Last week it was reported that Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris told investors during a conference call that Budweiser product sales drops in the U.S. and North America were no big deal when contrast against the global sales of the brand. “The Bud Light volume decline in the US over the first three weeks of April, as publicly reported, would represent around 1% of our overall global volumes for that period,” Doukeris said on the call. He focused attention on the company’s global reach, saying that Bud Light is just one beer within its portfolio and it’s not changing the company’s full-year outlook. {link}
Apparently, USA beer drinkers, specifically those who do not want to be identified as transgender men, are an insignificant bunch amid the world of beer drinking consumers. However, Doukeris might start paying a little more attention as the decline in total A-B products in North America is starting to become more significant. {Source}
It’s interesting that Coors Light and Miller Lite have sales increases surpassing the sales decline of Bud Light. This would seem to indicate hard brand switches, but Anheuser-Busch in North America held the corporate line and yesterday {source} told their distributors not to worry.
ST. LOUIS – Anheuser-Busch’s distributors from around the country met in St. Louis on Thursday. They heard firsthand about changes being made regarding the Bud Light transgender controversy.
Anheuser-Busch invited the distributors to the downtown Hyatt hotel for a yearly meeting on summer marketing plans. It was the first such meeting since transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s viral social media posts with Bud Light in early April. She received a special edition can with her picture on it.
Market analysts report Bud Light sales are still down more than 20% for the past month. Bud Light boycotts appear to be driving down sales of fellow Anheuser-Busch brands like Budweiser and Michelob Ultra, which are down but not as sharply.
[…] They appeared to adopt a “deflect and downplay” strategy, which almost never works. […] An Anheuser-Busch spokesperson confirms the company informed distributors of major changes in marketing structure, issuing the following statement:
“We regularly bring our wholesaler partners and leadership together to share upcoming brand and business plans. Hosting our May meeting in St. Louis is something we started last year and is an opportunity to bring our partners together in our hometown.
We have communicated some next steps with our internal teams and wholesaler partners. First, we made it clear that the safety and welfare of our employees and our partners is our top priority. Second, Todd Allen was appointed Vice President of Bud Light reporting directly to Benoit Garbe, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer. Third, we made some adjustments to streamline the structure of our marketing function to reduce layers so that our most senior marketers are more closely connected to every aspect of our brands activities. These steps will help us maintain focus on the things we do best: brewing great beer for all consumers, while always making a positive impact in our communities and on our country.”
Anheuser-Busch and its distributors have also sent letters to bars and other retailers explaining the situation, pointing out that a single marketing official engaged with Mulvaney. (read more)
As you can tell so far, despite the significant North American impacts to the products, the Diversity Equity and Inclusion outlook of the Anheuser-Busch global company is still strongly entrenched in the branding. It does not appear the company is going to modify anything as the very vocal Alphabet ideologues have them captive.
As noted by Dustin Smith, a business professor at Webster University who teaches college students how to manage the woke transition in corporate life, “the brewer has been supporting “Pride” events for years with no backlash. Smith predicted its brands would recover and most of its core customers would return.” {link}
Comrades, the global command and control authorities have spoken. The tranny fluid will continue to be supported until such time as those NASCAR watching, line dancing rednecks capitulate and start drinking it again. Look for significant ad buys on Twitter soon.
Keep watching.

Just learned that Stella Artois is also from the trans-juice makers at A-B, so not drinking that Schiff either.
Once was minding my own business and drinking a vanilla soy milk in Kabul because it was cold, sweet, and tasted good. This SEAL in our group comes up to me and says, “You know that has estrogen in it right? You WANT to grow t!ts?” Then he just walks away, and I never touched another vanilla soy milk–though I do indulge in a Horizon organic vanilla milk from time to time.
I wasn’t up on all the InBev and other woke conglomerates and not much of a beer drinker, being of Russian background I prefer vodka, but did drink a lot of Sierra Nevada and 805, local brands, over the decades. For now, it doesn’t appear the conglomerates have taken them over.
Never have tried soy milk. Living in dairy country since the 50’s, milk (and other dairy products like butter and cheese) came from cows and that’s what I know, and often purchased at the local dairies or acquired from the processors my business serviced. Almond milk, soy milk, all that stuff, alien.
Turns out that soy milk actually doesn’t taste very good, so they put a lot of sugar in so that it does. I was just drinking it because it was free in the freezers, but the sugar and calories provides another reason not to drink it–besides the plant-based estrogen that is: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/soy/#:~:text=Soy%20is%20unique%20in%20that,estrogenic%20or%20anti%2Destrogenic%20activity.
