This Emergency Drinking Beer from Wild Heaven Beer has gone viral for its [humorous packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-waves) and name.

This easy-drinking pilsner is brewed using [citrus zest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corona-sunbrew-citrus-cerveza) and features Portuguese sea salt and lemongrass for a bright and complex flavor profile. While the branding may capture one's attention and encourage consumers to buy the product, its vibrant and refreshing flavor will mean this session beer isn't reserved for emergencies only. Its low alcohol content and crisp flavor illustrate that Emergency Drinking Beer is perfect for a hot summer day in its native Atlanta, Georgia.

What really makes this product stand out is it's packaging. Emergency Drinking Beer draws on the survivalist mentality that [outdoorsy individuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amber-harvest-lager) will connect with. In this case, that mentality is referenced in an ironic, humorous way. This kind of branding strategy has proven to be successful with Millennial consumers who reject conventional marketing tactics.
