Budweiser is celebrating American pride all summer long with the release of its bold, new patriotic-themed line of cans and summer campaign. Released in time for Memorial Day weekend, Budweiser’s three new limited-edition cans celebrate American freedom and the start of what it says will be a “historic summer,” featuring a red, white, and blue design emblazoned with stars and stripes.
“This season, we are looking forward to being at the center of quintessential summer moments, from family reunions to baseball games, and celebrating getting closer to normalcy,” says Renaldo Chapman, VP, Marketing at Budweiser. “With the launch of the patriotic cans, Budweiser will be there as friends and families create new and much-missed memories together and enjoy summer moments both big and small, all while supporting Folds of Honor. We are proud to continue working with this monumental organization to further support our military community.”

“We are once again grateful to Budweiser for helping to provide academic scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members,” says Lt Col Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of Folds of Honor. “Budweiser is committed to assisting those individuals that deserve and need our help. Memorial Day weekend also celebrates Patriot Golf Days, the largest nationwide grassroots golf fundraisers that aids students and veterans. This patriotic-themed campaign is the perfect complement to that celebration.”
In addition to the product launch, Budweiser will debut its new national summer commercials celebrating America and summer moments featuring the patriotic cans across TV, digital, and social.
