Firestone Walker Brewing Company Launches This is 805 Beer

— February 23, 2024 — Marketing
Firestone Walker Brewing Company is launching its 2024 ad campaign for 805 Beer, simply titled 'This is 805 Beer.' The marketing initiative aims to differentiate the offering in the saturated beer market by focusing on authentic stories and connections.

The This is 805 Beer campaign features a diverse cast of athletes and creators "whom 805 fondly refers to as 'Authenticos.'"

The debut ad spot, narrated by California-based singer and songwriter Jake Smith (a.k.a. The White Buffalo), sets the tone for a series of documentary films, cultural events, and media campaigns. Despite historically keeping a low profile, Firestone Walker is now opening up about its story, highlighting its continued success as the #1 Craft Beer in California and its expansion into other states.
