It's a fact that our taste buds change with age and to acknowledge this, Beck's Brewery created Beck's 70+, a beer exclusively made for the taste preferences of more mature consumers. This beer embraces a more bitter taste for more advanced palates and it positions itself as an aspirational product that adults will want to try when they get older.
To introduce Beck's 70+ to the world, Beck's Brewery teamed up with AKQA to create an anti-ageist campaign and an exclusive event at the Gop Tun Festival, where some VIPs over 70 will sample the beverage. "Aging well is being able to continue enjoying all the most delicious experiences in life – including a great beer. It is a dialogue with the pro-aging culture movement, which understands that age does not limit people’s desires and aspirations," says Rodrigo Barbosa, Creative Director at AKQA.
