She’s gone back and forth between making her own and buying pre-made.

Best to catch flies with honey! Offer to buy them another beer not from Transheuser Busch, a nice Yingling Traditional for example.

I think she knew - I think she didn't give a damn...

You don't have to wonder. She said that straight out.

She’s not the first woman who believed they could change their men.

The 19th Amendment is looking like a failed experiment at this point.

When we didn’t find Yuengling, we’d buy Red Dog..............

Heinerscheid’s initial statement was that “people want their brands to stand for something”, a premise that appears to be completely untested and contraindicated by the immediate real-world results. To politically obsessed people politics is life and they hold people who don’t think that way in contempt, using such phrases as Heinerscheid used to describe them: “fratty and out of touch,” a comment so ill-timed it almost defies parody. Move over, New Coke, what we have here is a new poster child for marketing ineptitude.

If they try Yuengling they will never drink Bud again. I am an IPA man and Yuengling is the only light beer I will drink.

When I'm drinking light, I usually grab a Shiner

$14.97 for a 36 pack? I haven’t bought beer in a long time (bourbon is my usual poison), but that looks like what I would expect most retailers would be paying for it.

What do I know? I wouldn’t drink that toilet water if it was free.

“Friends Don’t Let Friends Drink Light Beer”

High school friend I haven’t seen in 25 years was in town and brought a couple of bottles of Russian style stout from a US microbrewery. *That* was real beer.

She apparently considered her job to be her personal Social Experimentation Platform.

Remember, liberals speak only to other liberals. THEY LIVE AND BREATHE IN AN ECHO CHAMBER. So everything they think is reinforced over and over again.

That being said, she and her coworkers thought that this was an excellent idea and would make them Social Justice Warriors, and get accolades from all their circle of lefty friends.

Then it blew up in their faces.

What surprises me is that no one above her paygrade was watching over her shoulder and put the kibosh on this! .....................

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! There is ZERO marketing qualitative data to support Heinerscheid’s initiative. So, just like Disney, Hershey’s or Mars, the Anheuser-Busch/InBev product is used as a political platform. The consumer or audience be damned, as the MESSAGE trumps everything. Sure, the audience initially rejects lgtbtqmouse messaging, but just like Hitler’s big lie, if you saturate it and have the leftist propaganda media and Marxist politicians support it, resistance will eventually wear down. You kill it by firing the message creators and (here’s the big one) apologize to your audience. Good luck with that last one.

***You cant just get the
taste out of Your mouth!!!***

Back in 1976 I got a Coors that was so bad I had to drink two or three OLYMPIAs (the Real Stuff made with Tumwater) to get the taste out of my mouth.

It's because the people who created the product, nurtured it and build the companies retired or died
and now the "GOT TO THE TOP BUT NOT BY MERIT' posers have taken over.

What they did not anticipate was that there are a lot of other “light” beers on the market that men can bring home for their women to drink.

Having a queer dressed up like a 14 year old girl telling grown men what kind of beer to drink was a good idea?
= = =

Should have the 14 yo queer using reverse psychology -

“What ever you men do, DO NOT drink Bud Light!”

A local Methodist church here just disassociated from the governing body. It cost the congregation $500,000.
= = =

Who lost the 1/2 mill?

The governing body, or the local church?
