I love "Entourage," but it's always bugged me that the boys drink Budweiser. I'm a Milwaukee guy, and St. Louis beer (not to mention baseball) just isn't my thing.
I do, though, respect and admire the sponsorship and creative marketing of Anheuser-Busch. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see a few bottles of Coors Light at the Chase mansion during this past week's episode. Sure, it's not a "Milwaukee" beer but under the umbrella of MillerCoors so I consider it one of our own. And, again, I love the product placement. Nice work.
In other MillerCoors news today, earlier this summer, MillerCoors announced plans for a new company focused on craft and import beers. Today, the company announced its new moniker. Tenth and Blake Beer Company. The 10th Street Brewery in Milwaukee brews Leinenkugel's and various specialty beers. And Blake Street in Denver is home to the Blue Moon Brewing Company at the Sandlot. These facilities will be primary sources of many of the company's brews, while serving as incubators of ideas and future beers.
Finally, back to "Entourage." In case you were wondering, that tequila Turtle is repping is real. And the story of how Avion got onto the show is a good one. Read the NYPost story here.
