It’s too late. I think they’ve lost about a quarter of their customers who are never coming back.
Their marketing during pride month is gonna be interesting.

The end goal I think is to make it so incredibly painful to do something stupid that no one else would think to do it.
If the boycott ends the bud light brand then the boycott ends, otherwise enjoy your messaging bud light.

Did something happen in the shitty beer market?

Smh at y’all drinking that chicom ying ling
Tell me you don't know shite about Yuengling without telling me you don't know shite about them.
It's the oldest active brewery in the U.S. having been in operation since 1829 in Pottsville, PA.
The original owner was brewer David Jungling who came to the U.S. from Germany in 1828. He anglicized his name to Yuengling.

I'm going camping this weekend and it will be my first time buying beer since the boycott. I'm really interested to see how the beer aisle looks when I go to Kroger at lunch.

If you actually enjoy bud light, and this makes you stop doing something you have enjoyed your whole life, then you may have problems. Just don’t drink it out the tranny can.

I switched to Dos Equis - GOOD STUFF
Frick Bud
Dos Equis, Tecate, and Sol are all produced by Heineken-owned Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery, based in Monterrey, Mexico. The brewery was founded in 1890 and currently operates in several locations throughout Mexico: Monterrey, Guadalajara, Toluca, Tecate, Orizaba, and Meoqui.Dec 21, 2018

Bud Light is desperate to rebuild their image. They’re running ads during the draft of straight people in boots at a Zac Brown Band concert drinking Bud Light
Once again Bud Light misses the point. No real Baw digs Zac Brown band anymore. They are ok. At least it wasn’t Keith Urban or Rascall Flatts. But if they wanted it over, they’d had Kid Rock music instead.
It got me to thinking, besides this debacle, what other stupid thing could a company do overnight to kill their brand?
- smokeless tobacco company saying they hate baws, rednecks, cowboys, fishermen, police, and baseball players?
- Starbucks making fun of white chicks?
- Popeyes switching to grilled chicken salads?
I think the whole Bud Light thing wasn’t that it was so egregious but it became that last straw of wokeness that broke the camels back. Primarily because it was such a passive way to protest. Every evening when you stop to buy a 12 pack, you grab a different brand. You’re at the bar with a buddy, you order one of the other 18 brands they have. You don’t have to get out in the street and hold a sign or post some anti-whatever slogan you want to. Most dudes aren’t on Facebook so they don’t have to post themselves drinking some non AB beer.
They just buy something else.
I’m not ———phobic or hate anyone and I’ve always drank the white cans long before this crap came up. So I didn’t partake in any protest. I just kept drinking my own brand.
I just think this whole thing will be taught in sales and marketing classes for years to come.

I m starting to see a lot of MSM articles explaining how it is just a glitch, caused by bigoted conservatives, and will all return to normal soon. They say that memory is short, and people will come back with a vengeance.

Plus it would be embarrassing to hold a BL in your hand publicly.

When was the last time you bought a Bud Light? I was thinking about that (either in a bar or in a store), and I honestly can't remember. I'm guessing it would probably be somewhere around 1988 as a Freshman in college. I can honestly say, I don't believe I've bought a Bud Light in 35 years.
The Trans-marketing idea is idiotic...but I really don't know who was buying this trash in the first place. Bud Light is like the fattest girl at fat camp.
ETA...how could anyone in marketing at Bud Light put this tranny on the can instead of the likeness of Dale Earnhardt? Know your consumer, damnit.

There is a convenience store in Mobile that keeps Bud Lights and Ultra aluminum bottles in a 28 degree cooler. So damn good, and it's the only time I buy Bud Light. Interested to see if Bebo's kids change the selection. Pretty sure old Mr. Bebo would.....

Have the Mockler's made a statement on this? They have to be feeling it too.

I heard a Shilling Distributing Ad run numerous times on the radio here saying they disagreed with the Producers but please buy the product so they don't lose their jobs. I'd be in touch with Coors right about now.

Hired an ad agency that ran a series of "Drink Schlitz, or I/we will kill you" ads.
They thought it would be lighthearted, fun and comical.
