Storyline
Most celebrities are happy to admit that they do endorsements because they require a small amount of work and pay handsomely. Will Ferrell, on the other hand, decided to make commercials for regional beer brand Old Milwaukee because he likes “good, crappy beer.” The series of ads aired mainly in local markets. In 2012, he starred in a Super Bowl commercial for the brand as well, but it only aired in North Platte, Nebraska.
Old Milwaukee is a brand of American dry lager owned by the Pabst Brewing Company and consists of four different brews—Old Milwaukee Lager, Old Milwaukee Light, Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic, and Old Milwaukee Ice. Old Milwaukee is brewed throughout the USA and various packages are currently distributed in all 50 US states, many Canadian provinces, and in select international markets.
