Budweiser Canada

The Long Version

And More!

That was inspiring. Even more so (forgive me) than Adriana Lima and the Teleflora ad.

But still, selling Budweiser to Canadians? What next, pitching Camaros to Germans?

Bud sucks, but that ad is wonderful.

What is Budweiser's connection to Belgium? If there is a joke I'm missing it. (Budvar is Czech, I thought.)

The stock was a winner if you owned it prior to the InBev merger, the beer........not so much.  I used my returns to by better beer than Bud, though I'm too cheap to spring for the really good Belgian stuff.

It would be nice to have a promotion like this in the U.S. for KIDS, though a beer sponsorship for kids might not be kosher.  Maybe serve the beer to the parents and see if everyone glosses over the inappropriate sponsorship.  Stella Artois or even Labatts would be preferred.

Yeah, and it's a situation that I personally identify with: as any rec league player will tell you, 9 times out of 10 you play to an empty rink, and that tenth time it's some player's foolish girlfriend or mother, freezing her ass off watching amateurs play poorly. It must be cool to have a real crowd cheering for you.
