Funniest Beer Commercials Ever!

Hilarious Beer Commercials You May Have Never Seen! 

Ten Humorous Beer Commercials From Leading Brands

Bud Light 

Bud Light is know for having hilarious super bowl commercials. Take a look at some of these classics! Does Bud Light cross the line in these videos? You decide! What would you do for a Bud Light?

 

Heineken 

Watch these three Heineken beer advertisements! They may appeal a bit masculine in nature but there is no doubting their effectiveness! These hilarious commercials clearly convey a message of a prestigious, must have beer!

Coors Light
Coors Light became famous for making commercials with bits of actual football post game interviews. Check out some of these including the legendary coach Mike Ditka!
 

Conclusion
This is just a small sample of beer advertisements that use humor to convey a message. In most cases, the humor comes from an exaggerated need or want of the product.  In my opinion nothing is catchier that humor! Beer companies can benefit from creating extensive, creative, humorous videos. Videos that go viral are free marketing, so why not give it a try!

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed!

Beer Industry Going Green?

Environmentally Friendly Beer Pouches

A major component in the beer industry is the packaging in which the brew is sold. We have seen cans, bottles, kegs and barrels, but pouches?

One environmentally conscious company is providing reusable pouches to craft brewers. 

Redi-2-DrinQ  Company from the UK plans on revolutionizing the way beer, wine, and other drinks are consumed.  

The idea is that you can take pouch drinks with you anywhere you go. Redi-2-DrinQ claims that beer pouches are the most effective and economical way for craft brewers to distribute their products. The fact that the packaging allows brewers to store up to 2 liters in a single pouch is quite unique.  Pouch packaging will allow you to take your favorite craft brews to places where glass is not allowed such as beaches or parks.

Will it Sell?

For some consumers drinking beer out a a bottle is all part of the experience. Bottled beer is clearly the best alternative when you do not have access to a frosty mug to pour it in. For others, it is all about tasting the beer and drinking it out of uniquely formed beer glasses. For craft brewers I believe pouches are the answer for distributing to consumers. Craft beers are often poured into a glass during consumption so why waste the money on packaging beer in expensive environmentally hazardous bottles. 

For The Hunter In All of Us

Camouflage Beer Cans Entice Outdoorsman

Fall weather is perfect for camping, hunting, and fishing trips.  This is the time of year that leaves change colors and begin to fall, farmers harvest their crops, and families and friends get together to experience the outdoors before the long winter. There is no better feeling than relaxing around a campfire on a calm autumn evening, in anticipation for the morning hunt, hike, or adventure.

The Perfect Outdoor Beer

As you are out experiencing the outdoors why not choose the beer that supports your hobbies and interests. Busch Beer supports your passion for the outdoors by making camouflage packaging to add to the experience of the perfect fall get away.

According to Durham Brand Co Busch beer promotional packaging is a celebration of their roots.

"Busch has always had a connection to the outdoors and this promotional hunting pack is a celebration of their roots. Printed with fluorescent ‘Blaze Orange’ and 'Trophy Can' gold adorned with various animal silhouettes .

The Busch Camo secondary focused on the ‘hunt’ in a simple, yet relatable execution. No matter how the secondary is shelved, the panoramic scene seamlessly billboards to engage the consumer into the hunting environment. A ‘bullseye’ seal was created to call out their proclamation and dedication to their outdoor heritage.

Leveraging elements from secondary, the POS translation brought a larger visual breath to the seasonal pack. New textures and elements were incorporated to demonstrate that Busch is the ‘Hero’ of hunting, by heroing the primary can within the environment. Produced while at lpk"-Durham Brand Co

Does it Work?

It is clear that hunters appreciate what Busch is promoting. They finally have a beer that can relate to them. Busch promotes the saying "you've earned it" and they welcome you to celebrate the tradition of the outdoors with them. As a hunter myself, I can relate to this promotion and those of competing brands who also attempt to target outdoorsman. I believe that this promotion is effective. When hunting is on your mind all day, camouflage is a sure sell for those avid outdoorsman.

"Falling" for Pumpkin Beer

Why is Pumpkin Beer so Popular?

The growth and popularity of seasonal and flavored beers

As the weather chills and the leaves begin to fall, many people are brought together for celebrations and parties during this beautiful time of year.  Football games are a popular attraction on weekends, and who could forget Halloween and Thanksgiving? For those who prefer to enjoy a beverage during this time of year, many things catch the eye of the consumer as they enter their local convenience store. Large display racks filled with pumpkin and other fall flavored beers are flooding stores in hopes of attracting consumers looking for a change this fall holiday season.

Tis' the Season

As Citrus is to Summer, Spice is to Fall

Just like pumpkin pie and  turkey dinners come and go from convenience stores, so do seasonal beers.  It may be the availability of ingredients during the peak pumpkin season that determine its duration on the shelves. The principle of scarcity could also be a key determinate in the strategic marketing scheme. The taste of fall spice that is only available for a limited time is a sure hit for those drinkers who are looking for a change in taste this fall season. 

Popular Brands

Choosing the right beer for you is beyond my expertise.  Craft breweries around the world produce hundreds and hundreds of varieties of pumpkin flavored beer every year.  Unfortunately, not all of these delicious brews will be available at your local liquor store. However, popular brands are penetrating the seasonal market quite well.

Conclusion

Positive user experience such as Hawks Memorial Stadium in Boise, will be the most effective marketing tool for Bottoms Up.  I believe that success stories will take over and the innovative dispenser will appear in stadiums and arenas world wide.

