I just don’t see a path where they can tell their former customers they are sorry for this stupid stunt without getting the Sammy Tiger Klan (tranny supporters) all upset.

We are sorry for dragging tranny mental illness into our marketing strategy isn’t going to fly.

Everywhere I go bud light is fully stocked or almost fully stocked. It’s affecting them.

I just don’t see how they can get out of this keeping both sides happy.

It’s actually glorious that they backed themselves into this mental illness corner with no way out.

You knew they were completely screwed the moment The View started championing them and when the most left wing wackos in congress decided to pose in a “beer drinking” pic all holding them.

It’s one of the most fascinatingly wonderful marketing/corporate decision disasters I’ve ever seen.

They can simply let time pass and all the light and ultra drinkers will return. It's not as if they'll stand on principles for long, look at the NFL viewership.

The NFL is the only product of it's kind, dumb arse. There are plenty of light beer options out there.

Maybe. But two bud light guys I know have switched to MILLER light and coors light.

Their taste buds will acclimate.

If you love football there is no substitute you can acclimate to on Sundays in the fall.

As I said, they won't stand on principles if it's too difficult. We'll see about Bud Light over the next few months. They'll put out some stupid commercial as per their history and the boycotters will flock back if they hadn't returned already.

Here is what I know. AB wasn't on the Tranny radar. Some stupid unta bag had a Groomer idea in a world where it simply wasn't an issue.

From everything I've read, their sales will continue to plummet until they realize there are only two genders, come to grips that only men have balls, and apologize.

The Left is a maddening world. I'm starting to understand why the mentally ill gravitate there. Pretending to be a man is celebrated while dressing as a minority will get you canceled.

People may return over time, but this marketing person's main job was to help grow the business, not lose business. There's no telling how much Budweiser will have to pay to fix their image now. At the end of the day Budweiser lost a lot of revenue and their reputation, and the pain of this event will still hurt even if they eventually get their sales back within the next 2 years.

You should have heard the crowd at the Stars playoff game last night when they showed a Budweiser spot on the jumbotron as a title sponsor. It was obvious they were not appreciative. All they serve in the AAC is AB products. Saw a few Ultras being purchased here and there but almost zero Bud Lights. I personally opted for tequila.

If you care about them that is the problem.

It reminds me of the Dixie Chicks. They forgot who their base audience was.

Once you pull the trigger it’s over.

You don't have principles, if you don't hold them. I've never been a big beer drinker, but every summer I buy a case or two of Rolling Rock for when it's Africa hot. This year, I will buy Yuengling if it's available, probably Sam Adams if it's not. I haven't watched an NFL game in 5-6 years now, and I will never buy or drink another AB product, even if they give it away. The fact that the woke bitch that got them into this is still employed at AB tells you all you need to know about their hopes of recovering from this.

This isn't good enough. If you want to make a point you keep up a boycott for the foreseeable future.

I was at a concert at Enmarket Arena in Savannah last night and they were almost exclusively serving AB products, though after some walking around I found a vendor with Miller Lite. It will be interesting to see what folks do in places with only AB options. I’m guessing they’ll bite the pillow and buy AB instead of not having any beer.
