Providence, R.I. – The Rhode Island Brewers Guild launched a new campaign this week to promote the local beer industry. The Guild has put together a 30-second television advertisement that will run on local stations from September through November. The ad features shots from Rhode Island’s various breweries located across the state.
“This campaign is an important step forward for our Guild, as we look to promote and celebrate the amazing contributions that Rhode Island’s breweries are making to the local beer scene,” said Brent Ryan, president of the Rhode Island Brewers Guild and Newport Storm Brewery. “Our goal is to educate both beer fans as well as the general public about this important and growing industry and to encourage all Rhode Islanders to think about choosing a beer brewed here before asking for something made elsewhere.”
The television commercial is part of a broader marketing campaign to promote Rhode Island’s brewing industry through the use of brochures, brewery tours, websites, social media, and local beer festivals. As part of this effort, the Guild will be hosting the first Ocean State Beer Festival on Sunday, Sept. 20, at Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island in Westerly.
The Rhode Island Brewers Guild is proud to unveil our new advertising campaign promoting Rhode Island's breweries. The ad will run on local TV during the next three months. Drink local, and remember – great beer is right here!
