There have been rumors of serious drops in customer purchasing after Anheuser Bush rebranded Bud Light as the beer for transvestites & transgenders.
The stock value of the company has dropped, but the Main Street (consumer-driven) financial outcomes are not clarified in data yet, and everything is nonempirical. However, with the CEO of Anheuser Bush now stepping into the discussion [see statement here], it is safe to anticipate the impacts at a retail level have reached the executive suites.
Unfortunately, the milquetoast statement from the company is exceptionally weak and shows a heavily influenced group and board filter which ends up creating a very white-washed corporate statement from CEO Brendan Whitworth. Saying, “we never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” is a long way from saying something akin to, ‘hey guys, we really screwed up, and have fired everyone associated with this visit into the world of brand image stupidity.’
The way I read between the lines of this statement is that Mr. Brendan Whitworth was well aware of the branding effort and marketing plan. He approved it. CEO Whitworth cannot fire Budweiser Light Vice President of Marketing, Alissa Heinerscheid, because Whitworth himself approved the marketing strategy. That’s the way the weasel-words read to me.
Bottom line, this is very weak… pathetically weak… and Budweiser brands deserve to be publicly shunned. Give them a few weeks with zero sales and let’s see what happens.
This is a GREAT opportunity; to try a plethora of different brands, but especially the smaller, craft brewers. Just maybe, we will find what will be the new Mega Beer in America that Budweiser thought they was. Budweiser took 160+ years to reach the pinnacle and their replacement has to work up to it and we need to give them that chance. They now have much more time to spend on being a WEF Sponsor!
My young next door neighbor … a treasurer for a very large high tech pharmaceutical co. … brews his own beer. And it is REALLY good. He makes his version of Pliny The Elder … which is superb. And he is quite generous when pouring. Our block parties have never been so good since he moved in … and nope. Not a single fake woman ever comes to our block parties.
Absolutely. Perhaps the mama-pop stores will be able to make a comeback to carry more items in demand; if buyers prefer to try different brands from smaller or local craft brewers to not shop at the bigger absurdly overpriced supermarket chains.
For what it’s worth:
Washington Times sent this to my inbox.
FTA: “After a weeklong $6.6 billion loss in share value, executives at AB InBev, parent company of Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light brand, have decided to shelve its “partnership” with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender “influencer” whose appearance on a can triggered a nationwide backlash.”

having some pervert on the can definitely would make me worry what else is in the cam….
Typical narc CEO message, it’s all about him, his views, his background, his obsession with woke values that no one else wants!
Just to be clear…
Narcissists…
Notice how he played up the “first responder” sympathy gimmick. Vile.
https://www.anheuser-busch.com/brands
If you really want to hit them, don’t buy any of these brands.
No Stella!
Lol I have been getting played too. But I will figure it out.
Whitworthless gives weasels a bad name.
Yep its a trangender beer for transgender drag queens.
I hope they drink a LOT of it … because nobody else will
The words are the words of a coward. Note that he inserts his “service to our country,” qualifier as just another Joe commiserating with the other commoners. He’s as full of shit as the rest of these disgusting cowards. Anheuser Bush – the Eurotrash brand, is off my list permanently.
Beautifully said~
My first thought as well.
We are awash in cowardice as a result of decades of intentional emasculation by the Leftist Death Cult — and like the rarest (and disappearing) of virtues, courage, it is contagious.
He’s x-CIA
“Service to our country” is used as a resume builder, and way to say he is above reproach. Why not say I enlisted because I felt it was my duty or because I love my country. It sounds more like “I served my time” or “I paid my dues.”It’s just so John Kerry and John McCain now.
👍🤝👏👏👏
Small bars and restaurants are getting burnt in AZ. They can’t return beer that won’t sell. Place we had dinner tonight hadn’t sold any BL, and few other AB products
There are some good micro’s down there.
I dont frequent bars that much, but I have been in some that all they offer is bud/bud light – coors/coors light on tap. Thats it!
That is too bad.
Perhaps they need to start screaming to the High Heavens about how upset they are.
No matter what happens now we still need to bankrupt and bury this company.
A lesson needs to be learned, other companies need to know that We The People are not without leverage.
Those who are going to suffer from this, the ones lower down might need to start warning their suppliers that they do not want to see any kind of nonsense from them at all or they will cancel all orders.
