My mother always told me to be careful who you step on to be successful.
First it was a shot at peach pumpkin ale in a Super Bowl commercial, that ran just days after AB-InBev purchased craft brewery Elysian. A brewery that actually brewed a peach pumpkin ale they called out in the multi-millon dollar commercial spot.
Today, the shit-talking marketing team at Anheuser-Busch is targeting watermelon wheat. As you can imagine, 21st Amendment, and their many fans, have taken offense.
While it’s not a Super Bowl spot, it looks like the marketing dollars are paying off. Everyone is talking about it right?
Just check the replies to 21A on Twitter…
Nobody cheers for the guy who brings Budweiser…
Amen to that
Says the company who has Melon-rita trademarked.
No kidding!
Are Budweiser’s ad managers living on a planet that’s 15 years behind the rest of the beer drinking world?
Who wants to remind Bud about this crap they produce?
