The Man Returns

Mr. Brewski jis a huge fan of "The Most Interesting Man in
the World"and was totally bummed out when he was given
his walking papers from those oh so clever ads for Dos Equis
beer.  Well, he's back but is giving up beer for tequila

Jonathan Goldsmith is the actor who appeared as the
sophisticated, eccentric, and worldly pitchman for Dos
Equis for nearly a decade. He's now promoting Astral
Tequila,  In a new ad the 78-year-old Goldsmith nods at
his Dos Equis days by raising a glass of tequila and saying,
"I told you I don't always drink beer" (a reference to his
famed Dos Equis line: "I don't always drink beer, but when
I do, I prefer Dos Equis")

Since his debut as the face of the brand in 2007, Goldsmith
has become something of a cultural icon. He helped Dos
Equis nearly triple its business since the campaign was
introduced, His contract with Dos Equis ended last year after
the beer brand decided it was time for a new spokesman. The
company hired a younger "most interesting man" in his place.
To their dismay (and Mr. Brewski's great satisfaction, the
younger version flopped. There is only one feal MIMIW.

Mr. Brewski worried about the legality of the Dos
Equis-referencing spot, so checked with one lawyer who said
Astral is on a "slippery slope" but not likely to find itself in
court over any sort of infringement. Let's hope that's the case.

For the record, Tequila is not Goldsmith's professed drink
of choice, or at least it wasn't when several years ago he said
in an interview he favored martinis and Scotch when not
consuming beer. Beer however was his #1.
