According to Beer Business Daily, AB volumes were down over 12% last month, led by Dylan Mulvaney poster boy, Bud Light, which was down a staggering 21.4%.

Molson Coors was up 7%, while both Miller Lite and Coors Light were in the double-digits. And how about Yuengling!?

America’s Oldest Brewery showed everyone what staying power is all about, skyrocketing over 14% last month while also sending subtle warning shots via Twitter at Bud Light.

Yeah, it is bad.

If those lost sales hold up, AB not only won’t make up those sales but they also have a ton of volume of BL they couldn’t pay people to drinkz

Only down by 21.4%?

Must be a lot more trannies running around than I thought to keep them propped up

How many people never buy Bud Light in the first place? I can't remember the last time I bought Bud Light. I won't be buying it ever again either. But I'm, like many others, not part of the 21.4% drop.

Those are distributor sales and not individual sales.

And I’m sure a bunch of those orders were put in well before this mess happened.

I think it’s Michelob Ultra. I doubt most of its consumers even know who makes it. (AB)

I’m amazed that the trannies haven’t stepped up their Bud Light purchases since it’s their official beer. You would think if they told their existing customers to piss off, their new customers would make up the difference.

was in small town mountain NC this past weekend. went on a beer run.. always looking for blue moon (whatever, I like it). first place had no beer (ABC store with only liquor. FCK!!).
then went to a dollar general. and they ONLY had completely packed shelves of AB stuff. FCK! went to another gas station and finally settled on Coors light because I was tired of trying to find a 6 pack.

it's anecdotal but it's also millions and millions of folks' anecdote.

You can boycott BL and other AB products if it makes you feel better. But don’t think big companies like them give a crap about losing money. That is what ESG is. They’re gonna push a work agenda regardless if they never make another dollar. Because customers do not matter to these people anymore. They look at themselves as your masters

Last time i bought it was to stock coolers for a party at the house. Never bought it for personal consumption to begin with.

But i’ll be damned if i ever buy another case for someone else to even turn down.

They will care at a point when investors turf the board for this shite.

One marketing retard has put the largest beer brand in the US into a death spiral because she trashed the customers. Someone will eventually force the board to answer for it if the live shares (not Blackrock, etc) are enough to control the composition of the board.

Watching the way they are panicking right now tells me you are wrong.

I understand you are just the latest bot trying to convince us otherwise, though. They will eventually figure out that's not working too well either, I'd imagine.

In fact, that is ALL "they" care about.

But the people that do buy it buy ALLOT on a regular basis.

Eta: back when we had our company hunting camp that was easily 6 cases a weekend for a crew of around 10-12 along with a couple handles of crown

AB reaps what it sows.
On another note, I hate the taste of mainstream beer anyway. Only fruit-flavored beer-type drinks such as Angry Orchard taste good to me.

Thing is, the sales numbers got worse each week. So expect May to be down much more as it took time to trickle down to everyone. And they have some gimmicks to use to distort (hide) bad sales for a bit but not for long. Its a bloodbath and getting worse.

Love seeing Yuengling numbers was wondering about them.

Why do you think the government and the big banks and companies that work for them it’s their wet dream to get rid of cash and have a social credit system like China has? Because they don’t care about dollars and cents anymore. The proof is in their actions

Desantis not that I agree with him on everything or even most things, but he understands this which is why he signed a bill banning CBDC in Florida

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
