Beck's 70+ Is A Bitter Beer Specifically Made For The Taste Buds of Seniors


Beck's 70+ bitter beer made for seniors

Our taste buds change as we age. Even though that's widely known, there are surprisingly few products that are specifically made to take advantage of that fact. This truth makes Beck's 70+, a bitter beer specifically “made for advanced palates”, a gamechanging product that speaks to an underappreciated consumer segment.

Launched with an anti-ageist advertising campaign, the beer seems inspired by the “pro-aging” culture movement happening now and is an early example of an entirely new category of food and beverage formulated to appeal to the more mature palate. In a crowded category filled with shades of sameness, this is a clever way to stand out by appealing to a customer group everyone else is ignoring.
