Possibly my favorite of the Amstel ads that have been airing for a while. (This one was shot in 16:9, so you may find it looking a little squeezed. Sorry about that.)

Before the Flood...

(A few dialogue / dialect notes: 

"I'm waitin' on yer man": "Yer man" used colloquially is "That fella/guy," "this/that person here/over there." Cf. the famous poem about "A pint of plain is your only man."

"It's lashing out there":  It's "lashing down rain":  pouring, coming down really hard.

"He's after forgettin' these yokes!"  "He's after...":  the idiom translates an Irish-language verb phrasing that with "forgetting" equals, in this case, "He forgot / he's just forgotten ..."  "Yoke" is Irish slang for some unnamed or unspecified object. The closest US translation would probably be "these guys".)
