“We are embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer that this generation has ever seen, with Copa America Centenario being held on U.S. soil for the first time, Team USA competing at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” said Budweiser Vice President Ricardo Marques.

“Budweiser has always strived to embody America in a bottle, and we’re honored to salute this great nation where our beer has been passionately brewed for the past 140 years,” he added.

The beer company is also launching new cans and bottles featuring a magnified view of the Statue of Liberty’s torch. The company said that move was inspired by Team Budweiser, the brand’s six athletes competing in the Olympics and Paralympics.