Hence the term “soy boys”.
OK, I can see where you’re going with this.
Modelo & Corona are also part of the Anheuser-Busch dysfunctional beer family.
The interesting point here is that corporations apparently have a leftist incentive that wasn’t originally clear to me. Might have to do with the natural stance of appeasing one’s customers — “the customer is always right.” Especially globalist corporations like InBev and others who are insulated and don’t have to deal with the consequences of their actions. This globalist corporate mindset is opposed to the warrior ethos of maintaining standards even to the point of violence if necessary.
It’s not just leftist incentive – it’s the having the same axiomatics to guide them. And obviously they’ve lost sight of that basic business axiom about the customer that you quote. In short, what we’re seeing is quite telling; their mindset has become so different from that of their customer base that they can’t even acknowledge the latter.
Which is why dumping them is so important. Its literally us vs them, and we are 90% of the population
The doofus and corporate board that allowed this actually HATE their customer base, otherwise, they would not have poked their eyes a few days before Easter, the same time that the Trans murdered Christian children in Nashville. It is almost as if the two events were intentionally planned to coincide on Holy Thursday and Good Friday.
Thank you Kid Rock for the ‘clear and succinct’ response.
I take pity on the front line sales and marketing professionals at Bud, though many may be learning the lesson that being a corporate slave is intolerable and antithetical to self-respect.
the best beer i ever tasted was in the 90’s.. el presidente.. dominican.. they’re prob sold out, too…?
Sorry, but I think you will find those brands are licensed to Constellation Brands. Constellation got its start in New York finger lakes area wine production but at some point became US importer of Corona and the beer biz has become a significant part of the company.
And there was I thinking Corona was a virus from an American owned lab in Wuhan.
Yes, and I admit that I am having a difficult time wanting to punish the Mexican branch of the InBev ‘family’ for what the Woke branch did to itself, though maybe I simply need a little encouragement from Treehouse Peeps?
Heineken is also on this group, along with manh others. I used to drink Stella and Heineken, no longer after this. Just local brews now.
No more Bud Light here, and I guess no more Heineken. Yes will stick with the local brands and Coors Light. Alot of Bud Light on the shelves around here and price drops to induce sales not helping much.
Coors Light. That’s redundant. Might as well just drink tap water.
Have never been a fan of the ‘Adoph’ Coors brand…
Yuengling is better
MANY brands are under huge corp umbrellas.. like 11 entities own all.. u may think its local, family, etc…. then you find out they sold out!
Of course. Stella Artois parent InBev bought out Anheuser-Busch in 2008.
If you like rice beer, stick to your Bud.
Yuengling’s time has come
Sooo…what do they do when people in the rest of the world who don’t think kook weirdo tranny creeps are good for society catch up with the marketing campaign?
The rest of the world does not know about the degeneracy fluid and the backlash AT ALL. You see what you are allowed to see.
This is another interesting aspect of this business – promoting transgenderism is strictly a Western malady. Some other societies may tolerate it, but no one outside the West actually promotes it. (In fact, I wonder if they have used this ad in markets abroad; I’ll bet they haven’t because they knew better. I would be interesting to nail this point down.)
i think alex trebec is rolling in the grave.. jeopardy with the trannies and purple hairs.. they sneak them in.. i think ratings crashed so bad they stuck a ‘masters tourney’ in the middle of the newest trans champion’s run.. i know I see that person and i turn it off
I don’t see how Bud Light and regular Budweiser recover. Honestly, there are any number of similar products on the market at the same price point – see Miller and Coors sales increases.
It’s not like you’d really notice or miss it.
They recover the way Billy Squier recovered–they don’t.
A-B will recover because they are a GLOBAL company. They are also flexing their power and mocking us – showing that they do not care about our actions or America for that matter. They are laughing at us because we think America is the center of the universe, but to a global company, we are not – they can make up that 1% loss elsewhere on the globe.
The people that will suffer will be the American distributors who have to pivot quickly to other products to make up the gap.
In order to make this remotely effective, it cannot be a boycott, it has to be a permanent brand switch.
I think A-B products are very vulnerable to a permanent brand switch.
1) This beer falls into a catagory of status/image brands; brands that make a clear statement (via marketing) about who the user is and who they want others to see them as being. Cars and Rolex watches are other examples of projecting to others something about who one is. Bud Light had a very clear brand and personal identity attached —which they took a wrecking ball to.
