About Grain Belt
The Grain Belt brand has changed a lot over the last 125 years. It’s changed owners, breweries, beers and even cities. It’s a classic, but it was getting lost in the cooler among newer beers. So we launched a campaign to help it find new friends by reviving its old motto, The Friendly Beer, and turning that friendly talk into friendly actions.
We kicked off the campaign by taking a typical manifesto video and making it a lot friendlier.
