Really? Which ad is that. Its worse from Guinness I reckon, most craft beer drinkers I know drink Guinness when theres no craft available where as they would have drank Heineken or Bud a few years ago. I think Guinness move to embrace it with their porter is a better move.

The one where they have the 2 young brewers in their experimental brewery talking about local ingredients and passion etc

The bud one appeals to their audience perfectly.

Yeah it suits Budweiser fine, it reinforces what people who'd never try craft anyway think.

The add is pretty funny & bang on point. We've become a bunch of bearded beer sniffing snobs. We deserve to have the piss ripped of us.  ;D

Interesting though. A rule of thumb is when you are the big business you do not mention your competition minnows ever in a public way because all publicity is considered good and as the big business you can lose more than you win. It is the reverse when you are the minnow.

I thought they were a little cheeky with the Smithwick's Squirrel ad as well "after generations of brewing, you know how to craft the perfect pint.....Experience, its what you do with it that counts"
