Budweiser is now the Queen of Beers

I've created a Miller Lite thread now to talk about the Miller Lite issue.

Miller Lite: We're Sorry For Using Women in Bikinis in Past Ads

Miller Lite says using women in bikinis and lingerie was wrong. Miller Lite says their past advertising was shiit. Way to insult your customers! Pathetic! Guess who created this ad campaign? 2 women. Sofia Colucci (whose personal social media was filled with progressive talking points --...

I see no signs of Bud Light improving.

Miller Lite did release its ad before Bud Light's controversial ad started. Somehow, Bud Light took the heat first.

The Bud Light meltdown is good for America

Some corporation had to show how woke marketing could cost an iconic American brand dearly in terms of its image, its sales and its market capitalization.

Bud Light sales down nearly 30% compared to 2022 after partnership with transgender influencer

Bud Light sales dropped nearly 30% from last year after a boycott in response to its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, according to a report.

It's a shame that some Ivy League feminist had to ruin the brand of German immigrants to the United States.

When the Busch family males served as CEOs of Anheuser-Busch, they didn't let woke ideologies lead the business. Also, they had business operations in St. Louis and not in New York City. St. Louis is closer to middle America and closer to the consumer than out-of-touch urban limousine riding elitists in New York City.

I walked by some 12 packs of bud light yesterday at the grocery store and had the thought that it would be hilarious to get some rainbow flag stickers and place them on bud boxes as a form of social mischief.

Social media users shared images of Bud Light price tags at Costco marked with the "death star," signaling the product won't be restocked.

Costco will no longer sell Bud Light in its stores due to poor sales of Bud Light as a result of a woke marketing team.

Bud Light went woke with Dylan Mulvaney, got broke and may well permanently croak

Has Bud Light recovered from its Dylan Mulvaney disaster? Survey says: no. What did Bud Light do to make everybody mad? Pointlessly injected toxic politics into an easy-drinking lager.

Anheuser-Busch heir Billy Busch (stepbrother of former Anheuser-Busch CEO August Busch III) has offered to buy back the classic Anheuser-Busch brands such as Budweiser and Bud Light.

Side note --- August Busch III was President/CEO of Anheuser-Busch from 1975-2002. August Busch III's oldest son was August Busch IV. Busch IV was CEO of Anheuser-Busch when InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch in 2008.

It was acceptable to drink Budweiser or Bud Light prior to this story happening.

The Budweiser brand has suffered because of Bud Light.

I think people were pissed both at the Mulvaney promotion and Alissa Heinerscheid going on that podcast and insulting the customer base. People realized Anheuser-Busch was no longer the All-American company it was during the years the Busch family operated the company.

I don't know why they dare call Budweiser and Miller 'beer'. Technically, perhaps. Taste wise? Shandy.

No way, Shandy is much better. In the Caribbean, Shandy is how kids are introduced to beer. It is mixed 50/50 with soda.

Yeah that stuff is like rat piss. Not really a man's beer. Just goes to show how susceptible people are to branding and feelings.

I still refuse to drink any Anheuser-Busch brand. It seems like Bud Light has sustained permanent brand damage from this. Budweiser likely isn't doing well either.

It is good that Alissa Heinerscheid is no longer part of the company as per her own LinkedIn. Her boss Daniel Blake was also put on a leave of absence.

CEO Brendan Whitworth needs to get fired.

I will not drink any Anheuser-Busch branded beer and my life is going fine without Anheuser-Busch beers.
