St Pauli Girl's Beers were first introduced into select US markets in 1965. National Distribution began in 1975. St. Pauli Non-Alcoholic was first sold in the United States in 1991. The St Pauli Girl website claims that their beer is the number two selling German beer in the United States.

Marketing

The distinctive label depicting a woman wearing a dirndl was introduced in the 19th century with the advent of the bottled beer. The local artist commissioned for the label drew his inspiration from the waitresses at the time.

Starting in 1977 St. Pauli Girl Beer began choosing a model to represent the beer brand nationally on an annual basis and appear on the popular St. Pauli Girl poster. During that time period, several years did not have a named spokesmodel (1978-1981, 1988, 1992, and 1994). The spokesmodel campaign ended after 2012.
