Yuengling To Push Advertising 20% In 2013

Yuengling is now distributed in 14 states. Each year they are growing by leaps and bounds. Yuengling Lager sales jumped 40.6%  in the last year (ending in August). That places Traditional Lager to the 19th largest U.S. beer brand.

What does that mean? A bigger ad budget. Expect to see a lot more of Yuengling advertisements in the near future. According to AdAge, America’s oldest brewery will spend 20% more on adverts in 2013.  The spots are being produced in Harrisburg, PA at Pavone, Yuengling’s ad agency.

Guinness Launches “Made Of More” Campaign With A Cloud [Video]

Diageo, owners of Guinness, gave the world a sneak peek of a new video advertising campaign featuring a little white cloud. It’s a mini film, meant to inspire. (Perhaps with a glass of Guinness?)

As the film progresses, the cloud engages with people, places and objects below, seeing itself reflected in mirrored skyscraper, darkening as it approaches the scene of a fierce industrial fire before the dramatic climax. The cloud then gently drifts back, ocean-bound, and gradually mergesinto a swirling pint of Guinness, before resolving with the new endline Guinness. Made of More.

The video ads will run in the United Kingdom. [PressRelease]

Smoked Vanilla Is Red Brick’s Last Brick Mason This Year

Red Brick Brewing (Atlanta, GA) will release Smoked Vanilla Gorilla this week. That will be the last Brick Mason release this year. This is at least the second time the brewery has had to shift the Brick Mason lineup.  Copper thieves caused the first change in January.

Old Stock is 100% barrel aged, and in the barrels now (filled in the same barrels used for 17th Anniversary) and is looking to be released in January, 2013.  Pfeffernüsse Porter, and Saison might join Brick Mason in 2013.
