Brands Through the Beers—Michelob The Evolution of Michelob: A Look at Brand Design Over Time Beer branding is a visual journey through time, and few brands exemplify this evolution better than Michelob. From its sleek, metallic design of today to the bold, iconic look of the past, Michelob's beer can tells a story of changing consumer tastes and branding strategies. Also, notably in recent years, Anheuser-Busch has shifted emphasis from Michelob Lager to Michelob Ultra. Ultra’s sales now dwarf the original, and it’s actually tough to find the larger. In the 1970s, Michelob embraced a minimalist yet elegant design—a gold can with a striking red ribbon, delicate flourishes, and the classic AB eagle. This design reflected an era of premium beer marketing, where simplicity conveyed sophistication. The red ribbon was a bold statement, nodding to Michelob’s high-quality lager status. Fast-forward to today, and the modern Michelob Lager can has taken on a darker, more refined aesthetic. The deep graphite background with gold and red accents exudes a nuanced, contemporary feel. Instead of a large open space, the design leans into detailed illustration, including a depiction of "The Michelob" tavern. The typography has also evolved—shifting from an all-caps display font to a flowing logo script paired with, in this case, a sturdy sans-serif product name, effectively conveying the brand’s premium perception. Much like other beer brands we’ve reviewed that have modernized their visual identity—such as Yuengling, Budweiser, and Stella—Michelob has matured its branding to align with modern consumers. While the original gold can was bold and straightforward, the current design suggests heritage, craftsmanship, and sophistication. What do you think? Do you prefer the vintage 1970s Michelob can or today’s modern, refined look? Let’s discuss in the comments! #BrandEvolution #Michelob #BeerBranding #Marketing #DesignTrends #Throwback
