Yuck.

Sloppy seconds.

[albie]

They spoke on woke now the blokes are going broke!!! Hahahahahahasnorthahaha. (Hey. That’s funny stuff right there)

[Bigg Red]

Die, Anheuser-Busch. Die quickly.

[T.B. Yoits]

InBev / Budweiser is determined to avoid the optics of retailers having to dump beer when it expires.

[ALPAPilot]

They’re down almost $10 per share.

That’s the hit the CEO hates the most.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

It is normal for beer past it expiration to be bought back. The missing info would be how much is being bought back, its usually a small % which is what buyers and estimators model out.

[CodeJockey]

I went to an air show this past weekend and AB did not even have a beer tent.

[Dilbert San Diego]

That’s what I thought. I figured there was some ongoing procedure in the supply chain system, to return expired merchandise.

[13foxtrot]

Not a boycott. The AB brands are dead.

[Leep]

This is why you avoid politics.. especially stupid if you are trying to sell beer.

It’s the old adage:

First generation builds it
Second generation grows it
Third generation lives high on it
Fouth generation and beyond destroy it or sell it

Sort of like that

[Vigilanteman]

Maybe. Or maybe they just want to be sure they keep SOME of their customers.

Personally, I think the best thing they can do is pull it all off the market, but some little craft brand and remarket under that name.

[Reno89519]

I’ve got to go buy me a case with one of those coupons before the weekend to use for target practice. Didn’t see any of the store the other day. Will keep checking.

[Vigilanteman]

butbuy some little craft brand . . .

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

There are some very serious Brands there. They darn well better hope that this boycott does not spread to other brands. Me, I drink about 1/50th the amount of beer I used to, but I enjoyed Stella, Corona, Pacifico, Modelo
Nothimg i would sacrifice a limb over, but those are all decent beers on the light side.

[zeugma]

Those “20%” numbers look really suspicious to me. It’s much more than that, if my own observations are any guide.

[blackdog]

Budweiser can certainly make the case for these losses simply due to regulatory requirements. They will use their political lobbyists to recover the harm done in regulatory compliance. (Meaning a taxpayer funded compensation for losses)

In fact, that is the case.

[Red Badger]

I think that is one month.

The End of June Quarterly will tell the tale..................
