An Ode to the Classic Beer Commercial…

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting the St. Louis area, you know we really love our beer. And one of the classic brands to come out of the area, is Stag.
 

These commercials were made on spec for portfolio purposes. I wanted these to hearken back to ye olden days when commercials were just plain silly and fun without necessarily featuring a name talent. “I love you man, but you’re still not getting my Bud.” And c’mon, let’s not forget the frogs.

The idea is to show all three commercials during a sporting event, with the last one having a bit more of a… let’s say, story impact… ~oooo foreshadowing~…
