They're still brewing just as many cans as before. It's just that the new cans are just a tad smaller.

CLAIM: Anheuser-Busch is closing half of its U.S. breweries following backlash over a Bud Light marketing initiative. AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The claim stems from a website that publishes satirical content. No such widespread brewery closure has been announced by Anheuser-Busch.
THE FACTS: Blog posts claiming that Bud Light’s parent company is closing half of its breweries in the U.S. have spread widely across social media in recent days, following the brand’s partnership with a transgender influencer and subsequent calls for boycotts by some prominent conservatives.

But the claim is fabricated. It was first published by a website that is part of a network of websites called America’s Last Line of Defense, which publish satirical content that is frequently mistaken as real. The website’s about page states: “Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real.”

Sounds like the usual MSM to me.
Were the closures true. Eff SB and everything associated with every woke company.
More like...we got warehouses full of Bud and no buyers...
keep brewing
keep advertising
keep shipping
it just wont sell
So six million gallons of Bud Light continue to be manufactured and goes where? Down the floor drains to wastewater treatment? My local Kroger has had the distribution company rep stop delivering. There is nowhere to put it! It already block half the aisle. Fire inspectors might take issue with the store soon. Blocking aisles is a big no-no.
(Six million gallons a day)
Sorry, AssPress, your pathetic attempt at victimizing Bud/AB, isn’t going to help.
They dug their own hole, they can crawl right in it.
“Satirical Post....”
Since they know it was satirical why the heck are they “fact-checking”?
AB probably paid them to
Like I said in a thread up above: If you survive the abortion, the first thing the left kills is your sense of humor. The next thing to go is the ability to grasp irony and satire.
Even when they use the word SATIRE in the title, it is obvious that the AP is unable to grasp what Satire actually means.
Charity beer. Nice.
I used to get off spec food production to feed the Pigs and make interesting whiskey. A big oatmeal manufacturing plant. The Pigs would sing for a dump truck load of off spec tater tots or hash browns. They could smell the truck coming. Nobody liked grits though. Go figure? Not even the chickens. A lot of distillers grains after cooking the mash too. Everyone loved them.
Note to the Associated Press "Fact Checkers": This is not satire; It is reporting the absolute truth. (A concept your organization is unfamiliar with.)
The associated presstitutes has to fact check a known satire site for publishing satire? I guess FAKE NEWS really is FAKE NEWS
If it keeps up, that will become the result. May be lower, may even be higher.
A paper tiger swallows a strawman.