2) Public vs Private use –Products that are more protected from boycotts tend to be privately used products out of the public eye. Beer is a social product.
3) It’s a cheap beer with plenty of convenience alternatives. Convenient alternatives is a key ingredient of a successful boycott.
4) Bud Light’s carefully crafted customer image marketed over the years was the only thing differentiating it from other alternatives. With that gone . . .
All the ingredients are there for the damage to be permanent.
Nobody wants to tolerate gay pride parades anymore. The transgender targeting 0f our children has pushed us too far.
You’re spot on HJ! Hope they laugh their way to the bank and then cry coming back!
They will recover a bit when we all recognize the other brands supporting the “Pride” agenda too.
And they all do to some extent.
Pride goeth before a fall, and after that the Judgement.
Harley Davidson, the makers of the best gasoline powered motorcycles in history, now makes electric bicycles. They are stopping production of a financially successful product so they will be more aligned with the goals of the WEF.
These aren’t financial decisions. These are fascist cooperation between governments and corporations to FORCE a lifestyle change.
WHAT!?? had no idea.
Don’t know that they are stopping any production of their prime cruiser and touring bikes. They did create a new Livewire division for electrics. I wouldn’t write off electrics as a “lifestyle” change, unless your lifestyle requires hearing loss.

Used to be a regular Bud drinker before the Dylan effort came about….Visited the Bud plant in St Louis every time I went through and could repeat “this is the famous Budweiser beer slogan in my sleep”. In fact… saw where the original Budweiser plant was in Budapest before the brothers came to America.
Since the InBev purchase, the Bud brand is not as good as it used to be…taste was off…probably due to cost cutting.
I switched to Coors heavy since.
Bottom line is the product is just not that good anymore. Recovery? …I don’t see it…the other brands will gain market share and IF they recover it will be a long time.
So it’s not all about the Dylan controversy…the product isn’t that good anymore.
It’s likely worse then they are letting on. All the numbers I’m seeing are noting declines from previous months… not comparing to previous years, for the same month.
More beer is bought in the warmer months so it’s not surprising that other brands are seeing increases more than BL is claiming to have lost.
This Bud is for fools…get woke, go broke. KEEP YOUR PISSWATER
Yesterday I was walking past the beer aisle and glanced that way to see the prime shelf space (that companies often pay extra for) heavily dominated by Bud products. The only person in the aisle was a gentleman who was leaning way down scanning the bottom shelf for alternate options. I smiled and walked on.
My Walmart 😂😂😂
And the really amusing thought is, between this information, DeSanta making his travel records private, Samantha Power-although it gives me heartburn to type that name-bloviating around this rock we call home, and everything else that is occuring, we have still not reached peak insanity, which has the possibility of being uglier than 90 percent of people want to admit, because that does not fit inside their illusion of control. More Fool Them.
This is going to get me in a lot of trouble, but for more than a year I have thought that what’s worse than what we’ve had shoved in our faces is this: ritual child sacrifice and cannibalism. Molech, Ashtoreth-type stuff. The sky is the limit.
And interestingly, God, who dominates the heavens, really is the limit!
Lean insanity.
Maybe we can create a sunblock-esque product to damage from the long term effects of being exposed the peak insanity crap.
“The Bud Light volume decline in the US over the first three weeks of April, as publicly reported, would represent around 1% of our overall global volumes for that period,” Doukeris said on the call.

Just like Disney. The mind is poisoned and beyond reason at this point.
Not true. A one percent downturn in sales comes right out of the gross profit. Most of the sales volume above a certain amount, when considering a mass market good, represents profit.
AB was giving Budweiser away to local employees… Costco had a 30 pack for $15… Budweiser is going down and AB needs to suffer too.
Fenway Park is in Boston. You’d think that people who go to baseball games aren’t necessarily the same as the liberal elite that are rampant in MA.
Everyone goes to ball games, there is an embarrassment factor that will be at play all summer. People will not be buying Bud to take to the beach, picnics and barbecues.
They will play it safe and bring Coors or something better. Tim Pool had a piece on this and he’s dead right.
What bugs me as a woman is the ultimate charade that DM is. He is mocking woman and trivializing them. He’d be condemned if he wore blackface and mocked blacks, but women are fair game.
As a male I see that fact you point out is going over many peoples heads. That fact was the first thing out of my mouth to my wife! Same thing with the men competing against women! Where’s the feminists? MOVE? If it wasn’t for women none of us would be here. Cause the truth of the matter is men can’t have babies! Tell that to a lefty and you get the tsk tsk. People should find all of this crap revolting.
