fattymattybrewing
Here is a sorely out of date list of beer tag lines used to market beers. Please contribute and cheers!
Beer taglines and marketing slogans “best-of”
- Amstel Light: The beer drinker’s light beer.
- Beck’s: Life Beckons
- Bud Light: Be yourself and make it a Bud Light.
- Budweiser: Wassup?!
(Remember this one?) - Budweiser: The king of beers.
(The king of watered-down yellow fizzy stuff) - Busch Beer: Head for the mountains.
- Coors: The silver bullet.
- Coors: Brewed with Pure Rocky Mountain Spring Water.
(What this tagline fails to mention is that macro-brewers make concentrated batches of beer then water it down to fuel the mass quantities) - Coors Light: The Coldest Tasting Beer In The World.
(With the beer this cold you won’t have to actually taste the beer) - Corona: Miles Away From Ordinary
- Foster’s: Australian for beer
- Michelob Ultra: Lose the carbs. Not the taste.
(I beg to differ) - Miller Beer: It’s Miller time!
(Not if I have my way) - Miller High Life: The champagne of bottled beer.
(Classic) - Miller Lite: Everything you always wanted in a beer. And less.
(Much Less) - Miller Lite: Tastes great, less filling.
(Tasteless and not great anything) - Molson: It Starts Here.
(Maybe, if it’s all there is to imbibe) - Old Milwaukee: Taste as great as it’s name.
- Samuel Adams: America’s World Class Beer.
- Schlitz: The beer that made Milwaukee famous.
And the last is the best, Beer 30: “Anytime is the right time.”