We can not let off on this, bury these AB people, no mercy.
“No matter what happens now we still need to bankrupt and bury this company.”
I am reminded of Bed Bath and Beyond (or on Simpsons, Bloodbath and Beyond. “5 days?! But I’m mad now!”) and their recent news stories of being on the verge of bankruptcy, probably in large part because they tossed My Pillow to the curb. Maybe it is because of the nature of their stores, bedding, home stuff, things you associate with your home, I felt a pinge of sadness because it is not a nice thing when a business has to go tits up.
I don’t drink, so I can’t participate in any boycott, so hopefully someone here can not buy AB products on my behalf, as it would be a glorious day to see them have to shut the door (though given their sponsorship, they’ll leave the back door open….)
I printed off the list of their products, some of which I actually liked. But I will NEVER purchase one of them again. Go Woke, Go Broke. End of story.
I am seeing more and more ” burn it all down “ mentalities these days…
A few dollar beer nights…problem solved…
Small brew was running a promo where we ate tonight. Got a glass to take home if you ordered their beer and they would engrave your name on it. We had our two engraved TRUMP 47
Bud Light has a history of woke, stupid commercials that kill their sales- anyone remember the rotten Seth Rogen-Amy Schumer commercials?

Can’t we just bring back the Swedish Bikini Team? Old Milwaukee was bad beer, but I’d drink it just for that.
Love the Swedish Bikini Team commercials ….. I drank the Old Milwaukee tall boys back in HS and college…… when we had almost no funds we went with Carling Black Lable
I’m dating myself, but those quart Brew 102s on a warm Cali night at the drivein with your gal. Before it was wrecked, that is.
it would be funny to have them make an ad for the tranny bikini team, watch them prance around like a bunch of Kansas City whatever that word was that Slim Pickens said…
Spuds MacKenzie was a he/she. I miss don’t ask don’t tell. Why do we have to know?
This CEO is failing on all his objectives. Someone should explain it to his pocketbook.
I don’t know his salary and really don’t care…
But let’s just say its $50mm w/bonuses….
Do you think the guy is much gonna give a twit if it drops to $40mm?
A cross btwn a wimp and a whiner, a weiner.
I read an article the other day, sorry no link, that posited the “government” has found no benefits to drinking alcohol. My first thought was, “uh oh they’re going after prohibition again!”
All the while allowing fentanyl and other illegal drugs.
No accident, by design.
Funny how realville works.
I still remember the Hams commercials.
Hamms – from the sky blue waters!
You an old fart…told on yourself…I remember them too…
First tasted beer when I was 9 and Dad gave me a quarter inch of ice cold Hamms in a Solo cup after he cut the grass on Sunday. Nectar.
I bet the dude has an agent.I bet he has lawyers. Gotta hand it to him..took me a while to figure Mulvaney out. Hes a conman. Straight up. A transvestite pretending to be an adolescent girl and playing woke corporations for all thire worth. Hes getting wealthy on thire dime. The boy’s gotta big money gig goin.
How about a commitment to God and the values this country was founded upon.
Deuteronomy 22.5, “A woman shall not wear an article proper to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s dress; for anyone who does such things is an abomination to the Lord, your God.”
Let’s Go Brendan!
We never anticipated that our wedge issue taken to participate in various wedge issues intent upon disrupting social norms in the name of Marxist undermining of societal norms with the intent of provoking and creating a fascist regime in the name of globalism would have such a profound negative push back by people who aren’t queer and are fed up with having queerness shoved down their throats at every television commercial….but we still gotz our mega salaries Nd mega bonuses and mega perks so p h UK all you redneck pos gave us our wealth…
Go work your silly jobs actually producing legitimate products and leave the perverted social reconstruction via lamestream media up to us…
Fools…
Thank you for the translation Kent… I was wondering what LetsGoBrendan really said in his coded letter…I could almost picture you saying , “Excuse me Miss… I speak jive…”😉
Yes.
No male outside the letter jumble club is going to want to be seen drinking that beer for a while. I don’t think even a massive firing fest in AB would change that now. Some things just can’t be undone. Honestly, the CEO could have just kept quiet in the background and it would probably have been better for them. The less limelight the better at this point.
deleted. picture didn’t copy right
This executive & his team are fools & more importantly evil
Im done with companies like this, I wouldn’t drink a Anheseur Bush product if i was dehydrated in the desert
Beer!