The feminist only march for one thing anymore. The right to kill their unborn up to birth.
We are 3 generations into media brainwashing, cut the cord, shut the fake news down.
Losers always live in a state of denial. A-B can spew as much BS as they want but that doesn’t change reality and absolve them from the fact that their own stupid, yes stupid as there is no other way to describe it, decision making and actions alienated the core customer base that caused their demise. The basic lesson failure to be learnt is that if you’re going to urinate in a toilet you better lift the seat cover first or your going to be inundated with the backsplash and stench up yourself, the room and everyone around you. In other words, you’re sure not going to be drawing a crowd around you.
My daughter, 53, was a Stella drinker, but has now made sure she has NONE of the A-B brands (and there are many) in her house. Yuengling has been my favorite for a few years, the traditional/original lager, which is a little heavy for her, but she got enough of each of their kinds and decided she really likes the Pilsner. Recommend the Pilsner and the Original, and you will be supporting a company NOT tied to any of the big wokies.
Yep ruth, Yuengling is MY choice! For years. I drink the Flight brand now, gotta watch my carbs and calories these days pushing 73 but still imbibing now and then.
Every single product AB makes should not be purchased by anyone not just BL the queer of beers.
I’ve been drinking Heineken virtually my entire adult life. I just love the taste; I think it’s the perfect balance between the bitterness of hops and the sweetness of malt, and also has sufficient body, unlike the dreaded light beer. Additionally, light beer contains a ridiculously low percentage of alcohol, relative to the standard “baseline” of average beers; of course, IPAs can be very high in alcohol content (relative to other beers).
I was very upset when Heineken ditched their unique stubby bottle in favor of the pedestrian long-neck. I thought of boycotting them for this, but only for about a day.
I think redneck, white/black/ Latino/ all other, blue collar, college educated (but not brain washed) normal men have had enough. Enough of these brands, churches, health systems, government entities etc. funding the destruction of our society – especially pushing this destructive garbage at our kids.
I predict those Anheiser Bush sales are gone forever – and more brands will be impacted as normal men (and families) demand these people stop pushing this LGBTQ & Diversity/Equity/ Inclusion poison at us. BTW …. many of these retailers Target, Kohl’s, etc. are pushing LGBTQ clothes in their kids departments …. take control of your families destiny & health … AND TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE!!!! And let them know why!!!
Kohls is going bankrupt and will likely be liquidated in two years’ time.
Took a while but they’re too stupid to realize what they did. they’re still being stupid. What’s that saying? “you can’t fix stupid” saw a shirt online that had “duct tape can’t fix stupid but it can muffle the sound” Too funny!
A-B pretends they are OK just like their tranny pretends to be a woman. Like Foghorn chicken-I say there is tooo much pretenin going on around her.
Alissa belittled the customers she wanted to transition away from. Customers she did not care about. I originally thought it was her moving up the ladder too quickly. But when the CEO of In Bev says it is only 1% of sales and nothing to worry about. Alissa fits right in with the rest of the executives. In Bev is just too big. When a company is so large and does not care about customers, customers need to find a competitor that values them. When a customer has a problem and you call customer service and you wait for an hour, that company is too big. We need to break them up; so that customers mean something again.
Fast food places. Employees HATE the customer and HATE their jobs.
Not underlined was that Busch and Natural Light were down a total of 11.3% but Keystone and Pabst Blue Ribbon were UP 19.6%! This is a hard switch, this is the poor mans stuff, and they won’t come back soon. PBR just had a gold mine fall in thier lap.
When I was young and looking for coins in the couch…PBR was my go-to beer.
Reminiscing…it’s great to hear they are up in sales…
Darkness enjoys masquerading as virtue.
It’s kinda sexy from the right angle, and headboards could be smashed. But the woke crap is just there for a bit of fun. If anyone takes themselves to seriously with being woke, it’s an easy pass.
Bud Light Lime, next to a pool in summer-summer-summertime?! Fuggetaboutit. I don’t care what the corporate shills do, I won’t let them ruin that for me. Im certain their hell is a the same as others who live by the shared code of greed/control.
When Bud Light had a proper sense of humor about men pretending to be women…
Funny & fun commercials … all BEFORE Soros and his Committee of EVIL infested all Corporate Boards & Executive Offices with politically correct WOKE snobs and DEI insane elites … regurgitating wordSalad nonsense to impress each other … NOT the customer.
Went to Chili’s last night, Boise, Idaho. Waitress said no one’s drinking bud light there….
