Ideas, Inspiration and a Creative Perspective on Marketing from Inside the Embassy


Oh snap.

Our neighbor, Schlafly Beer, came up with Election 08 candidate-themed beer taps.

When the Schlafly Tap Room hosted
a veep-debate gathering the other week, in-house graphic designer
Troika Brodsky decided on a whim to “whip up some taps and posters” to
coincide with the night’s theme. Thus, for one night only, Schlafly’s
Hefeweizen was rechristened Hefe Biden. Pale Ale became Palin Ale. The
seasonal Oktoberfest became Baracktoberfest (“with a distinctly hopeful
aftertaste,” according to the poster.)

And as for McCain? “I was completely stumped on McCain,” Brodsky
admits. He finally settled on McCain’s Maverick American Pale Ale.

 

A pretty hilarious take on politics and bar culture – whatever your politics may be. Also, it's not a bad take on crafting promotions that speak to current events.
