A Delicious Ale of the Brightest Amber
We drink it, we celebrate it, can you imagine a barbeque without it?

Australia just wouldn’t be complete without a good old XXXX beer in hand. Every Aussie child will remember growing up around their dads having a beer in hand. And it will most probably be none other than the Aussie icon, XXXX, Australia’s favourite social beverage.

This particular brew has been around since 1857, when the first brewery was constructed in Castlemaine, Queensland. The Castlemaine brewery came about when two young men, Quinlan and Donnelly, wanted to share their love of beer with Australia. After the unforeseen death of Quinlan, his wife, took on his dream and 1878 the brewery began brewing in Milton.

The first batch of beer was ready for sale and XXX Sparkling Ale (given an extra X in 1916 when the brewing process improved) was released to the expectant public. This ale was a hit and from that moment on, we Australians fell in love with the brand.

Mr Fourex, the mascot and face of XXXX beer was introduced in 1924 to launch some support to XXXX bitter ale. Throughout the years XXXX continued to brew and launch more exciting flavours of beer. XXXX even launched a beer to sponsor the Commonwealth Games in 1982.

In 2006, 30 international cricketing legends hit the sand for the most Aussie interpretation of the game - the first XXXX GOLD Beach Cricket Tri Nations Series.

XXXX today is more popular than ever! It is the only drink that truly represents mateship and the never say die attitude.
After a hard day at work, every man, comes home looking forward to this ice cold beverage. So how do so many people know of this famous Aussie icon? Because of no other, than the famous XXXX jingle.

I can feel a XXXX coming on
Got the taste for it, just can’t wait for it
I can feel a XXXX coming on
Recently a survey was under taken showing the high consumption rates of Australian alcohol. The highest 4 are XXXX Gold with 12.4

    In 1982, AB launched Bud Light, which was extremely successful because (1) firstly, it was targeted at the core users of light beer i.e. 25-44 year old upscale professionals. Lite on the other hand had chosen to stay off-strategy and continue their old campaign targeting 21-34 year old males with blue-collar occupations. (2) Secondly, it positioned itself as the light beer with superior quality for this target or upscale professionals. Budweiser’s brand equity of being a superior beer and the Clydesdale spot served to reinforce their positioning.…

    Beer: Beer was not invented, it was discovered. Exactly when the first beer was brewed is unknown but there was almost certainly no beer before 10,000 BCE. The rise of beer was closely associated with the domestication of the cereal grains rom which it is made and the adoption of farming. Beer originated in the Fertile Crescent in Egypt and Mesopotamia. To beer drinkers in the Neolithic period, beer’s ability to intoxicate and induce a state of altered consciousness seemed magical. This caused them to believe beer was a gift from the Gods. Since it was a gift from the gods, it was presented as a religious offering in religious ceremonies, agricultural fertility rites, and in funerals by the Sumerians and Egyptians. One turning point in history is that beer might have played a role in the adoption of agriculture, according to some anthropologists.…

    There is growing global concern about the increase in levels of binge drinking, which is now becoming one of the most common forms of drug abuse in Australia. Many people are now dependant on alcohol, and go out with the intentions of drinking large amounts of it to get drunk. These actions usually result in things such as violent behaviour, taking stupid risks like drink driving, and other alcohol related accidents which can leave many dead. This disgusting practice must be controlled, or stopped as soon as possible, before more of the people that are closest to us are lost forever.…

    The ethos in any advertisement for Budweiser is that they are known as the king of beers. Many people know around the world of Budweiser and their logo. This gives them the ability to get viewers hooked on the advertisement from the start by just showing a logo. In the first Budweiser advertisement I looked at there are two Caucasian males having a good time after a game of golf. In the advertisement it says "The best part of an active afternoon is the relaxation that follows. Nothing like talking over the game, over a bottle of Bud”. This appeals to the viewer that may be finishing up a great day on the course and the ad tells you that there is no better way to finish it up other than sitting down and drinking a cold Budweiser. It also says "when you know your beer, it 's bound to be Bud" which says that if you know the great taste of beer then you can expect it coming from a Budweiser. The ethos in this advertisement comes from Anheuser-Busch 's statement "the beer brewed by the costliest process known... the beer so superior that it has pleased more people than any other beer in history". This gives Anheuser-Busch the credibility that their product is superior to any competing brands. It also gives the reader the impression that their ads are worth reading or watching.…
