Our Responsibility To America (Anheuser-Busch Press Release)
Anheuser-Busch ^ | April 14, 2023 | Brendan Whitworth (Anheuser-Busch CEO)

Posted on 04/14/2023 12:39:19 PM PDT by House Atreides

As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew.

We’re honored to be part of the fabric of this country. Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues. We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.

We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.

My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.

I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others.

Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation.

Brendan Whitworth

CEO, Anheuser-Busch

So basically the statement can be translated as...

“I am the CEO of AB, we will continue to make beer”

I haven't drank any Anheuser-Busch swill in over 30 years.
I don't see how I can boycott them any moreso than I already am.

You can always mock anyone you see drinking the girl man beer.

I don’t see any information on the web but it is typical of CIA to use corporations as fronts for their covert operations.

This guy would be perfectly placed to help them get it done.

Some folks may be fooled by the “international” tasking of the CIA but the Deep State is a club that does not get concerned with such niceties when it comes to covert (special access) operations. They just don’t allow the lawyers into the room when doing the dirty.

No! Kamala’s speech writers wrote it for him! Masters of ‘word salad.’

True.
But mocking drunk guys is a good way to start a fistfight.

Just sayin'.

Wouldn't have been simpler for him to say:

"We don't care what you think, and figure you rubes will go back to buying our product."

OK, so I see you finally figured out the “Wow - we really screwed the pooch here!” part. So when can we expect the “Now here’s how we’re gonna fix this fluster-cuck” part?

(I’m not holding my breath)

Obviously their responsibility has as #1 priority “” DEI””!

Excellent idea! Budweiser wants to bring the rednecks back into the fold, market the “Let’s Go Brandon” beer.

This apology just states that when the time is right they will push this agenda on their customers

I’m guessing Brenden talked with Joe, and that Joe said he’ll bail AB in.Bev out if they keep bleeding money. AB-In.Bev…too big to fail.

As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew.

Wrong, your job is to ensure that you provide a consistent quality product and to keep your customers. Customers feeling proud of your beer is a really strange thing. Maybe this is 7th or 8th on the list but certainly not first.

We’re honored to be part of the fabric of this country.

Perhaps you could elaborate a bit on what this means.

Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues.

It seems that this should be on your mind prior to doing stupid things. You have already chosen to make a bunch of freaks and communists in this country happy at the expense of all those people above.

We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.

Then why have an advertising campaign which craps on all of this.....Of course you offer no explanation or express your apology in any way that demonstrates just how horribly you treated your customers and employees.

We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.

What a lie. You deliberately joined a discussion which divides and deliberately chose the side which can only be interpreted as having contempt for your customers and employees

My time serving this country

So now you have made this about you. How awesome of you.

taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another.

That is rather difficult to see. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.

You have already destroyed it. Your sincerity can only be demonstrated by resigning.

I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others.

If you care about the countries future then maybe a word or two about how the transgender movement is destroying children and ripping apart families. Anything to say ?

Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation.

Continue to? What a load of crap. You cannot even admit that you had a little pause in your stewardship over this company.

Brendan Whitworth

Loser CEO, Anheuser-Busch

Go easy on the guy. Apparently, he's deaf, with a learning disability.

What he's saying: "I take Pride in my beer, so you should be like me: drink my beer with Pride.

"Please clap."

That’s pretty much how I read it.

Also, the fact they put out this waste of a focus-group-generated-non-apology makes me feel they are scared, but still aren’t sure what direction to take.

We’ll, if you don’t have a dead son who served in Iraq, or a house that burned down, or a dead wife “from a drunk driver,” you go with what you’ve got. But you’ve got a lot of dang nerve trying to blame beer drinkers for the results of your folly!

Great post. Please send to AB, just like that. Brenden needs to hear this.
