LONDON.- AB InBev brand Beck’s has launched Beck’s Fusion, the new, limited edition product in the Beck’s range. Set to be the taste of the summer, Beck’s Fusion is Beck’s with a hint of orange zest flavour and to celebrate the launch Beck’s Fusion unveils the Beck’s Fusion Summer Guestlist. Beck’s Fusion has teamed up with 32 of the most anticipated music and art events across London and Manchester that bring to life the excitement of fusing different tastes together.

The diverse range of events taking part in the Beck’s Fusion Summer Guestlist include the Stag & Dagger Festival in London, Aubin Gallery in Shoreditch, John Squire at the Idea Generation Gallery in London and entry into the infamous club XOYO in Hoxton. The Beck’s Fusion Summer Guestlist will be spanning the best music and arts events throughout London and Manchester each bringing to life the theme of fusing different tastes together.

Beck’s Fusion has collaborated with many of the UK’s brightest stars from the worlds of art and music to create the exclusive Beck’s Fusion Summer Guestlist Playbutton. Playbuttons are a unique new listening device, fusing a pin badge with an mp3 player. 100 of these Playbuttons will be hidden around London and Manchester, or given away via the Beck’s Fusion Summer Guestlist media partners – Shortlist Magazine, Clash Magazine, Dazed Digital and Urban Junkies, and will contain a host of exclusive, unreleased music, interviews and will feature bespoke artwork designed by one of the visual artists who is featured in one of the events in the season.

Locations of the Playbuttons will be released via the Beck’s Fusion Facebook page – facebook.com/becksvier or any of the media partner’s websites or print publications. Each location will be posted on a Google Map embedded on the Beck’s Fusion Facebook tab that will gradually zoom closer to the Playbuttons’ final locations as more people ‘like’ it. Once the locations of the Playbuttons have been fully revealed it will become a straight-forward race to the finish with music and art fans racing each other to locate a button. Once found, the Playbutton will offer the owner exclusive entry into the events that make up the Beck’s Fusion Summer Guestlist.
