With 2023 now but a memory, we look back at the year’s funniest beer commercial, as well as at an Alaskan Airlines offer “we couldn’t refuse.”
Funniest Beer Ad of 2023
Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes had too much time on his hands during offseason in 2023 when he decided to film an ad promoting his favorite beer. Unfortunately, due to league contracts, NFL regulations and red tape, promoting that beer was not an option.
He could however, promote, bear.
When I’m on the golf course, I always need my Coors Light Bear,” Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback Mahomes told Beer & Beyond. “It’s great to work with one of my favorite brands, especially during the off-season when I can really find a moment to chill.”
Words to Drink By
”There clearly is very little momentum behind craft beer at chain retail at the moment, continuing a string of several years where this is the case.” – Bart Watson, chief economist, Brewers Association.
Alaska Airlines Offers Complimentary Non-Alcoholic Beer
They had us at “complimentary” and with the advent of Dry January, Alaska Airlines has partnered Best Day Brewing, and they’ve begun offering their non-alcoholic Kölsch on all flights for free.
Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Best Day Brewing holds the title of the #1 selling non-alcoholic Kölsch in the United States. Non-GMO, Kosher and vegan, Best Day Kölsch is a great buzz-free alternative for those who love beer but chose to stay clearheaded, with its toasty malt character and lighter hoppiness and only 55 calories per can.
“We are always looking for healthier food and beverage options that allow our guests to maintain their lifestyles without sacrificing the taste or quality of the product they’re consuming,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, Alaska Airlines managing director of guest products. “Best Day Brewing achieves that with its craft non-alcoholic beers founded right here on the West Coast.”
