They could start making better beer but I question if even that would be enough.

Consequences will never be the same for Bud Light.

1) Fire everyone remotely involved with this - from the CEO to the courier that brought the specs for the can to the printer.

2) Renounce any and all ESG related actions and policies, including DEI.

3) Announce InBev and all of its brands will not take any positions on political issues and will not sponsor any such activities.

4) Admit they screwed up and they are sorry.

Weird thing is other corporations are joining them. I believe it's called mass suicide.

There's no recovering.

Once the market checks out other brands, they'll stick with them.

Also AB screws over microbrews. This is like watching Microsoft tumble.

i know you are just trolling, but i'll play the game

first answer this question, why should someone buy AB vs any other beer out there when AB is the worst tasting?

counterpoint: why would one willingly have bought Bud Light before this fiasco?


This. Once their core market tries better beers, it’s over for them

Exactly. Make your point with where you spend your money. Will never give them another penny. That’s power, more than any crying on a message board.

Bud Lite is at the far end of a list of non-beer beers, it is so watered down it has no distinctive flavor, so one brand tastes exactly like another, nothing. Without a flavor to set it apart, BL relies solely on brand loyalty, they destroyed that link to most of their drinkers.

Who wants to take crap for drinking 'gay beer' when you really don't prefer it over other brands. They might as well take it off the shelves and start over. Personally, I only drank it out of a large cooler at a tailgate party, I prefer an IPA, beer should taste like beer.

I worked today in an HEB in Montgomery County TX doing beer sampling.

The beer manager told me his Bud Light sales for his store were down over 300% (maybe he meant 30%) and he still had cases that were still in stock from Easter. He said Texas sales are down over 20%.

I worked for 3 hours today and did not see a single cart with Bud Light in them.

This thing has major legs.

If they resurrected Real Men of Genius and made it about how dumb the PR executive was, and then maybe a few more playing off of that campaign, maybe.

Bud light might never recover as it is currently branded.

I laugh at so many of the responses in this thread. Most of the responses are from the occasional/casual beer drinker. The typical Bud Light drinker doesn’t sit down with one or two out of a six pack. It’s a 6/12 pack at a time guy.

The regular BL drinker will move on to another light beer.

The progressive pivot from “lolz boycott isn’t really having any affect look at the stock price” to “the boycotters are just meanies that hate lgbsujcahktsbmcxxzgmiedv+” is a site to behold for sure.
