BECK'S SAPPHIRE opened a similar space just off Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles last week, and plans to open additional spaces in the coming days. The spaces are all found in the country's most prized real estate locations, including SoHo in New York City and along South Beach in Miami. 

The BECK'S SAPPHIRE pop-up "jewelry store" on Michigan Avenue showcases an art installation designed by Moritz Waldemeyer, the famed German designer and engineer. The space features a clean, modern aesthetic, interspersed with the exclusive artwork designed by Waldemeyer, whose work represents a "fusion of technology, art, fashion and design." Waldemeyer has worked with some of the most iconic names in entertainment, including Rihanna, U2, Ellie Goulding and many others. 

"It took our brewmasters and engineers more than two years to develop Beck's Sapphire and our exclusive black bottle," said Chris Curtis, brand manager, Beck's. "So we feel a special sense of satisfaction introducing consumers to the latest in high-end beer. We invite new and old friends to stop by and see the latest innovation from the world's best-selling German beer brand."

The rest of the world will be introduced to BECK'S SAPPHIRE during the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, the largest stage in advertising. Over 112 million consumers will view the ad on Feb. 3, which features a surprising admirer and a special remix of a well-known '90s anthem. BECK'S SAPPHIRE will release the details of its Super Bowl spot at a later date. 

No beer will be available, served or consumed at the venue during events open to the general public.
