TWO ROADS LAUNCHES NEW CONNECTICUT CAMPAIGN: "HAVE A BEER, CONNECTICUT"

CT always gets good-natured ribbing from non-denizens, including a few widely followed social media celebrities and comedians, so we're celebrating all the attention we get in this tongue-in-cheek, Road-Less-Traveled tribute to CT, quirks and all.

STRATFORD, Conn., April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 7th Two Roads Brewing launched a new Two Roads Brewing ad campaign "Have a Beer, Connecticut," a playful, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the Nutmeg State, created by its agency BRZoom. As Connecticut's largest craft beer brand, Two Roads is embracing the lovable quirks and infamous truths about its home turf – encouraging residents to laugh along with us, chill out, and own what makes the state unique, and, of course, crack open a cold one in the process.

The campaign delivers a series of rotating headlines that poke fun at local truths, and pokes fun at some not-so-true arrows thrown our way from national podcast celebrities and comedians we've seen and heard a lot of lately.  Headlines call out traffic on our notorious highways, our identity crisis being caught between NY and Boston, and other familiar conversation points you always hear in our State. Taglines include playful jabs like:

  • "We're bigger than Rhode Island!"
  •  "Proudly separating New York from Boston since 1788."
  •  "You'll miss us when you move to Florida."

Designed to be funny, relatable, and hyper-local, the ads celebrate what it really means to be a Nutmegger and beckons CT beer lovers to chill out, have a great beer like Two Roads, and don't take things too seriously.

The "Have a Beer, Connecticut" campaign will be seen across billboards, paid social ads, signage, point-of-sale, and throughout the Two Roads campus in Stratford. It's the brewery's largest Connecticut-focused campaign to date - built to spotlight the shared experiences, humor, and Nutmeg pride that connect us all.

So, wherever you are in the state—from the Quiet Corner to Greenwich Ave:

Have a laugh and Have a Beer, Connecticut.

Brand new flavors bring summer staples together for a first-of-its-kind flavor innovation from Pringles

CHICAGO, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Two things go hand in hand as the weather warms up: a crisp drink and a delicious snack. That's why the snacking masterminds at Pringles® tapped the brewing experts at Miller Lite for great tasting inspiration, debuting new limited-edition flavors inspired by beer-infused backyard barbecue favorites for a first-of-its-kind innovation from Pringles.

No need for a grill—limited-edition Pringles x Miller Lite crisps perfectly combine your favorite beer-infused barbeque staples, bringing all the best flavors of a cookout into a single can of snackable crisps. From Beer Can Chicken to Grilled Beer Brat, each mouthwatering Pringles flavor tastes like your favorite grilled foods and tantalizes taste buds with Miller Lite's hoppy, malt beer aroma.

"At Pringles, we're dedicated to bringing new, unexpected flavors that both surprise and satisfy our fans' cravings to the market, no matter the occasion," said Mauricio Jenkins, US Head of Marketing for Pringles. "That's why we came together with the brewing geniuses at Miller Lite to bring our two iconic brands together. These crisps marry the best flavors of summer into one delicious bite that we can't wait for fans to experience. We hope the new flavors kick off grilling season on a deliciously crispy note."

The iconic flavors synonymous with cookout season include:

  • Pringles® x Miller Lite Beer Can Chicken deliciously combines the flavor of savory roasted chicken complete with notes of garlic and onion with the authentic flavor of the Original Light Beer.
  • Pringles® x Miller Lite Grilled Beer Brat has that smokey grilled brat flavor you know and love, with notes of black pepper, caramelized onion and brown spice. The authentic flavor of the Original Light Beer comes through in a hoppy, malt beer aroma.

"Whether or not you're a grill-master, who doesn't enjoy a beer and crisps as a summer snack?" said Ann Legan, VP of Marketing, Miller Family of Brands. "We know fans already infuse Miller Lite's iconic flavor into grilled staples, so bringing those same flavors into an ultimate savory snack with Pringles felt like a seamless fit for fans to snack on at their backyard barbecues this summer. We hope our fans everywhere get the chance to try them."

Heineken® Japan transforms bars into gaming hubs to connect online communities in person

Aiming to bring gamers together, shut down servers were reactivated to create a unique space in which experiences could be shared and connections built

TOKYO, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Monday, March 17 saw Heineken® Japan K.K., which sells and distributes Japan's No.1 imported premium beer, Heineken®, hold a special event for the gaming community at Shot Bar Propaganda in Roppongi.

Bringing together gamers, influencers, and game fans, the event saw Heineken® repurpose the bar into a space where the connections of online communities could be extended into the real world. Often, when game servers are shut down, the sense of community that they've built is lost and, as champions of socialization, Heineken® recognized an opportunity to take a venue typically associated with socializing and create a truly unique offering.

With multiplayer gaming having long been a powerful way to bond with friends, meet new people, and form lasting friendships, it dispels the stereotype of gamers as isolated individuals. Now, the gap between the digital and physical worlds has been bridged through the use of technology that powers both the beer fridges and game servers, allowing deeper connections to be built and experiences shared.

Enjoying Heineken® beers, attendees were treated to a tournament-style Omen of Sorrow game, which featured heated battles, live commentary, and participation from some of the region's top gaming influencers – including winner TAKERA CHANNEL* who went on to comment "I thoroughly enjoyed Heineken®'s unique game event tonight and the opportunity to socialize with many people in a very relaxed atmosphere".

Comment from Shin Suda, Marketing Director, Heineken® Japan


"Heineken® is delighted to be collaborating with Omen of Sorrow to bring this unique event to Tokyo. With Japan being the world's most creative gaming market, we are proud to have been able to offer something new to our communities. By reviving a multiplayer functions game server, we believe that we have been able to reconstruct a place where friends who share common interests can naturally connect. Games and bars are two of the most important communities where people can connect so blending these worlds felt like a natural setting for socialization."

Led by the Heineken® brand, the Group offers more than 300 beers, craft beers and ciders for the international and domestic markets.
