Shades On, Volume Up: The beer that's best savored while enjoying the outdoors celebrates its sustainability milestone with a hot new anthem from global superstar, Maluma, featuring the sound of the sun
NEW YORK, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for Earth Day, Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold, the first nationally available USDA certified organic lager and the brand that knows a thing or two about enjoying nature, announces it is now brewed with 100% renewable electricity from solar power. This announcement marks a major sustainability milestone for Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold, as it will be the first beer within the Anheuser-Busch U.S. portfolio to make this distinction.
"As the best-selling USDA certified organic beer in the country, Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold has always celebrated nature and now we're going further by brewing our beer sustainably with 100% solar electricity," said Ricardo Marques, Vice President of Michelob ULTRA. "This Earth Day we look forward to celebrating our commitment together with our long-standing partner, Maluma, who shares in our passion for nature and sustainability."
To commemorate this major sustainability milestone, global superstar, Maluma, is joining in on the Earth Day celebration with the release of a hot new anthem song titled "Rumba (Puro Oro Anthem)." The sol-ful anthem is the first-ever song to feature the roaring sounds of the sun. Yes, the sun actually makes its own unique sound, and it's been captured in this track which drops on Spotify today and will be available across all major streaming platforms.
"I've collaborated with some of the biggest artists in the world, but never before with a star that's literally out of this world," said Maluma. "I had so much fun partnering with Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold to record this anthem and I love that it is in support of sustainability, which is a huge passion of mine. I really hope people enjoy ''Rumba (Puro Oro Anthem)' and join us in this celebration with a Pure Gold in hand."
On Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, as the morning sun rises, fans can head to Maluma's YouTube channel to tune into the world premiere of the "Rumba (Puro Oro Anthem)" film. Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold and Maluma will also be giving away Limited Edition "Rumba (Puro Oro Anthem)" gold vinyl records to fans 21 and older.
