MILWAUKEE, This summer Milwaukee's Best Light, the beer for America's poker table, is sponsoring the national tour of the World's Largest Poker Table, as part of the "WiseGuys on Texas Hold'Em" DVD premiere. The table, which will tour throughout the summer across the country, will be unveiled July 26 at the CityWalk in Universal City, Calif. It seats up to 10 players at a time and the public is welcome to play on a first-come first- serve basis.
The World's Largest Poker Table, along with the brand's sponsorship of the World Series of Poker currently airing on ESPN, offers the brand an opportunity to gain a broader national audience and consumer-base and gives consumers the chance to experience poker on a larger-than-life scale.
"Milwaukee's Best Light has made a commitment to bring beer drinkers a masculine light beer that tastes like beer," says Paul Verdu, senior brand manager, Milwaukee's Best Light. "In a similar manner, we're dedicated to bringing poker players and fans real excitement in the sport. The World Series of Poker and this tour of the World's Largest Poker Table is our way of doing just that."
The World's Largest Poker Table measures 30 feet long by 12 feet wide and includes the World's Largest Poker Chips at 12 inches in diameter and World's Largest Cards at 39 inches tall.
