Anheuser-Busch Launches Best Damn Brewing Co. Brand

​Anheuser-Busch has officially launched the Best Damn Brewing Co., a brand platform with a simple mission: “to bring consumers the Best Damn thing they’ve had all day,” according to company officials. The brand’s first product, on shelves now, Best Damn Root Beer is the first hard root beer produced by Anheuser-Busch. It’s a full-flavored, well-balanced take on a favorite classic taste, aged on real vanilla beans during the brewing process, officials add.

“We’ve seen a growing consumer interest in sweeter taste profiles, and we jumped at the opportunity to brew an easy-drinking, hard root beer,” says Rashmi Patel, vice president, Share of Throat, Anheuser-Busch. “People like beers that are approachable, down-to-earth and don’t take themselves too seriously, so Best Damn Brewing Co. aims to bring all the flavor without any of the fuss.”

Best Damn Brewing Co. exists within the portfolio of Anheuser-Busch brands. To support the launch of Best Damn Root Beer, the brand plans to use some of Anheuser-Busch’s most iconic media assets, such as a 70-foot Jumbotron in Times Square, and tap into Anheuser-Busch’s extensive investment in sports properties, including over 80 professional team and stadium/venue partnerships.

“We’re constantly testing new ideas and we’re excited to bring more to the market through the Best Damn Brewing Co. brand in 2016,” adds Patel.

Best Damn Root Beer is available at bars, clubs and restaurants, as well as grocery and liquor stores across the U.S. in six-packs of bottles, 16-oz. cans, and on draught.
