Craft beer brands are renowned for their edgy and unique marketing tactics, and Kosciuszko Pale Ale's new ‘Beer with Altitude’ campaign is no exception. The gamified ski commercial is bold and bright, centered around experiences and sports competition, a sentiment Koscuiszko says is "on brand."
The video begins by showing the beer bottle -- which features a traditional design of mountains and grass -- but upon zooming in, viewers can see a vintage-styled ski hill where fireworks and mythical monsters are roaming about. Skiiers have vibrant trails following them and leap over shark tanks to collect virtual prizes. The Beer with Altitude campaign even has an outer space scene featuring an astronaut koala. The video ends by zooming out of the bottle and showing present-day skiers enjoy a cold brew on the hill.
