'The horse has already bolted!' Budweiser is slammed for back-to-basics patriotic Clydesdale ad released two weeks after Bud Light debacle - and following CEO's lukewarm apology

Budweiser has released a patriotic new ad featuring its iconic Clydesdale horses just two weeks after Dylan Mulvaney's Bud Light deal sparked a huge backlash, but the public is not biting the bit.

The one-minute spot was released on social media Friday and features shots of the iconic Clydesdales galloping across the country, in open fields, and past landmarks including the Lincoln Memorial and the New York City skyline.

A deep-voiced narrator says that Budweiser is 'a story bigger than beer' as the horses race across the screen.

'This is the story of the American spirit,' he says.

The ad for the beer - which like Bud Light is also owned by Anheuser-Busch appears to be a pivot to return to traditional values for the brand which historically appeals to blue-collar American workers.

This is in stark difference to Bud Light's doomed partnership with trans influencer Mulvaney - which ended in a lukewarm apology from the firm's CEO.

However, online, users slammed the ad as a pathetic attempt to right the ship that was permanently sent in the wrong direction with the Mulvaney partnership.

'My favorite advertisement by a mile was the Clydesdales after 9/11. It was absolute perfection. After your embrace of the trans agenda, glorifying a man looking for his 15 mins of fame by mocking women. I will never buy, drink or serve your beer again,' wrote one user.

'Is the horse trans now?' wrote radio host Dan O'Donnell.

'Nope, you guys destroyed your own base and market because you had to go woke. I'll never drink any of your products again,' wrote Brandon Saario.

'Lol, hard pivot huh?' wrote Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian Party.

Too late. "Commentator Philip Holloway wrote: 'Don't look now Anheuser Busch and Budweiser but the Clydesdale has already left the barn. The train has sailed, the ship has left the station.' "

I do not drink, but I would not want anything to happen to the Clydesdales because AB was so stupid as to not use them in the first place.

Are there any 'mares" in the troop?

I wouldn't be surprised if they sewn testicles on.

I did not see an apology. Too little too late.

“We’re the Clydesdales wearing bras?”

No, but I understand that two of the Clydesdales went missing before the latest shoot. Wranglers found them dead in their stalls. Suicide. They just could not take the embarassment.

Fire the VP, CEO quits, Bud is brought under private US ownership and Musk apologizes on Bud’s behalf.

BUD share prices peaked in 2016 at $131 and has been on a downward trend since then. BUD is currently trading at $64.

As Steve Bannon says: “We are hearing the primal scream of a dying regime”.

BUD appears to want to hasten its demise by promoting the trans agenda.

BUD reminds me of Bed Bath Beyond who was in financial trouble and then put the nail in their coffin by banning MY PILLOW from their stores.
