What message is he going to send go AB Inbev. They are 100% of his business. As a captive distributor is is only allowed to sell AB InBev products.

Now do I think he’s just some innocent victim - no. He can whine and cry all he wants but when it comes down to it he is completely tied to AB InBev and their policies/marketing.

"We provide excellent customer service."


Gee, if he put it in a letter, it MUST be true!




Problem is, a 'can' is political. It's specific. And A-B's lack of awareness or ability to read the room is driving that dagger deep and deeper.



Good.

It sucks for him , but hat’s what the powers that be decided what to do.

My grandfather and father’s business was an independent distributor who sold Falstaff beer. When the new owner took over Falstaff he blew a bunch of smoke to all the distributors about the beer. Turns out the guy was full of shite, he eventually pissed off all the employees causing a major strike then he shut down almost all the breweries around the country.

They had to sell their rights of distribution to another company after being in business for over 40 years….

They had zero say so….

At one time, Falstaff was one of the largest beers in the country…

When they shut down the New Orleans brewery, they had security run people off the premises and weren’t even able to collect their personal belongings…

When they went in to restore the building and turn it into condos, they found stuff still dated back till the day it closed…

Didn't AB just meet with 400 of their distributors and they were pissed that AB didn't seem to accept they fricked up here or apologetic in some way?

But they will double down to the tranny union. I really do hope the companies digs in so bad they have toend up begging for forgiveness...white guilt over slave trade graveling levels

Beer distribution on this country is a scam, just look up the 3 Tier system, it’s how the big brewers Busch, Coors and Miller keep independent and craft brewers u dear their thumb. Sounds like this baw should cut ties with AB, but the way the system works he can’t.

It is a test to see how the local consumers respond. Please do not fall for it.

Trans are putting pressure on AB now to make a solid commitment to the trans community.

That guy can GFY

This went very far up the chain as they were very concerned with their 99 esg score and were told this would get them to 100.

They made the decision and bud light is a dead product and AB will suffer. Maybe distribute something else
