Message MYJELLOMISFIT beers 1 º 13:44 Wed 2/4/2015 Originally posted by bitbucket Had a brief chat with a former marketing VP for Miller. His thoughts: 1. The ad was created long before the Elysian acquisition, so the whole "Pumpkin Peach" thing was a non-issue when the ad was written. 2. The idea behind the ad was "be proud of who you are," which he applauds, BUT... the execution was pretty horrible. He says he imagines that the people at AB were really excited to get the the ad in front of the Superbowl audience, but the day after had to be a horrible experience in the marketing department. So, as I’ve already said, there really is such a thing as bad publicity. Correct. There is bad publicity. It still makes the monster money. I think in general everyone who is upset with the ad (and it was intentionally produced to insult a stereotype) already refuse to drink InBusch. I think Bud is trying really hard to keep hold of it’s drinkers, not discourage us (who have already departed from supporting the monster) from continuing to not drink Bud.
Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 13:58 Wed 2/4/2015 A lot of places say they wont sell but when $$$$$$$$$$ comes knocking, people go "well, it can’t hurt to listen" then they go "well, they will still brew OUR beer under OUR name but more people will get to try it" and then they sell. Pretty much how this is going down, from what I know.

Pretty much how this is going down, from what I know. I find that realistic but sad. Still dont see why Deschutes would sell..even in the huge supermarkets they have great shelf space..as much up here as Bud and Bud light have. If AB got Deschutes its all over for up and coming breweries..its done

With their established reputation, the shelf space is open for the taking.
Message CLevar places 23 º 22:53 Wed 2/4/2015 So now, when an inquiring mind who saw that commercial is intrigued enough to delve into the world of "craft" beer they see 16 pages (and that’s just this thread) of people exactly fitting the stereotype that the commercial portrayed...think that person is more likely to A) Run away, or B) Trade for a kBBSSBBs and grow a neck beard?
