The Bryan Cranston and Tracee Ellis Ross SHINE In The New MTN Dew Ad

MTN DEW today officially debuted its epic :30 second Super Bowl ad – featuring Bryan Cranston and Tracee Ellis Ross. The spot was first revealed this morning on Instagram by Tracee – check it out HERE!

The commercial spotlights MTN DEW Zero Sugar, the brand’s newest beverage, and reimagines the classic movie The Shining in a way that only DEW can – proving that some things can be “as good as the original.”

Michelob ULTRA Goes Pure Gold

Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold unveiled its highly anticipated Super Bowl commercial. The organic beer’s commercial announces its new 6 For 6-Pack program which allows consumers to join Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold’s mission to help farmers transition to organic. A portion of sales from each purchase of a 6-pack of Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold will go directly to farmers looking to transition to organic – so you can do good while stocking up for your Super Bowl party!

Less than one percent of American farmland is organic, but with more and more people switching to organic food and beverages, the leading organic beer brand recognizes the importance of making organic ingredients accessible.

Something Better Than MTN DEW

MTN DEW introduces MTN DEW Zero Sugar, a new product that offers all the bold charge and flavor of the original MTN DEW, now without any sugar. MTN DEW Zero Sugar is for fans who love the exhilarating taste of DEW and anyone who enjoys carbonated beverages. The new thirst-quenching beverage is available in stores nationwide as of Monday, January 13.

“This is a big moment for DEW. We are excited to give customers a zero-sugar offering. Because our fans are uncompromising with the DEW they know and love, we knew we had to pull off a formulation that would preserve the great taste of the original,” said Nicole Portwood, Vice President of Marketing, MTN DEW. “MTN DEW Zero Sugar delivers on a bold flavor and ever-evolving consumer preferences.”

Guinness Stock Ale Aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels

A stock ale is traditionally a blend of two different beer styles. Guinness Stock Ale Aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels is the endgame of a Guinness Barleywine and a Guinness Imperial Stout – both brewed in Baltimore and aged in Bulleit Bourbon barrels before being blended together.

The high gravity stout and malty barleywine lead to a hearty and full-bodied beer with notes of nutty chocolate, raisins, roasted barley and sweet dark fruit with an ABV of 10%. Aromas of vanilla, coffee, stone fruit and ripe berries come off of this intense and luxuriant stock ale. The best way to enjoy all of these complex flavors and aromas is to sip the beer slowly and savor it at a leisurely pace – with respect to its double digit ABV. Guinness Stock Ale Aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels is shelves across the country for a limited time.

Guinness Over The Moon Milk Stout

Guinness Over The Moon Milk Stout is one of the newest beer from the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore, MD. It’s a full-bodied stout that has a creamy mouthfeel, full of flavor with hints of roasted malt, milk chocolate and rich coffee. Its roasted barley character pairs nicely with most grilled or roasted meats, while its subtle sweetness and notes of chocolate and coffee blend nicely with a wide range of desserts like pecan pie, chocolate chip cookies or even s’mores. The stout is available nationally for a limited time.

The boxes, sold under the name Cremsiffino (an anagram for Smirnoff Ice), are available for purchase starting today for $20 (plus shipping) from giftagram.com/smirnofficeboxes.
