It’s not the worst choice of product, given the beer’s ties to the region. But as much as Rolling Rock is Pennsylvanian, so is Yuengling, and probably more so in the rural areas at that time. Yuengling gets more (and better) ratings than Rolling Rock on ratings app Untappd, but both beers get a home state boost. Yuengling gets 50% more ratings in Pennsylvania than the national average, and Rolling Rock enjoys 25% more checkins than usual. And if you’re really going to get micro-regional about it, the movie might have been in Iron City territory.
unbelievable how Michael Cimino slept on the uptappd ratings for these beers.

No matter how many fails they have with these side projects, they just keep going don't they? The pitch for this one seems particularly poor. "Will use beer as the lens with which it approaches all elements of beer culture."

As the American conception of beer evolves, so do we, its drinkers and critics.
October aims to capture the spirit, ambition, and wort-soaked labor of the gambrinus pursuit — the making and drinking of the good life. Through essays, travels, events, and an objective look at what makes beer so damn good, our hope is that you’ll find resonance here, something of unusual quaffability, as part of the drinking class.
Led by Condé Nast, Pitchfork, Good Beer Hunting, and BeerGraphs, with support from ZX Ventures, we’re bringing together a group of people with expertise in publishing, culture, and of course, beer. Our goal is to tell stories at the intersections where beer becomes part of a bigger picture, as it does in both past and present. So while we’ll be ambitious in our view of the future, forgive us for being a bit nostalgic at times too.
That feeling is baked right into our name. A few months ago, just as we started replacing the sweaters in storage with beach towels, the vision of this new venture started to unfold. A small team worked through the summer to prepare for launch, perfectly timed with that time of year when beer starts to pair especially well with seasonal smells, temperatures, and experiences. Every fall invites a sense of self-reflection of the year behind, and a look at the year ahead. That’s as true for life as it is for beer — and that became October.

Back in Reno, there was a somewhat well known hipster about town who worked at one of the city's most popular microbreweries. Long story short: he was really into this whole thing of music and craft beer pairing. He even wrote a blog about it. This was at least five years ago, so I guess the dude was an innovator of sorts.

"It’s cool to hear you talk about both Phil Elverum and Carly Rae.
I love hip-hop, too. I love watching interviews with Tupac. He’s very eloquent and he’s respectful."

“Pepsi was way ahead of the curve,” now says Taylor, a professor of social science and musicology at UCLA and the author of several books on music and capitalism.http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1431-how-pepsi-used-pop-music-to-build-an-empire/
http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1431-how-pepsi-used-pop-music-to-build-an-empire/
at first i picked this out cos i've been listening to Negativland's "Dispepsi" this week. which is not mentioned at all in this article, of course. it would probably run counter to the article's central focus, promoting a former Pepsi executive's burgeoning career writing about music marketing. choke on these final sentences:
Pepsi also recently opened the Kola House in Manhattan, a club and cocktail lounge that serves as a “modern hub for consumers to share social and immersive experiences that were anchored in the exploration of our cola’s artisanal craft and flavor.” LCD Soundsystem played its opening in September. In front of an invite-only crowd with Swizz Beats and JB Smoove, playing with no logos behind them are anything, you could barely tell it was put on by Pepsi. In a way, it was transcendent.

In 2015, young R&B phenom Jamal Lyon inked a major endorsement deal with Pepsi. He got his own primetime spot directed by “Empire” creator Lee Daniels, joining the ranks of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, Kanye West, David Bowie, Papa Roach, and more who’ve done marquee ad campaigns for Pepsi. The commercial features Lyon on his way to perform a show, slamming a Pepsi on a New York subway. The train’s all pop-locking and mugging with hyperrealistic joy, alive with the Pepsi Generation once again.Of course, this didn’t really happen. Or, it did happen, but technically not in real life. Such is the genius of the Pepsi-Cola Company and its marketing department, who placed this meta ad inside the a three-episode arc on season two of Fox’s “Empire.” The fictional Jamal Lyon (played by Jussie Smollett) landing an endorsement deal with Pepsi in a fake-but-real commercial (yes, directed by Lee Daniels) is perhaps the most self-aware and self-fulfilling campaign in the history of Pepsi’s unscrupulous advertising department.