They(bud ) are right…my fellow American’s….except for maybe a hundred million that are illeagals….we will fall right back into line in a short while….look how things went with the kneelers in the football league…business as usual. We will follow until we’ve already jumped off the cliff before we wake up to what they’ve been doing to us. Everything in our country is corrupt all the way from the white house clear down to the utility companies that provide your power and water. Only god has the power needed to set it right.
Nope !
The everyday, beer drinking, working man may ignore political, religious, etc boycotts … but … having already noticed deviants coming after children in libraries and stealing athletic accomplishments from female athletes … budLite rubbed it in his face … insulted him, his wife, daughter & granddaughter by celebrating a deviant male as a female & the new face of BL … They. Are. Done.
Transsexuals are a minority and always will be. What the hell was Anheuser-Busch thinking?
The only thing I can think of is they weren’t thinking.
Drinking beer has nothing to do with sexual orientation.(Other than heightening the attractions and lowering the inhibitions among humans in every orientation including transsexualism).
WOKE … like all things liberal … Do. Not. Think. … they avoid or ignore facts & truths … they only respond to their feelings.
Try Kirin, Asahi and Sapporo. Japanese beer tastes great, is not less filling, and does not support the tranny gestapo.
This is a vintage Carling Black Label Beer Commercial.
You could buy a quart bottle of this stuff for about a buck. When I was a teen in the ’60’s we would pick some up at a drive up window at a liquor store and go out drinking after work. You only had to be 18 back then. After a bottle of this we would be singing, “Mabel, get off the table, quarter’s for a beer…” LOL.
Back in the 60’s! what good times! Had an uncle who used to drink BL and another Iron city.He used to keep his beer on the outside basement steps. I snuck down the steps one summer day and pilfered a case of BL, took it to the firehall I belonged to as a junior fireman. Me and my buddies had a good time drinking and whupping it up. Next day my uncle called me over when he saw me outside. He calmly said to me you owe me a case of beer sonny! He said I was going to get my beer and saw you through the window on the door. If you don’t replace my beer in one hour I’m gonna tell your mom, she’ll cut your you know what’s off! Then he just gave that famous laugh of his. I was 17 years old.
Your name Phillie fan brings back memories. My Uncle Bud was Travelling Secretary for the Phillies for many years. He got me a team ball signed by all the team in either ’62 or ’63. I still have a Johnny Callison bat and two year books from the early ’60’s.
I’ll have a double rock in rye and 7 Carlings…
My son works in management for a beer distributor in south Jersey. All Budweiser sales are down by 30%! Their largest contributor is Bud, so that’s hurting his company. When he told me that my response was “oh well” gotta improvise son. Make an adjustment. I told him I’ve never liked any Bud product except on occasion Michelob. I’m a big Yuengling fan!
I feel sorry for the distributors and the sports vendors. They didnt do anything will surely pay the price.
These people have had enough time to pivot to something else and cover these losses, I’m sure.
Of course, they can sell BL for $1 a can…..
This idiot ceo is attempting to reduce the panic so stockholders don’t bolt en masse.
I’m hearing they are giving away bud light to all employees because the shelf life is or will expire soon.
Coors and Miller lite are deviant retred marxist lovers too. Stop buying all of that swill as well. When all 3 see 25% declines then, maybe!, they will reconsider repenting. When they lose 50% of their business the gay pedophile lovers will be be chased out of office by the shareholders. Shifting from one deviant supporter to another achieves NOTHING.
“The Bud Light volume decline in the US over the first three weeks of April, as publicly reported, would represent around 1% of our overall global volumes for that period,”…
Let me get this straight – The CEO is bragging about losing 1% of global sales volume in a mere 3 weeks and contending it is a non-issue???
That is a staggering fast and large loss. That comes straight out of profit.
What business school did this idiot graduate from?
He reminds me of the Sales Manager who tried to put a smile on his disastrous sales record by saying, “Yeah, we’re losing money on each unit sold, but we will make it up in volume.”
I don’t know anyone in my circle of family, friends, or acquaintances who would touch a Bud Light can these days. If they were drinking Bud Light, they’re not now and they’re definitely NOT going back. Doukeris is totally ‘tone deaf’ …. but then we knew that already with the Mulvaney marketing decision, right? AB thinks if they just hold tight, they can straddle the picket fence (ouch!) and keep both sides happy …. they need to sell beer to their large non-queer base, but they can’t appear non-woke either & now trannies & gay bars are boycotting their product. Between a rock & a hard place …. self-inflicted. I laugh every time I see Bud Light not selling at ball games, etc.

