"Do One Thing Really Really Well"
I spotted this mini belonging to Steamwhistle Brewery out behind a local pub and managed to get a pic before the fellow drove off. Steamhistle has a fleet of wonderful vintage vehicles, all painted in this great green, that they use for delivery and service calls all summer but the rest of the cars like this Mini are out and about all year. If you look closely on the back quarter panel just below the window you can see their slogan - "Do One Thing Really Really Well" - they make only one kind of beer, a pilsner. I didn't notice until I opened the pic on the computer that the nice guy gave me the thumbs up as I took the pic!

Cool shot! I really like Steamwhistle. Although I've never seen any of their vehicles out and about. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I like their marketing strategy.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! And I like that the guy gave you a thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteGood advice. I think I spread myself too thin!

That colour catches your eye!
ReplyDeletedefinitely distinctive!
ReplyDeleteLove the logo, really dynamic looking!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!
ReplyDeleteIt is really good advice Pat, but seriously...I'd never get anything done haha! Love those nice little surprises when you download a shot.
ReplyDeleteThey have a ''56 Chev pickup in Vancouver. It's a complete electric conversion and apparently can go up to 200 miles on a charge.

You were caught taking the pic! :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite beers. I didn't realize they had so many different vehicles.
ReplyDeleteThe thumbs up cameo is a great extra touch to the message of the sign! The vehicle certainly demands attention and is unique.
ReplyDeleteLove that..a great way to advertise...and the slogan makes good sense. I'd love to try the product on a hot day ( the only time I like beer at all)
ReplyDeleteGood sign and good beer. The last time I traveled on Porter Airlines I received one free Steam Whistle in flight.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this beer, but I love the name!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this brand but if you say it's good, it must be good. Steam Whistle is kind of a funny name for a beer, but it is attention-getting like their vehicles.
ReplyDeleteWere I ever to come across this beer I certainly would try it. Sounds good, and I like the idea that they use vintage vehicles for delivery.
ReplyDeleteIt almost seems too long for a Mini!
ReplyDeleteI bet he'd give you another thumbs up if he saw this on your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad he gave you thumbs up! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like the company's slogan.

That slogan makes one think, doesn't it? I don't think I agree with it literally, but I do agree with the idea of focusing instead of spreading oneself too thin.
ReplyDeleteCute Mini!
ReplyDeleteNever seen a brewer's dray based on a mini before - guess it works though.
ReplyDeleteGreat advertising idea ... I like cold beer in summer now :))
ReplyDeleteA kiss.
