Kasteelbier - USA / Wealth is all around us (2023) :60 (Belgium)

The campaign shares stories of a day in the life of six residents of six different countries. Cinematographic footage captures the countries’ cultural wealth, while also highlighting how Belgian beer culture has slowly gained a spot there.

Each film ends with a familiar moment of (self)reflection at the end of the day. During this moment, we see the protagonist deliberately opt for a Belgian Kasteelbier over their own country’s traditional beverage. This moment of true wealth is captured in a campaign portrait, also made by Jef Boes.
