You don’t think a corporation cares about a 21.4% profit loss over night that shows no signs of correcting itself anytime soon, if ever? I think you’re wrong about that. And they didn’t anticipate this kind of blowback. They thought people would let it slide or forget about in a few days or a week or two. Happy to know they were wrong about that. A message needs to be sent to them and other companies engaging in the same Tranny pandering bullshite.

Step dad downs a 6 pack of bud light tall boys nightly. Been doing that for 20 years. My mom sent a picture of their fridge several nights back and it was loaded with coors






Turn him on to Yeungling and count it as a good deed. They do make tall boys but they're not stocked everywhere. They probably will be soon with this free shelf space opening up.

Then you aren't paying attention. Went to a crawfish boil Saturday, all the former bud light drinkers were drinking Coors. 8-10 former bud light drinkers.


Really? I figured wrong.....I know when I was drinking beer, I had my brand /taste, and that was it.

Good stuff!

So what's the over/under on InBev dumping AB at a fire sale price? I'll say eight months.

A lot of people who are regular beer drinkers prolly will not change brand/taste because of this non-sense.

Went to a Tyler Childers concert in Arkansas a couple weeks ago. Saw three bud lights all night. The only thing keeping A/B’s numbers from being much worse is the amount of people still drinking mic ultra

American-style lagers differ slightly from brand to brand but it's not a huge change.

You would think if they told their existing customers to piss off, their new customers would make up the difference.


Yep, I'm shocked .00007% of the population they catered to isn't helping them .

Found out recently that they moved world HQ’s from STL to NYC. An old marketing VP was quoted as saying they’ve been slowly transitioning to wokeism and are entrenched in the 3 letter alphabet craze like: DEI, ESG, etc…

Apparently, many in the LGBT…. Community are also pissed at AB for backtracking and taking no position at all.

The #'s are much worse than what they are showing.

The reason it got worse week by week was that the bud trucks kept pushing stock in to stores and gas stations. They were able to over stock the stores for a week or two which masked the decline. Those stores are busting at the seams with Bud light now.
The beer cooler is full, the shelf is full and there is several pallets in the back of the store. They wont be taking in any more.

Only down by 21.4%?


There are still tens of millions of people who don't even know about this controversy. They don't follow meme wars and 8chan and whatnot. That's why it's "only" 21.4%.

Also please understand this controversy didn't even hit until halfway through April, so those April numbers only reflect half the damage. It's much closer to 50% losses since the controversy started than 21%.

You'll see it in the May numbers. Unless they find a way to rig them, by counting free beer as a sale.

I can see them allowing distributers/stores to get credit for unsold out of date product. Kind of like they do for damaged goods. They can then replenish that stock and it counts as a sale.

Here is the quarterly earnings for AB announced last week. Won't report actuals for another 90 days. Sales are up 12%. No doubt sales will decline in the next quarter unless other brands pick up the pace.

Did you even open the link? That was for quarter 1 which ended 31 Mar. Tranny beer started 1 Apr.

For Apr they are down big, but it got bigger every week. Its getting worse not better. But it is not a 12% increase, that is just true.
