Budweiser went full patriotic in its 2026 Super Bowl commercial just in time for the nation’s 250th birthday, which coincides with the company’s 150th anniversary.
Titled “American Icons,” the ad features the brewing company’s iconic Clydesdale helping an American bald eagle grow to maturity to the tune of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s rock classic “Free Bird.” Take a look:
“As we celebrate Budweiser’s 150th anniversary and America’s 250th anniversary, we knew we had to rise to the occasion in a way only Budweiser can. ‘American Icons’ brings our heritage to life through powerful stories with Budweiser Clydesdales and an American Bald Eagle,” said Todd Allen, senior vice president of Budweiser marketing at Anheuser-Busch, in a statement.
“This year’s announcement will leave fans amazed and proud to enjoy a Budweiser while celebrating our shared milestone moments,” the statement continued.
Several social media accounts celebrated the announcement with patriotic enthusiasm upon its release on Tuesday.
