Coca-Cola's brilliant new ad depicts the life of a man who is happy because he stays active and active because he stays happy (and because he takes time now and then to drink Coke, of course). The construction, execution, and precision of the many wooden puppets involved is incredible and a lot of fun to watch.

Tenacious Traveler will be House of Shandy's second "refresher" coming out in a few months. Like Curious, Tenacious Traveler will be brewed with lemon peel, but will also include honey and ginger.

While I'm at it, here are a few recent released (within the past year or so) Samuel Adams brand IPAs whose labels include some fun and personality-filled illustrations.
