“We are also very excited to roll out NFL packaging on aluminum bottles for the first time in addition to cans.”

"NFL team packaging has become something fans look for from Bud Light year after year."

This year, the Bud Light cans and aluminium bottles exhibit team logos and a catchphrase for the respective NFL franchise.

Furthermore, every can will feature Snapcodes that can be used by the customers to win Super Bowl LII tickets by taking a photo of the can using Snapchat.

Bud Light has also decided to introduce a new television advertisement this season to facilitate brand promotion.

A premium light beer in the US, Bud Light was introduced in 1982 and resembles one of the flagship brands of Anheuser-Busch.
