Publicis Mojo puts the "super" in Hahn SuperDry beer

Putting the "super" in Australian beer, Hahn SuperDry, is a complicated and arduous task, according to a gloriously purile new spot written by Publicis Mojo Sydney and shot by Tom Kuntz through MJZ . Thankfully the process is also highly entertaining...

For maximum superness, grain is "filtered" through a huge speaker system, bashed by body builders, exposed to much Bruce Lee footage, before being brewed in close proximity to a revving monster truck, piped through a drum kit and over a stack of sporting trophies to be stored in a huge vat sporting an enormous sequined Elvis-style rhinestone jacket. Then it's pumped to a seemingly unreachable beer tap just outside the factory where a suited gent awaits (in a hovering helicopter) ready to pour a pint and give it the thumbs up  – displaying a joyous enthusiasm never quite reached by the man from Del Monte.

I like it, but this idea was already done for the Skoda Fabia VRS ad.

Tom Kuntz and Eight VFX have done a great job, and I really enjoyed putting the finishing touches on this spot in Sydney for Publicis Mojo.
