That combined with AB brass trying to pretend this is a nothing burger is pissing people off.

He's going to need a sedative to deal with the abysmal sales for Memorial Day.

Sorry Stevo, your pandering won’t work this time. Trying to play the poor little guy in the middle won’t fly.

Don’t expect us to be the side that gives. Go tell your AB overlords they fricked up and have people in the local community hurting.

Not up to middle America to bail you out anymore

Excellent point!!! Where was Stevie six weeks ago??

Probably sitting back laughing thinking this shite would blow over in a week.

frickers like Little Stevie is the reason we have to deal with shite like this. They sit on the sidelines until it hits them in their wallet.

Screw you Stevie and your piss water tranny fluid

damn they really stepped in shite didn't they? lol

When you have distributors making their own statements its BAD. I really hope this sets a precedent. We are sick of this shite being displayed daily.

I'm done taking pleasure in this boycott as long as Miller Lite and Coors Light sales increase. They hate you even more than Bud Light does:



Did you know that women actually invented beer and everything else worthwhile?

Bud Light still hasn't announced anything either way. They just say it's unfortunate. They took a crap right out in the open and instead of claiming it and cleaning it up and apologizinf they just say it was unfortunate.

Politicians and corporations are so trained in non answers that I don't think they could articulate an opinion if they even had one.

The truth is, you are still promoting the company line:

quote:

“There was one single can made,” Tatum said in the ad. “It was not for sale and wasn’t properly approved. As a result, the Bud Light brand has new leadership.” Tatum continued: “Dylan Mulvaney is not under contract with Bud Light.”

Friends with whom?

Men that wear girls swimsuits that “tuck” from Target?

I’m not sure that is a good strategy.

I get that there is many employees at AB and did not support this and would not support it now. But, the damage is now done. Don't bring business into politics. It's that simple.

Yeah, the Bama Budweiser guy should honestly pressure his exalted leadership at the very top to pursue litigation against the people who supposedly "acted on their own without approval" to get some recompense for the losses that will never be recovered. Bud Light will never recover.

People like this man have been fed a story by the Anheuser Busch brass. He deserves to know if that story is truth or if he's being lied to by his bosses. Discovery would reveal the truth.

We all know that this won't make it into a courtroom though, because AB knows they put the stamp of approval on it, and they have billions at stake in keeping that little secret quiet.

Apparently, there aren't as many alphabet soup people drinking 'Queer Light' as they thought they'd gain, and lost a shitload of middle class, hard working, American drinkers by insulting them.

They figured their "Queer Light" ad and spokesIT would bring in more of the alphabet soup drinkers, thereby 'increasing' revenues.

Bawahahahaha. Good people put their money where their mouths are, and took their mouths somewhere else.

NEVER AB Drinkers UNITE!. Make AB losses a MAJOR wake-up call for EVERY OTHER business that might consider a similar move!!!

I have little sympathy. By design, these distributors have ZERO competition in the geographic region assigned to them by AB.

Weak statement

Bud Light distributor , who now has millions of dollars in dead stock inventory that will soon expire with no financial help from AB, blasts Anheuser-Busch over Dylan Mulvaney: ‘We do not support this’

ETA
As others have said, having a beer distributorship is essentially a license to print money. I’m sure when the distributors went to Anheuser-Busch and said, “what are you gonna do”, Anheuser-Busch simply looked them in the eye and said , “you’re more than welcome to turn back in your license”. To which they just grinned and went on their merry way

I stopped in a convenience store this morning and a man in a Bud Light polo was there with a clipboard counting inventory.

I asked him "How bad is it?" His reply was "Ive been working for Southern Beverage for 20 years and Ive never seen anything like it. Ive got a family to feed and they have no idea what they have done"

Its tough. Hate it for the local baws that have nothing to do with it. The best part of all of this is that it has made Mulvaney toxic. His 15 minutes are up.

A friend of mine married into an AB distributer family in NC. Her husband and his entire family are big time dems (although shes a republican). I hope they are feeling the pain and she is holding back on any sexy times until they renounce their evil ways.