ol’ Brendan totally misread the battlefield. He had a shot early on to potentially arrest the slide but he pussed out with his non-apology/ can’t we all just get along statement. So he’s not so good at accountability either. I guess his Marine/CIA pedigree didn’t serve him very well.

What’s the challenge?(snip)
I’m glad that the Bud Light and general Anheuser-Busch InBev boycott is working as it has sent a strong message that normal, grassroot people hate trannyism and have the financial clout to fight back against it.
I abhor the establishment’s current push to normalize trannyism as well as the fact that every mainstream news article, including those from the supposedly conservative Fox and other Murdoch owned media outlets, refers to the Bud Light tranny with female pronouns.
That is absurd as one doesn’t magically change their sex by trying to make themselves look like the opposite sex or by identifying as the opposite sex You remain the sex you were born with for the duration of your life whether you like it or not.
It’s disgusting that employers, schools, and other establishment institutions expect and demand that their employees and students comply with the pronouns of choice of trannies. I will not comply with another person’s delusions about their sexual identity.
I appreciate that Sundance referred to the Bud Light tranny as a “transgender man” and not a transgender woman as establishment sources do.
The Bud Light tranny is an obnoxious male who is mockingly imitating females. He should only be referred to as a male with male pronouns.
Voting with your dollars and your feet by not patronizing, affiliating with, or otherwise supporting woke institutions is important. Voting with your dollars is the most effective way to make your voice heard and to effect change.
Some oddly argue that voting with your dollars is somehow bad or not in line with conservative values which is bizarre. Supporting bad behavior with your money is what is truly bad. No one is obligated to spend money with institutions that engage in bad behavior or do not reflect one’s values.
Part of the reason so many institutions have gone woke is that they think that the money will keep flowing in no matter what they do.
It’s important to vote with your dollars on anything and everything that you support or oppose. There is a town near me that imposed a woke fee on single use paper and plastic shopping bags. I oppose that so I stopped shopping there. Unfortunately, most people in the area continue to shop in that town, so the woke bag fee continues.
The Pritzker family supports trannyism with their fortune. The Pritzkers can be partially defunded by not patronizing Hyatt hotels, which they own and is their primary business.
Hyatt hotels are particularly easy to boycott as they are typically located in major metropolitan areas and resort areas with numerous nearby alternatives. There isn’t a single instance that I know of where a Hyatt would be the only locally available hotel choice.
As a lifelong grassroot conservative Illinoisan, I hate that JB Pritzker is the governor of Illinois and boycotting Hyatt is a good way to push back against him and his family.
It’s interesting to note that Anheuser Busch InBev held their most recent meeting with their distributers at the downtown St. Louis Hyatt. I live in the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis and know for a fact that there are numerous other luxury convention hotels in the St. Louis area that would be equally capable of hosting this meeting.
This is a case of two like minded woke companies supporting each other.
The CEO of Anheuser-Busch InBev made condescending public comments that the current boycott barely impacts the company as it’s a global company and strong international sales make up for a boycott that is mainly in America.
It’s crucial to send a strong message to Anheuser-Busch InBev and other woke companies by continuing the boycott now and permanently.
Bud Light will now and forever be tranny fluid.

Just passing this along FYI, and for awareness.
Coors announced they are hiring Yellowstone’s, RIP, as their new media rep!
I think they should just re-label themselves Dixie Chicks Beer and admit that they hate their *previous* target market and prefer only more sophisticated buyers, even if it means less sales.
Besides, it seems they think they will make it up with tax dollars transferred to them via ESG.
Appealing to the tastes and largess of the woke worked well for the Chicks? Right?
I heard the Chicks secured a steady Concert In the Park gig for all the cool cities like Portland, Austin, LA, etc., where they play for the homeless populations there. And now that they are also offering free Bud Light at these events, attendance is way up!
On second thought, they could call it Di*kless Chicks Beer. 😀
Don’t worry, people are still going to buy the Studebaker, it’s just a phase that will pass!!! 😆
A Google search will reveal that many brands are included in Anheuser-Busch portfolio, including Michelob and Rolling Rock. For those jumping on the Coors and Miller bandwagon, again, google is your friend. Takes 30 seconds to find they promote and support the LGTBQ agenda. Red Stripe is looking pretty good about now.
I don’t think even groveling is gonna save them, although I wouldn’t mind seeing em give it a try. 🙂
InBev sales decline was limited by available alternatives. Competitors needed one month to brew and shelve options.
