage Red Dog neon beer sign is single sided, and lights up red when turned on.

History Of Red Dog Beer
Red Dog Beer is a brand of beer that was introduced by the Miller Brewing Company in 1994. It gained popularity for its distinctive red label and bold marketing campaign. Here's a brief history of Red Dog Beer:
- Introduction (1994): Red Dog was launched in 1994 as a brand of beer by the Miller Brewing Company, a subsidiary of Philip Morris (now part of Molson Coors Beverage Company).
- Distinctive Red Label: One of the notable features of Red Dog Beer was its bright red label, which helped it stand out on store shelves. The label featured a stylized red dog, contributing to its memorable branding.
- Marketing Campaign: Red Dog gained attention for its unconventional and humorous marketing campaign. The advertisements featured the fictional character "Red Dog," a charismatic and adventurous dog, engaging in various escapades.
- Popularity: The brand quickly gained popularity, and its marketing approach resonated with consumers. The beer's appeal was not only in its taste but also in the strong brand image it developed through advertising.
- Brewing Process: Red Dog was marketed as a lager beer, and it underwent a unique brewing process known as "dry hopping," where the hops were added late in the brewing process to enhance the beer's aroma and flavor.
- Ownership Changes: Over the years, the ownership of the Red Dog brand underwent changes. In 2002, the Miller Brewing Company was merged with Coors Brewing Company to form MillerCoors, and subsequently, Molson Coors acquired full ownership.
- Discontinuation: Despite its initial success, Red Dog Beer faced declining sales, and Molson Coors eventually decided to discontinue the brand. Red Dog was phased out of the market, and it is no longer produced.
While Red Dog Beer is no longer available, it remains a nostalgic brand for those who remember its distinctive red label and unique marketing approach during the 1990s.
