Bud Light’s sales slump has seemingly started to impact other beverages under the Anheuser-Busch brand, according to reports.
Sales of Bud Light have fallen 23.4% compared to this time a year ago, according to The New York Post. The brand experienced a 21.4% drop in sales the week before, according to Bump Williams Data. Bud Light in-store sales have also reportedly dropped by over 26% in the week that ended April 22.
The backlash against Anheuser-Busch seems to be affecting beers outside of Bud Light.
Michelob Ultra, another successful beer brand under Anheuser-Busch, has seen their sales numbers erode in recent weeks, falling by 4.4%, according to Bump Williams Data.
Bump Williams claims that the company’s less prominent beer brands are also enduring sales slumps. Natural Light and Busch Light have both seen their sales numbers drop amid the Dylan Mulvaney backlash. Natural Light sales have declined 5.2% and Busch Light sales have declined 1.8%, according to Bump Williams.
Bud Light and Budweiser are the only beers in the U.S. top 10 that have dropped in sales, according to the New York Post.
“If Bud Light doesn’t fix its trend by the end of this month, it will continue to lose market share because it will lose Memorial Day. That kicks off the summer season,” Williams told New York Post, “There has to be a sense of urgency for InBev to correct these trends.”
Budweiser rivals have seen their sales numbers pickup amid the ongoing backlash after partnering with the transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Miller Lite and Coors Light have picked up in sales, according to Beer Business Daily.
Good for you!
LOL.
I always think of Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire when I hear that song. What a talented man he was!
Dang! I had a Spaten Munich when I was in Germany last month. It was damn fine.
I also liked Kokanee in the same vein that some people used to like Bud Light, a nice easy-drinking beer for summer.
Oh well, sacrifices need to be made.
“Knowles Dissects Bud Light Parent Company’s Leftist Agenda, Ties To WEF: Mulvaney Partnership ‘Least Of Our Problems’”
“Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney was dismissed by Anheuser-Busch’s CEO as a one-off and nothing more, but Daily Wire host Michael Knowles is skeptical.
In a tweet thread Monday, Knowles pointed out that Bud Light’s European parent company AB InBev is pushing a wide-ranging LGBTQ and DEI agenda. AB InBev’s 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report shows that the company is openly going along with the World Economic Forum (WEF) by promoting leftist agenda items ranging from climate change and censorship to diversity goals and radical gender theory. “
It’s such a long list, we are bound to miss a lesser known brand every now and again, especially when we travel. I’m getting a good education on how big a conglomerate AB-InBev is. They’ve really stepped in it, big time. Let’s take down this giant.
"The Dixie Chicks" genius would probably advise them to drop the word "Bud" from "Bud Light".
"Yeah, just call it Light. Put the tranny on every 32-beer suitcase."
Way back when I drank beer, I liked both Becks and St. Pauli Girl. Both German, both AB InBev products.
Variety the spice of life
I’m grinning a mile wide and my first thought was “Hurrah! Good for you!”
If only he had been a little more outgoing
Thank you. I’m spreading the word as best as I can in my little sphere.
But they won’t do it!..................
Don't be so sure of that.
They just might be a group of people who are simply educated BEYOND their own intelligence.
There seems to be an abundance of that in today's world.
