Countdown to Christmas Day

Lone Star Beer creates first mosquito-zapping neon bar sign

Texas is known for having aggressive mosquitoes year around but especially in the summertime, so Lone Star Beer and CALLEN have created the world’s first neon bar sign that doubles as a fully functioning mosquito zapper. It will help celebrate this year’s launch of Lone Star Agave Seltzers, the company’s first hard seltzer product. (Lone Star Beer, 2021)

The sign is 4×4 feet and hard to miss. Look for the sign around Texas this year and next as part of different promotions. The sign was also recently featured in Ad Age.

“The only thing more refreshing than drinking a cold seltzer on a hot Texan day – is drinking one on a hot Texan day, without a blood-sucking mosquito in sight. Cause they’re dead. This is why we made the mosquito zapper,” said Craig Allen, Founder & CCO, CALLEN. “Lone Star is a Texas brand that gets what Texans need—they’re an awesome partner and a lot of fun to work with. We love any opportunity to go beyond the traditional ad buy to reach people where they are.”

CALLEN is the advertising agency of record for Lone Star Beer, and previously introduced a new campaign for the beer in 2019 that included films Mosquito, Brisket, and Sunset.

“There’s no greater shared enemy amongst Texans than the oppressive summer heat. That’s why we made a refreshingly Texas Seltzer to be a respite on a hot summer day. A pretty close second on that list is the mosquito. Nothing ruins good times outside on the patio or porch than a bite from this dreaded foe. When CALLEN brought us this idea, we knew it was a match made in heaven and would keep us on our patios at least 2-3 seltzers longer,” said Daniel Crawford, Lone Star Beer Senior Brand Manager.

Lone Star Brewing announces the latest seasonal beer in the beloved family of Lone Star Beers: Das Bier Y’all – The New Taste of Classic Texas. Das Bier Y’all is a classic German-style kölsch with a peachy twist, brewed to honor the German heritage of the Lone Star State and its enduring cultural influence that remains prevalent in Texas today. The beer is now available for purchase in select locations throughout Texas for a limited time through early Spring 2021. (Lone Star Beer, 2020)

Following the recent success of Lone Star’s first seasonal launch, Rio Jade Mexican-style lager, the Das Beer Y’all German-style kölsch is the next edition in the Lone Star cultural series that honors the unique customs and traditions that shape the Texas we know today. With a taste reminiscent of the Hill Country distilled into beverage form, the flavor profile is proudly Texan with a modern interpretation.

With an ABV of 4.8%, this crisp and refreshing kölsch is locally brewed in the Hill Country region of Austin and is infused with natural peach flavoring to create a distinct take on a classic German brew style. In the tradition of Lone Star, the beer remains highly drinkable and perfect for the transition from Summer to Fall in Texas. Das Bier Y’all pairs perfectly with small, socially-distanced backyard get-togethers, enjoying the sunset from your patio or while reminiscing on days spent enjoying the splendor of Texas.

Served in a metallic copper and deep teal can, Das Bier Y’all was conceptualized by Austin-based designers Keith Davis Young and Lauren Dickens whose creations are rooted in Austin institutions and brands such as Magnolia Cafe, Native Hostel, Better Half and Hunt, Gather.

Lone Star Beer announces the latest line in the beloved family of Lone Star Beers: Rio Jade. Rio Jade: The New Taste of Texas, is a Mexican-style lager inspired by the appreciation for Texas’ diverse lands and waterways. The beer will be available throughout Texas starting in late April, with full distribution in May, for a limited time until the end of summer. In light of current events, to assist those who have supported its beer for generations, Lone Star is also launching a goodwill initiative called Keep The Lights On Y’all to help support members of the bar and restaurant community during these uncertain times. (Lone Star Beer, 2020)

Lone Star’s first seasonal beer will inspire all drinking-age generations to be proud of what Texas represents. Like the ever-flowing waters of Texas, Lone Star Beer is here to ensure no one goes thirsty. The new beer, which translates to “River Jade,” was inspired by the love of the land of Texas and the color and design is reflective of the natural beauty found in the waters of Texas and Mexico. From natural pools, to running rivers, everyone can find their oasis in Texas with a Rio Jade in hand.

With an ABV of 4.5%, this crisp, Mexican-style lager is locally brewed in the Hill Country of Austin with the finest ingredients Texas has to offer, including award-winning malt from Blacklands Malt, the first malt house to use Texas-grown barley. The beer has a unique-to-Texas flavor that provides a crisp and refreshing taste with characteristic sweetness of flaked maize balanced with spicy, floral and citrus notes from the hops. Rio Jade pairs perfectly with floating the river, sunbathing at a favorite swimming hole, or watching the sunset from your backyard to practice “social distancing” at this time.

Served in bold turquoise cans, Rio Jade is the first beer label designed by Burnt Nopal Creative Director and Texas-based artist Cruz Ortiz. Rio Jade will be available throughout Texas, with six-packs available at a suggested retail price of $7.99. Beer lovers can use Lone Star’s beer finder to find a store selling nearest to them. Rio Jade will also be available for delivery with Drizly. Lone Star encourages everyone to enjoy the new lager at home during this time.

As a response to the COVID-19 crisis effect on members of the service industry, Lone Star is launching the Keep The Lights On Y’all initiative. With the help of the team at popular Texas Humor, Lone Star has created an exclusive T-shirt inspired by the classic neon lights that grace fine establishments throughout the state as a call to action for Texans to support local bars and restaurants. The shirt serves as a reminder to all Texans to show support and help out those in the service industry while their doors are temporarily closed. One-hundred percent of the profits from the new merchandise will benefit Southern Smoke, a Texas-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that supports the food and beverage community and their suppliers—championed by Houston Chef Chris Shepherd. Keep The Lights On Y’all initiative t-shirts are available online for $25 each.
