In its latest ad, which is set to run at this year's Super Bowl, Anheuser-Busch dove into the real meaning of "let's grab a beer." The ad features a montage of different events where a much-needed drink is had. In one clip, a bride and groom share a laugh as they shelter from the rain at their outdoor wedding. In another, a man losing his job is invited out for a drink with a coworker.
All the clips share one thing in common: the act of getting a drink serves as a message of love and friendship. The ad thoughtfully explores the idea that "getting a beer" is more than just beer, and that's something that consumers are missing in the midst of the pandemic.
