All true and why we call it boat beer here during the summer.

IPAs are just to heavy out in the heat all day.

But, my boat will be bud light free this summer.

Yuengling light is better anyway and not that much more.

Ah - Real Men of Genius. I guess beer companies all over America will be lining up to sponsor a local dart league. I mean the payoff on that sponsorship must be huge.

I've got some new for you, Corona is also owned by Anheuser

Sounds like the brilliant Harvard and Wharton School of Business alum decided to expedite the product’s demise and euthanize it.

Come on guys. If you're going to do a boycott of a product, you gotta figure out what alternatives are owned by the same company and not buy those too.

I don't typically by Bud Light but I keep Mic Ultra around as my "cheap" drinking beer. Well Michelob is owed by AB so I'll take that money out of their pockets by going somewhere else.

I would be embarrassed to be drinking bud lite at this point. People are going to assume you are a tranny sympathizer.

Don’t think so.

If you are drinking bud light, people will assume you are queer.

Is the boycott going to be all AB Inbev brands or just Bud Light?

Good marketing is identifying where things are going and looking to pull people in who already want to buy your product.

Bad marketing is making an expensive push of your product in a way that alienates your current core audience, especially if the new buyers coming in aren’t large enough to replace them.


This is an example of a “push” that will have major repercussions for the brand well after this dumbfrick moves to another brand or industry.

Probably Bud Light and the other Bud brands as collateral damage.

Having to figure out what InBev owns vs what they don’t gets to be a hassle.


That being said, the damage to the Budweiser brand in general and the Bud Light brand in particular will represent huge losses to InBev.

Why can’t beer just identify as beer.
No persons on the bottle, no rainbows, and no picking sides.

Beer needs to be just beer!

Let's see what happens at Alex Box stadium this weekend. Bud Light is everywhere and the most convenient to purchase. Better beer is at the concessions behind the home plate seats. Few are going to walk those extra steps for their principles.

Is this beating considered 80's style gay bashing?

Denis Leary had a routine on this 20+ years ago.

“This isn’t a bar. This is a microbrewery.”

“Oh really, a-hole… why don’t you go into the back and MICRObrew me up a batch of fricking Budweiser!”

“I also didn’t know that getting beer-flavored beer was going to be a problem. Who knew?!?”

Ok. Seems the list posted a week ago was incorrect and dated.

Corona is not listed as a brand on the AB website.

I feel like it's morally outrageous for Bud Light to appeal to the transphobic sensibilities of their largely white male target audience when they could be making AmeriKKKa safe for the vastly morally superior gender-fluid peoples. I'm literally shaking in my pink undergarments as I type this. Does anybody have a Barbara Streisand album on vinyl I might borrow to soothe myself?