Bud Light Girls Promoting Beer Up Close and Personal

Digital and Passive Advertising not Enough for Bud Light 

If you watch television every day or walk by any convenience store, chances are you are being exposed to beer advertisements.  However, most of the time we shrug off these messages and continue on with our day. Before you know it, 5:00 on Friday night rolls around and you decide to treat yourself to a drink.  Are these flash reminder advertisements that you have been seeing during the week going to impact your decision when you step up to the bar? Probably not, unless you have heard good things about a product or have been exposed by fellow drinkers, you probably have no interest. See what Bud Light is doing to expose people to new products with up close and personal promotion techniques. 

The Bud Girls

Cheesy commercials and fancy posters in gas station windows just aren't quite enough to encourage you to try a new product. What if you could try these new products for free? Wait, it gets better, they are served to you by the always precious Bud Light Girls. Its easy to shy away from a television commercial or window advertisement, but you're not just going to run away from a cute girl carrying a platter full of free alcohol. 

The girls offer promotional Bud Light memorabilia such as t-shirts, sunglasses, beads, cups, mugs and more.  They travel around to festivals and parties hosted by loyal Bud Light consumers. By offering free samples and promotional goods, Bud Light plans on exposing new products to potential consumers.

The Bud Light Lime-RITAS

On my 21st birthday I was attending a Iowa Hawkeye tailgate party at Rodman's Sports Bar in Epworth, Iowa. The Bud Girls arrived to the party decked out in Bud Light gear, ready to give away free samples and promotional items. The girls were promoting the Bud Light Rita series of beverages which included Raz-ber-Rita, Mang-o-Rita, and the newest release, the Apple-ahhh-Rita. It was a huge success for Bud Light, everyone at the bar wanted to try the new flavors. They effectively exposed and created interest in their product to a wide variety of consumers that beforehand had little exposure.

My Birthday Experience

Eventually the girls found out it was my birthday and hooked me up with some free Bud Light gear. As a passionate marketing student I could not be more excited to experience this unique promotional approach first hand.  I had a great time celebrating and sampling beer with family and friends on my big day! It was a very special experience and I look forward to more unique promotions in the future!

Picture of me with the Bud Girls on my 21st Birthday.
Great Promotion. Great Beer. Great Friends. Great Day.

GAMEDAY! The Buzz with Bud Light Fan Cans

What are "Fan Cans" 

Bud Light Fan Cans were introduced across the country in 2009.  The concept is to sell cans of Bud Light that are packaged in colors that correspond to those of large universities. Fan Cans are a great way to show school spirit even though they have no affiliation to school logos or names. 

This black and yellow Bud Light would be strategically distributed around the country to target a particular audience of fans. This can will be targeted at a wide variety of football fans including Iowa Hawkeyes, Missouri Tigers, and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Photo By: The Man Eater

The Buzz

The Controversy over Bud Light Fan Cans

 This promotion did not settle well with some universities, they claimed Bud Light was making a wrongful association with the school by using the school colors as a promotion. Many of these universities said that the cans promote underage drinking.  The fact that over half college students are under the age of 21 raises concern as to who the promotion is actually targeting. This promotion has been quiet since its release in 2009. In my research, I found very few signs of advertisement or social media presence for the products. I took matters into my own hands and sent an e-mail to Bud Light to find out what is up with the Fan Cans.

Fan Cans Still Hot Commodity 

Through my research I was able to connect with customer service at Budlight.com via e-mail. I found out that Bud Light still produces and distributes fan cans.  However, many colleges have asked Bud Light not to promote the the beer around campus.  Bud Light has respected the decisions of the universities and withdrew the product from those cities. As the promotion continues to encourage school spirit around college campuses, Bud Light asks that you wait until you are 21 to consume alcohol and to do so responsibly.

Are Colored Cans Enough to Make Other Loyal Drinkers Switch to Bud Light?

Would college football fans stray from their favorite beer brands to be portrayed as a better football fan?

The fact that fan cans exist after years of criticism proves that the promotion is a success.  College students who drink light beer interchangeably would be more likely to grab fan cans off the shelf to help show their school spirit on game day.  I think that fan cans are a great way to sell more products and increase brand image that Bud Light has created as the perfect beer for football.

What do you think?

College Stadiums Selling Beer on Game Day

Wake Forest Joins The Party

Wake Forest University of Winston-Salem North Carolina, will be added to the list of colleges who plan on selling beer in the stadium for the 2014 football season.  According to newsobserver.com Wake Forest opened up the Top Hat Tavern at BB&T Field.  The tavern sold beer and wine during the teams home opener on September 6th.

Who Is Already At The Party?

Wake Forest will join the 21 colleges who currently serve alcohol in campus stadiums. 

 

Click HERE to view the colleges who have already brought beer into their stadiums! 

 

According to an ESPN.com article, colleges are looking for ways to increase revenue on game day. Serving beer, and other alcoholic beverages at the game is a perfect way to "Bring the Tailgate into the Stadium". 

 

 Bringing the Party Back Inside

 

The parking lot party outside of the stadium is crowded with fans and students anticipating the big game. As kickoff approaches, thousands of fans divert form the stadium and search for a flat screen TV to watch the game. Many of those fans find a local tavern or restaurant, order some food and beers to keep the party going. 

 

 AP Photo/The Star Tribune, David Jole "There will be 21 on-campus stadiums where beer sales will be permitted this season. According to a survey, about half of those schools' concessions revenue is derived from alcohol sales."

 

This theme is all to common with today's sports fans. Why pay for a high dollar ticket in the nose-bleed seats when you can enjoy the game with a beer in hand on a high definition flat-screen?  College stadiums that do serve alcohol say it is not only additional revenue, it also enhances the environment of the stadium. Serving beer in the stadium is a great way to pack the stands with fans who have prior been opting to enjoy the game on the flat-screen, not to mention the substantial increase in revenue!