I don’t drink a lot of beer and never drank a Bud Light. In college and military did drink some beer, pack then it all seemed like skunk piss, but it was a why to get the girls to show because the guys showed up, it was a vicious circle.
Now if I drink beer it is some craft stuff that cost a fortune but you only better drink 2 or 3, they are potent. In the long run cheaper than BUD!
Like all these companies going virtue woke, save myself some money by not being a costumer plus payback for them allowed to stay open and enforcing all those tyrant covid rules you will/must follow or you cannot enter here. Like I said saving some money and finding out I don’t need them.
Alyssa hineyshine is a man dressed up like a woman?
Legit question…
nah, she just got hit with the homely stick
…welllll…six pack handicap…
….little red corvette!
Just like Dylan M.
She was sired by the same dobin as Jacinda Ardern of NZ.
Budweiser is a mass produced rice brewed swill which had an advertising campaign that played to the blue collared/red neck crowd.
Never liked the stuff.
Now they own the worst marketing campaign ever. With their former clientele, Ill be surprised if they ever make a comeback.
I hear Bob Uecker laughing….
Uecker and his dad tried to play football when he was a kid…
Trump Jr is supporting Anheuser-Busch because they give $$$$$ to the GOP. Looks like sundance needs to make a house call, preferably with a bat.
Giving money to the GOP is another excellent reason to boycott!
I certainly don’t know better than President Trump (or Don Jr) how to navigate all the nuances of all the politics involved with trying to deal with the GOP but I wish Don Jr had stayed quiet. President Trump is putting everything on the line in this battle and I am his soldier but I really do wish Don Jr would have kept quiet. I’m amazed he doesn’t know the GOP rinos are just as bad if not worse than the dems.
Which part of GOP does AB give to? MAGA or WEF/Woke?
Live by Black Rock, die by Black Rock.
Lame.
The text is silly in content, and pretentious in appearance. (supposed to looks like a Greek urn?)
With gold lettering “Our Responsibility to America”
It is bizarre that this is what the inside spin doctors prescribed to the perhaps soon-to=be ‘former’ CEO, and that he accepted it. Sales won’t be supportive for a big ‘bonus’ this year…..
Whitworth will still fly multi million $$$$ corporate jets and pull down $$$$millions and not give two stihs about participating in the Marxist effort to dissemble American culture…he will not care about his negative influence in any form or fashion
Just another overpaid paper pusher…
ADSB exchange if tracking aircraft might interest you…pretty cool if you have nothing else to do but drink beer and…track aircraft….
Lolol
We’ve got an awesome IPA here in St.Louis from the Schlafly Brewery, a smaller but growing concern. They may be woke-i don’t know. But I do know they don’t put freaks on their cans.
Phyllis Schlafly, mother of the Schlafly family brewing enterprise is a conservative icon – God & Country. Pretty sure DJT has some of her missives on a shelf near his favorite reading chair.
I read also that A-B might have RFP from influencers and then found itself in untenable choosing!!!! as a result
While certain members of the Busch family have been far from the most admirable human beings in the world, this CEO is attempting a pathetic leverage of the Busch family historic legacy to whitewash an act that never would have happened under the Busch family’s watch.
Whenever THIS creature shows up on the History channel … I grab the remote and change channels.
https://biographyhost.com/p/lynette-nusbacher.html
As if this queer, FAKE woman is the most qualified presenter available. This is cultural ROT … the destruction of our nations values. I refuse to play along.
You’ve still got cable?
That’s your first problem.
History channel gets money every month from you whether you watch the channel or not.
Don’t you see how you’re giving aid-&-comfort to the enemy ?
Weak is a good description of this feckless statement that actually says nothing. They aren’t addressing this huuuuge mistake or letting the mentally ill marketing person go.
Hey Whitworth, people do come together over a beer, it just won’t be any of yours. Coors included, Anheuser Busch owns 50% of Moulton Coors Co. If you are switching beers be sure to know the facts of who owns what.
The CEO wants inclusivity for a miniscule fraction of his workforce and customers. One perent of 65,000 is 650 of maybe trans & maybe 1.5 million customers (trans @ 1% of US population, most likely much less). That is what he bet his company on. So 6.6 billion dollar loss per trans community member is $4,400 per trans member. Small price to pay to be a Cool Kid.
