The campaign, created by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, introduces the term “Amber Jubilee” and aims to remind audiences of “the great Australian tradition of sharing a draught beer with mates in the front bar of their local”.

CUB general manager of marketing Andrew Meldrum said: “We thought 150 years of beer is worthy of a jubilee, and given it’s beer, we thought why not an Amber Jubilee.”

“We’re looking for all stories big and small; it might be the one about the kangaroo called Joe Joe who used to hop in to a bar in Gippsland for a cheeky pot of Carlton once in a while, or the time David Bowie filmed ‘Let’s Dance’ in the public bar – whatever the story, we want to hear it,” said Meldrum.

Complementing the campaign, which will run all year, will be a limited edition heritage brew made available in selected pubs, commemorative products for the retail trade and a social media campaign running throughout the year that will focus on celebrating the Amber Jubilee.
