Budweiser 2012 Super Bowl Commercial, Return of the King

Budweiser reenacts history with its Super Bowl XLVI ad. The company reminds us that it has been around since 1876 but that Prohibition during the 1920s and 1930s resulted in their beer not being available for 13 years. A young man runs down a road, shouting that Prohibition is over. People start to react: One man blows the dust off of a bottle opener and a barman turns over the ‘Open’ sign. The Budweiser Clydesdales pull a wagon that is filled with boxes upon boxes of Budweiser beer, which they deliver to a bar that is full of people waiting to imbibe.