Dylan is not just trans, he advocates for child gender mutilation
Him first.
AB needs to learn a lesson about valuing their customers — the people who actually buy and drink their beer.
Go woke, go broke. Maybe the CEO needs to realize that.
This has been an awesome example of the power of we the people. Consumer sanctions work.
6 billion in lost sales thus far. What a pity! Hope it its 20 billion.
Keep up the boycott so our message really sinks in.
When i drank , it was Tuborg, Old Milwaukee, Canadian Molson and Labatt
Although I’m no longer a drinker, Bud Light was my beer of choice from my high school, through college, and probably for the twenty years following that. I would take a pause every year for forty days, and give up Bud Light for Lent. Not beer. Bud Light.
To me, Anheuser Busch represented American Exceptionalism. From the Miss Bud Hydroplane, Kenny Bernstein’s Top Fuel dragster, the Clydesdale’s, etc, etc. All that ended when the Busch family decided against the poison pill to prevent an InBev takeover. You may not like the beer, but they used to do a great job branding their products.
If I still was a drinker, Yuengling is a darn good beer if you can find it in your state.
Breaking news! Dude in a wig wearing a very nice dress interrupts Desantis speech in New Hampshire…
Too much Bud Light.
Optics…staging
I doubt the skinny dweeb has ever drank a beer, and this is who they choose to be a spokesperson for their product?
I reminds me of the time years ago when Burger King hired Loretta Swit to push their Whopper in commercials. She was at the zenith of her popularity at the time and that was what they were paying for, not an endorsement from a Whopper aficionado. So she did indeed star in a few commercials for them, then, during some magazine interview, she confessed to being a vegetarian and never ate meat–end of her Burger King association.
Marketing people can be so dumb sometimes. If you want someone to endorse your product, at least get someone who uses, enjoys, and will stand by the quality of your product via their dedicated, long-term use of it, celebrity or not. Credibility is what sells, not “play acting” by some celebrity.
but it wasn’t the bullet that laid him to rest,
it was the low spark of high-heeled boys
Traffic, early 70s
we were right then, still so.
Rise up. Now.
Great tune….

Ok…I m done
Remember Bud is own by a European firm…..not a US firm .
there are hundreds if not thousands of capable non-WEF affiliated brewers out there crafting up our next favorite beer.
Out of those, there will hopefully be a brand NOT under the control of an ex-CIA officer; or, managed by the latest crop of “grow or die” ivy school business grads and mentoring WEFFERS
Everyone sees Whitworth and gang as the out-of-touch country club posers they have demonstrated themselves to be. Whitlessworthless has focus problems.
eff the man, stay local/independant, party on, MAGA.
Life is too short to drink bad beer.
They can do whatever they want.. they can rebrand it as the Beer Of Queens… for all I care.
There are sooo many good beers out there.
This CEO SNEAKILY does NOT say that although Anheiser-Busch may have been CREATED in America’s HEARTLAND, it was sold to a MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION BASED IN THE NETHERLANDS!!!
I have to wonder if this NETHERLANDS-based multinational corporation DONATED to the politicians there who were closing farms, turning over tractors with the protesting farmers still on them, and planning to shut down farming in that country???
My suspicious cat said, “Yes!”
Yup. InBev – its a Belgium company. Whitworth is also president of the North American “Zone”
This is the face of globalism.
“AB InBev 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. Our purpose is to Dream Big to Create a Future with More Cheers — a future that everyone can celebrate and everyone can share. Where we dream big to serve up new ways to meet life’s moments, move our industry forward, and make a meaningful impact in our communities and the world.”
SD…I heard he was a spook or affiliated in some way. Ugh can’t recall where I saw it.
You wanna apologize Whitworth? Set us up a keg party with horse teeth…..there goes my toxic masculinity.
OK I’m done being a smartass because this is NOT funny. Budweiser needs to burn in hell for what they did. That’s me deadly serious. They covered for this certain type of group after one of them shot up a Christian School. DOESN’T matter what kind of school; innocent children were hurt. I can’t even imagine the horror and the grief. And These mother f**** make a mockery of it by doing this…..SO NO ITs NOT A JOKE!!
He’s a Blackrock pretty boy. Groomed. CIA, quick diploma from Harvard, the set up on a post.
