Never a good idea to piss on your customers.
Anyone else realize that the beer industry is just an oligopoly like the auto industry is?

AB CEO is dumb as a rock.
ABinBev has yet to learn a hard lesson, they are not the only beer brewer in the world..................
Coors Banquet ? I never even heard of that one. I used to drink Coors lite and Miller High Life but now I’m more sophisticated I switched to Sam
Adam’s
Sorry, I can’t help but laugh...people exchanging one crappy beer for another crappy beer. SMH.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the private conversations of the Anhauser Busch board of directors must be having right now about their CEO.......
Dear Budwiser:
Dylan Mulvaney represents a movement that’s offensive.
Here’s a question for YOU corporate executives - What’s the difference between a ‘flasher’ exposing himself at a school bus stop - and a man (pretending to be a woman) exposing himself in the girl’s bathroom at a school or sporting event?
The answer is NONE - there’s no difference.
So if you wouldn’t put a flasher opening his raincoat in front of children on a beer can - YOU shouldn’t put Mulvaney on a can either.
There folks aren’t civil rights leaders they’re perverts.

Calling ChatGPI. Some mindless, unimaginative scripts need writing.
When they blame “social media” they are parroting leftist talking points.
This company needs to go down—and down hard.
They are hopelessly out of touch with their about to be former customers.
So I’m talking to some of my blue collar neighbors yesterday and they said Steve stated he’s a Bud Lite man and will continue to drink it. They said ok, but only queers drink Bud Lite now.
Looks to me that customer loss will continue.
This news made my day!!!!
Gotta love it when people tell you that you didn’t see what you definitely did see.
Good news for the good guys/gals in Pottsville.
Its kind of amazing that this CEO has not seen Hollyweird’s depiction of crisis management from the many trashy dramas put out.
If he had, he would know that public relations is not really about donating an Xray machine to a children’s hospital. That is charity.
Public relations is about giving your customers, shareholders and employees the confidence that the management of the company is in good hands and that the objectives of those three groups are being balanced, not with social justice but with the mission of the success of a profit making business.
No decent, rational person wants to be seen drinking a Bud Light or sit near someone who is drinking it. Suspect sales have declined far more than the 25% they are reporting.
maybe I’m a contrarian, but I see these numbers as meaningful but nowhere near catastrophic. And their stock (more easily manipulated) has hardly moved.
The pain needs to be much more severe in my opinion. Hoping for that!
If beer were the type of product that people only bought occasionally, Anheuser-Busch might be able to wait this out and hope the controversy eventually dies down. But it won’t. It’s the type of product their customer base buys on a recurring basis, and there are plenty of other brands they can buy instead. If you’re out with your buddies in a bar or club, you’re not going to order a Bud Light knowing you’ll be the object of ridicule if you do. If you invite the guys over to watch a game, you’re not going to offer them a Bud Light. Anheuser-Busch badly miscalculated on this one.
