From Bud Light to Stella Artois, the best Super Bowl LIX beer commercials had one thing in common. Cracking open a cold one came with a side of laughter.
While one side soared as their team flapped their way to victory and the other side’s dream of NFL history crumbled, the beers were flowing for both sides. Although the Monday after the big game might be National Hangover Day, the fun and funny best Super Bowl LIX beer commercials last much longer than the few seconds on screen.
Overall, a few themes emerged from the various brands. Big names, famous faces, and a dash of humor resonated with audiences. Whether it was a light beer, a non-alcoholic variety, or a big hoppy IPA was sipped all night long, people associated those beverages with enjoying the moment.
Ranking the best Super Bowl LIX beer commercials.
Bud Light
While Bud Light’s commercial premiered prior to the big game, everyone was happy to watch it again. Airing later in the night, a few people might have wanted to call in an audible to Post Malone and Shane Gills to bring some life to that party. With warmer days ahead, who is the big man on the cul de sac in your neighborhood?
Stella Artois
The idea of the “other David” might have seemed a little far fetched, it seemed that Stella Artois was willing to pay Matt Damon’s salary to have him in their Super Bowl ad. Guess the real king of beverages is the smooth beer, not just another morning brew.
Michelob Ultra
Michelob Ultra has long highlighted its connection to active lifestyles and sports. Given that the pickleball trend is still going strong, this playful ringer ad captured the fun. People might not be quite as diligent in searching for a 12-pack to wager, but enjoying a beer after a game is often on the table.
Coors Light
The Coors Light Case of the Mondays has been brewing longer than just one day. The beer brand’s sloths captured why some people might be moving a little slow at work today. Hopefully no one makes that big spelling mistake today.
Budweiser
Budweiser and its iconic Clydesdales are always associated with the big game. This year’s add played into the nostalgia vibe that has taken over the food and beverage world. It might not have received a big laugh, but it was a nice moment.
Was there a big winner in the Super Bowl LIX beer commercials? Not necessarily, but one aspect seemed to emerge. Light lagers and sessionable beers were on the screen. When will that big hoppy IPA or dark stout get its 30 seconds of fame?
