August 3, 2020 – Anheuser-Busch, America's leading brewer, today announced that together with its iconic brands – Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob ULTRA, Stella Artois, BON V!V spiked seltzer, and the Brewers Collective craft portfolio – it is launching a blockbuster virtual festival to bring people together for International Beer Day on August 7, 2020. If you didn't already have plans to celebrate this global fête for beer - you do now!
Leveraging its portfolio of industry-leading brands like never before, Anheuser-Busch will host a robust schedule of exciting programming at www.InternationalBeerFest.org and on Anheuser-Busch social channels (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) beginning at 6:00 pm ET to bring people together in a bold, new way.
“Core to our mission at Anheuser-Busch, we want to bring people together for meaningful experiences and amazing content over a beer or seltzer,” said Azania Andrews, Vice President of Connections at Anheuser-Busch. “It's so important to put people first and meet them where they are – especially during this time – and so I hope that this event can be a moment for people to take a break from their week and just have some fun safely together. The lineup features everything from beer tastings to brewery tours, live music, cooking tips and more, so there really is something for everyone to enjoy.”
To further inspire the spirit of coming together, Anheuser-Busch is offering new ways for people to enjoy their favorite beers during the virtual event with custom e-commerce promotions on platforms like Drizly and others. During the Festival, viewers in select states will be encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to order their favorite products from the comfort of home.
On Drizly, consumers will notice a full 360 marketing campaign with unique banners, promo codes, and social posts. In addition, the brands participating in the Festival will offer consumers a comprehensive E-commerce Product Finder on their websites. This represents a huge step forward for Anheuser-Busch as the company continues to innovate around ways to bring products closer to the fingertips of people across the country.
The International Beer Festival will include several exciting can't-miss sessions:
