Colt 45 Malt Liquor television commercial: After a series of odd events on a beach, a waiter arrives on a surfboard with a can of Colt 45 Malt Liquor and a glass. Voiceover: "In the dull and commonplace of day-to-day living, one thing stands out as a completely unique experience: Colt 45 Malt Liquor."
Public domain film from the
Library of Congress Prelinger Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and one-pass brightness-contrast-color correction & mild video noise reduction applied.
The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original).

History
National Brewing Company introduced Colt 45 in 1963.
Previously, the only major national brand of malt liquor was
Country Club. The label was designed with a kicking horse and horseshoe, a reference to its "extra kick" compared to competing brands.
Listed on the Pabst website as a "
Fun Fact", Colt 45 was named after running back #45
Jerry Hill of the 1963
Baltimore Colts and not the
.45 caliber handgun ammunition round.
The label has a long-time advertising association with actor
Billy Dee Williams, who has been seen in print ads, on billboards and in television ads for Colt 45 starting in the
1980s. The product's slogan during that era, as stated by
Williams in his television commercials, was, "It works every time." Williams responded indifferently to criticism of his appearances in the liquor commercials.

Colt 45 makers experimented briefly with a mint-flavored derivative, marketed under the name
Cool Colt, in the early
1990s.
Available in limited quantities, it was largely met with puzzlement from loyal customers. While it was in production, the slogan for Cool Colt was "
Taste the Cool."
A double malt version—titled Colt 45
Double Malt—is also produced; it has the same alcohol content as Colt 45 Malt Liquor, contrary to popular belief.
Sold in only certain regions, the label is distinguishable by two horseshoes rather than the standard single one.
In
2011, Pabst Brewing introduced
Blast by Colt 45.
Snoop Dogg signed on to promote the beverage as Blast's "brand ambassador". The 12%
ABV fruit-flavored malt beverage has been criticized for targeting underage drinkers. In order to cooperate with
FDA regulations, Blast by Colt does not contain caffeine, taurine, or guarana.
