• Campaign with new TV commercial launched in the Netherlands today

LIESHOUT, Netherlands, 18-Nov-2016 — /EuropaWire/ — Bavaria, the world’s biggest independent family brewery, introduces a new international campaign ‘Welcome to the Family’ today. In this new campaign, Bavaria celebrates the sensation of drinking beer together: no matter who you are or where you come from, you are welcome. With this message and beer as social glue, the family brewery from Brabant brings people together. Today, the new campaign ‘Welcome to the Family’ kicks off in the Netherlands.

The new campaign shapes the image of Bavaria as the biggest independent family brewery in the world, that has a passion for beer and a brew tradition that goes back 300 years. The Bavaria staff counts 28 members of the Swinkels family, but all of the more than 1,000 co-workers feel as they are part of the brewery family. The main message is the most important reason to drink Bavaria beer: to share spontaneous, fun and mostly warm moments together. With this campaign, Bavaria says goodbye to the 30-year-old Dutch pay-off ‘Zo, nu eerst een Bavaria’ and starts communicating using the strength of the family company. “Beer unites and brings people together. That is what represents Bavaria and why we want to spread this universal message. First in the Netherlands, followed by all countries where Bavaria is present”, says Pieter Swinkels, CMO Bavaria N.V.

Bavaria is the only brewery in the Netherlands that uses pure, natural mineral water of their own spring and the barley malt is derived from their own malting plant. Bavaria is a very easy going and pure pilsner.
