re: Anheuser-Busch closing 3 large breweries

This was a Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion hire who moved rapidly up the corporate food chain straight out of college not because of any knowledge of the market, skill set or work ethic but simply because she attended the correct schools and dutifully regurgitated the indoctrination she received at those schools.
That smug, entitled and hypocritical b*+ch is the face of everything that is wrong with corporate America.
What the Bud Light Fiasco Reveals about the Ruling Class….
….Ads are supposed to sell products, not prompt a massive public backlash that results in billions in losses. This mistake could be for the ages, marking a distinct departure from corporate deference to wackadoodle ideas from the academy and a push for more connection to on-the-ground realities.
The person who made the miscalculation is Alissa Gordon Heinerscheid, Vice President in charge of marketing for Bud Light. She explained that her intention was to make the beer King of ‘Woke’ Beers. She wanted to shift away from the “out of touch” frat party image to one of “inclusivity.” By all accounts, she actually believed this. More likely, she was rationalizing actions that would earn her bragging rights within her social circle.
Digging through her personal biography, we find all the predictable signs of tremendous detachment from regular life: elite boarding school (Groton, $65K a year), Harvard, Wharton School, coveted internship at General Foods, and straight to top VP at the biggest beverage company in the world.
Somehow through all that, nothing entered her brain apart from elite opinion on how the world should work with theories never actually tested by real-world marketing demands. Would that she had worked at Chick-fil-A at some point in her teen years, perhaps even preserving some friend relationships ever since. It might have protected her from this disastrous error.
She is a perfect symbol of a problem that afflicts high-end corporate and government culture: a shocking blindness toward the mainstream of American life, including working classes and other people less privileged. They are invisible to this crowd. And her type is pervasive in corporate America with its huge layers of management developed over 20 years of loose credit and push for token representation at the highest levels.
We’ve seen this manifest over three years and ruling-class types imposed lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates on the whole population without regard to the consequences and with full expectation that the food will continue to be delivered to their doorsteps no matter how many days, months, or years they stay at home and stay safe.
The working classes, meanwhile, were shoved out in front of the pathogen to make their assigned contribution to herd immunity so that the rich and privileged could preserve their clean state of being, making TikTok videos and issuing edicts from their safe spaces for two or even three years….

I love IPAs more flavor and ABV.
Good IPAs are good. But you can't pair them with food. The high alcohol content IPAs are meant to be drank by hipsters that would rather spend all of the money on beer, not food.

Maybe. But nothing beats an ice cold domestic after cutting the grass in August if you ask me.
They make lagers in other parts of the world too. Budweisers product is shite.
They make some really good lagers down in Mexico, for what it's worth.

They don’t drink beer like we used to, for sure. Unless you count fricking Busch apple, or, “Bapple” as the alpacas say

I'd be interested in seeing stats on alcohol consumption trends over time and by age group. I feel like young adults aren't boozing as much as they used to. Could be wrong
It's because you no longer have to pay 45 dollars for a quarter ounce of shitty weed that is mostly made of seeds and stems. Brick, dirt weed.
These days that money gets you twice as much, but medical grade sensomilia.
Marijuana is a much better product. The question has always been availability. Nobody hates the decriminalization more than the alcohol industry.

did they never recover from the tranny destruction?
The stock is still a littl lower than the day of the Optimus Prime debut.
It never made it to public whether it was Blackrock or Vanguard that made them do this. I did see Larry Fink discussing their strategy for forcing social engineering on formerly decent companies. I have never seen him explain why they were so intent on forcing the troon patrol on everybody.

The 18-35 group is drinking less ans you have a crap economy

One other thing, and it might be my age and group of friends, but alot of people i know and used to drink with barely ever drink anymore. Most of us are really into health amd fitness and hardly drink at all, and it doesn't seem like the younger kids drink like we used to either.

It's all fricking IPAs.
Easy to brew, and it's what hipsters like.
I realize there's bigger problems in the world, but yeah this pisses me off! I'm a stout guy. People say "oh, winter's coming. Your stouts will be in season--" NO. Majority of what I see on the shelf still tastes like aspirin dissolving on your tongue.

Dogfish Head 90 Min is ok. And I liked Uinta's Dubhe Black IPA.
Anyway, beer rant over.

Isn't beer just about the emptiest calories you can consume?
Posted on 12/11/25 at 11:26 pm to stout
Two things.
1) tranny gate sent customers to try other beers, which they like better
2) the youngins will drink 1 seltzer instead of 4 bud lights.

Maybe another proof point that California elections are rigged and stolen?
Absolutely. Matter of fact, I 100% expect that Trump's recently promised evidence to be released "soon" proving that the 2020 election was stolen will cite exactly that data point when it comes to California.
And when someone says, "You moron, the beer brewed in Fairfield was sold all over the entire western half of the country, not just in California," Trump will do what you're almost certainly about to do. He'll refuse to engage and just downvote.

I don't know how it would be worse than hard liquor in that regard.

I always called that "Mexican Army weed". Because who else has time to press shitty weed into bales?

The tranny lovers here told me that Bud Lite was selling great and the boycotts basically had no impact.
