Brewers Association sends Peyton Manning case of craft beer
Now that Peyton Manning has made his love of a particular brand of beer so clear, other brewers are trying to get the Super Bowl-winning quarterback to suck down their suds.
In fact, the Brewers Association is trying to capitalize on a potential publicity opportunity by sending Manning a case of craft beer to get him interested in other brands rather than just Budweiser:

– Craft Lager (American Lager) | Upslope Brewing Co. | Boulder, CO
– Colorado Kolsch (German-style Kolsch) | Steamworks Brewing Co. | Durango, CO

You’ll notice that many of the beers are from Colorado.
Following his Super Bowl win over the Carolina Panthers, Manning gave two separate shoutouts to Budweiser in interviews. The mentions were said to have given the company over $3 million worth of brand exposure. Though Manning did not directly get paid for the mentions, he reportedly has a financial interest in Budweiser.
