Anehuser-Busch Inbev used two of the six ads it had in 2013 to promote the new Budweiser Black Crown, a high-alcohol and upscale version of the flagship Bud. The two 30-second spots aired in the first quarter of the game, featuring black-clad partygoers -- "the finest of our nation" in a sort of hipster "Eyes Wide Shut" ballroom having fun and drinking Black Crown, described as "a distinctive amber lager." This is the first, to be followed by "Coronation."

The spots were created by Anomaly, which also handled the flagship Budweiser brand. It was also the second year in a row that Anheuser Busch decided to launch products during the Super Bowl. In 2012, the company used the game to intrdouce Bud Light Platinum.

A-B InBev decided in 2016 to discontinue Black Crown in 2017.
