Beer is believed to be the original social network – bringing people together for generations as we raise a toast to life, friends and the new connections we build. The pandemic may have derailed our social celebrations, but that does not mean we cannot be social yet safe and share a beer or two with our friends.
With Budweiser’s latest #RuletheNew initiative, the King of Beers leads the way and shows us how to rule the new normal. Budweiser has crowdsourced innovative hacks in collaboration with over 45 creator communities across pan-India that showcase ways in which people can cautiously move forward, resume their routine activities, get back to work or simply catch up with their friends! The brand has also launched an exclusive ‘Rule the New’ Instagram handle that curates the best, most innovative entries received across social media every day, shortlisted by the brand in association with leading personalities of the Indian film fraternity, Zoya Akhtar & Jay Oza.
So, this International Beer Day, let’s take a look at some of the recommended hacks, curated exclusively for our readers to celebrate with your friends and usher in the weekend, safely and responsibly. For more creative ideas, visit @RuleTheNew on Instagram!
