First of all, drink liquor at the airport, not beer, unless you like suddenly having to piss really really bad as soon as the seatbelt light comes on.

Secondly, the fact AB Inbev owns pretty much every swag beer in the country isn't the point, because the point isn't to boycott Inbev, it's to boycott one specific brand that decided to go woke, and send a message that we humble redneck folks in flyover country actually exist, have values, and have a voice even it if isn't out of a NYC highrise news studio, and believe it or not, we also have money and make up the largest single consumer base in the country. Keep your bullshite politics or social virtue signalling out of the products we consume, or we will reject them, and you will suffer.

Best thing that brand can do now is put out a Kid Rock bud light can, if they ever want to bring back the brand. Short of that, just kill the brand, call it something else, and keep selling it.

Get a Jai Alai from Cigar City. Almost every bar in the Orlando airport has it. Small brewery out of Tampa. Give them the $$$ that people USED to give Bud Light.


Its a great beer, but a big change from a bud light to a 7.5 ABV IPA.

really has nothing to do with that specifically. It is about alienating your customer base and target demographic. The political nature of that will be irrelevant to business and marketing classes


Trying to think of another example of a company that even came close to this level of fallout in history...can yall think of anything?

You can’t buy anything from a major corporation if you want to boycott any company that’s ever had a rainbow flag posted in their logo.
Local breweries it is!

They are probably farther left than AB, Coors and Miller who do it for show and ESG points.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say a bunch of hipsters and their local brewery don’t align with my views. Big thing is as long as they don’t shove their bullshite in my face I’ll drink the shite out of it.

I wouldn’t think most people even realize corona is owned by AB


Seems this has to be corrected in every BL thread. Corona and Modelo are owned by Constellation Brands in the US, and AB InBev gets no money from their sales in the US. AB owns their rights outside of the US.

Yes. The woman who’s brainchild was the Budlight tranny campaign had an MBA. A university education isn’t really an accomplishment at all anymore.

While I pretty much agree with your post, a boycott of bud light is great

A boycott of all AB/InBev products is even better
