Copy

Not a sacrifice. An upgrade.

Non-alcoholic Pilsner. 43 calories. Award-winning.

Drink Better

Changes from BRW-002: "72 calories" → "43 calories." "Full IPA flavor" → "Double gold" (the Sunbeam's strongest credential). "Try Disarm" → "Drink Better." The supporting line now stacks: what it is (NA Pilsner), why it's impressive (43 cal), why you should trust it (double gold award winner). One angle, one through-line.


Creative Direction

Same dark bold visual. Same BN Kragen Bold headline energy. Same system rules. The Sunbeam can replaces the Disarm can — its artwork should be simpler and render more accurately from the product reference.

Font: BN Kragen Bold (BNKragen-Bold.otf in Brand Kit/Fonts/). Chunky, condensed, retro-modern SANS-SERIF. Craft brewery poster lettering. NOT a serif. NOT italic. NOT sports/ESPN/blockbuster. NOT elegant or bookish. Upload the .otf file as a reference.

Can: Sunbeam Pils can from the uploaded reference. Simpler artwork than Disarm. 40-50% of frame height. Hero-lit against dark background. Real aluminum, condensation, no perfect water rings.

NA positioning: "Non-alcoholic Pilsner" is explicit in the supporting line.

Ad Body Text (NOT in the image)

A Pilsner. 43 calories. Two Gold Medals at the Best of Craft Beer Awards. Non-alcoholic.

Suspended in a Sunbeam is brewed — not dealcoholized. Crisp, clean, inspired by the Carl Sagan quote. The kind of beer that makes you wonder why you ever needed the alcohol in the first place.

That's not a sacrifice — that's an upgrade.
