PR stunt backfires as multi-billion dollar alcohol firm falsely claims to be part of Culture Night 2025
"One of the world's biggest alcohol companies last night faced the indignity of having its product lampooned as "p**s poor imported beer" by a senior figure at the Belfast arts festival it claimed to be a key part of."
"Molson Coors, a US-Canadian alcohol behemoth, apologised after the Belfast Telegraph asked it about misleadingly claiming to be a key part of Culture Night Belfast 2025, a low-budget event which it had nothing to do with."
Molson Coors, a US-Canadian alcohol company, falsely claimed key involvement in Culture Night Belfast 2025. A senior figure at the Belfast arts festival publicly lampooned the company's product, calling it "p**s poor imported beer". The Belfast Telegraph questioned Molson Coors about the misleading sponsorship claim. Molson Coors apologised after that inquiry. Culture Night Belfast 2025 is described as a low-budget event with which Molson Coors had no involvement. The incident exposed a discrepancy between the company's public relations claims and the actual level of engagement with the festival. The apology acknowledged the erroneous assertion of partnership.
