Supporting its mantra that drinkers can stay fit and enjoy beer, Michelob Ultra has scheduled, for the very first time, two Super Bowl spots.

The first, titled, The Perfect Fit, also starred Chris Pratt and featured The Guardians of the Galaxy star preparing for his very first Super Bowl spot. Its sequel, titled I Like Beer, is a musical celebration to the beverage, and has now been made available for viewing.

Featured in this :60-second spot (a :30-second version will air on the Super Bowl), in addition to Pratt, are US Open Golf Champion Brooks Koepka, 11-time World Surf League Champion Kelly Slater and 2017 NYC Marathon winner Shalane Flanagan. What they share is their dedication to their sport and of course, their love for beer.

All sing a new rendition, re-recorded by country music artist, Jon Pardi, “I Like Beer.” The twist — they are singing while working out, running a marathon, golfing or surfing.

 

 

It’s clear from the two spots, that the brand has doubled down on the idea of that it’s possible to be active while still enjoying a beer with a clean, refreshing taste. It also makes sense to team up with the likable Pratt, who is in superhero shape with other athletes at the top of their games.

“He’s (Pratt) living proof that you don’t have to choose between being fit and having fun. Fitness-loving beer drinkers of the world rejoice! You can have your beer and your workout too,” said Liz Taylor, FCB Chicago’s chief creative officer.

She added on her Instagram account that Pratt is now, “…an honorary member of the @FCBchi creative department.”

The spot will air in the fourth quarter.

Go Eagles!
