On tap tonight: Old Czech, Mongolia.
The punchline here is recycled from an Australian beer commercial, but we thought it would be more fun, and exotic, to show the Mongolian variation. Who knew they stocked their yurts with beer?

On tap tonight: Toohey’s Xtra Dry, Australia.
Remember the Weather Girls’ hit “It’s Raining Men”?

On tap tonight: Brahma, Brazil.
Here’s a collection of Brahma spots boasting appearances by a hyper-cool, beer-guzzling turtle — Brazil’s answer to Spuds McKenzie. Needless to say, the turtle’s a stud-muffin on the half shell, and boasts some killer soccer moves. One note of trivia: Did you know that Spuds McKenzie was actually portrayed by a female bull terrier whose real name was Honey Tree Evil Eye? Hate to burst your bubble, but that’s a fact, Jack.

Call Me Stormy launches a new series…the World of Beers. Every evening, right around Happy Hour, we’ll showcase a different beer commercial from a different corner of the globe. We’ll cover the gamut — the funniest, the sexiest, the most outrageous, the classic, the bizarre.
Before we wrap up the series on Oct. 31 — in celebration of Oktoberfest, and just in time to get all of you sobered up before election day — we’ll span much of the world, presenting 80 commercials from at least 40 countries. If you’ve got a favorite commercial you’d like to see in this greatest hits parade, send us your request in the comments. One note: We are excluding US commercials except vintage ones that haven’t been seen for decades, and a few specialty ads, such as one for a Pennsylvania microbrew.
