Open a Ochakovo comrade!
By Rocky | November 14, 2007
Here’s a bit of a treat, we don’t usually get to see too much Russian TV. Here is a commercial for Ochakovo Beer which actually originates from Moscow and are the country’s third biggest brewer. They got into a bit of hot water a few years back after the trade ministry alleged they used banned chemicals in their brews, but this was quashed in the courts. The ministry was in the end forced to take out newspaper advertisements stating the beer was perfectly safe to drink. More recently the brewery has launched a non pasteurised beer that contains live yeast and more nutrients. It needs to be drunk fast as the beer will go off but it’s vitimins and minerals are meant to be good for you. The beer is delivered to the bottleshop in steel kegs then poured into plastic ready labeled plastic bottles when sold the beer can stay in the keg for up to 14 days and must be drunk within three days of being repackaged. Due to the need to keep this beer fresh it is not found outside Moscow and plans are a foot to expand to other Russian centres like Krasnodar and Penza.

i’ll have one Tui and a National Park for beer
By Rocky | November 11, 2007
Tui is one of the favorite beers across the ditch in New Zealand. Tui is originally from the small North Island town of Mangatainoka and is in the process of spending a huge amount of money refurbishing a magnificent park around their soon to be opened museum which is on the site of their old brewery. They are planting 4000 square metres of lawn and 2000 native trees. Tui was founded by Henry Wagstaff in 1889 and its biggest selling beer is the tasty East India Ale, the brewery is now controlled by DB Breweries. While we wait for it to open later this year, we can sit back and watch this great You Tube commercial.

Good things come to those who wait
By wattsy | October 8, 2007
Do good things come to those who wait? Well according to the makers of Guinness they do. Check out this clever ad above for Ireland’s favorite beer, there is not much beer in it but there are some pretty clever computer animated effects of evolution in reverse. Charles Darwin may have left beer out of his theory of evolution but it is probably is what he was on about.

Conan O’Brian - Miller Chill Japanese style
By Rocky | September 16, 2007
Well I don’t think it’s a real commercial for Miller’s new beer Miller Chill for the Japanese market, in fact I don’t even think they sell Miller amongst the Sapporo, Ashai and Kirin but it’s a bit of fun anyway. It’s TV talk show host Conan O’Brien’s musician side kick Max Weinberg doing a bit of a sketch taking the piss out of Japanese advertising… you should enjoy it! cheers.
