Garth Brooks Blasted For Calling People Who Are Boycotting Bud Light “A**holes”

Garth may have thought he was staying out of the Bud Light controversy. But it looks like he just threw himself in the middle of it.

Of course by now everybody’s familiar with the controversy and backlash surrounding Bud Light’s decision to partner with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a few months ago. The company has since faced boycotts that have caused billions of dollars in losses, and even threaten the beer’s place at the top of the year-end list of best selling beers.

And Garth Brooks, who has a new bar coming to Nashville soon, weighed in this week on some of his fellow bar owners like John Rich and Kid Rock, who have blasted Bud Light – with Rich even removing it from his lower Broadway bar, Redneck Riviera.

In a Q&A session as part of Billboard’s Country Live in Conversation, Garth explained that his bar would not be removing Bud Light from the menu – and appeared to take a shot at those boycotting the iconic beer brand:

“Yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make.

If you come into this house, love one another. If you’re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”

He continued by reiterating that he hopes his bar helps make Broadway “a country music mall” as opposed to a zoo (although if you’ve been to Broadway lately, you know that it might be too late for that).

“In my existence, one a**hole can turn the whole tide down there. My thing is, let’s create a place that you feel safe in.”

Well Garth’s comments (which were first reported right here on Whiskey Riff) haven’t gone over well on Twitter, with those who support the boycott taking offense at Garth seemingly calling them “a**holes.”

Brooks doesn’t even know what country music is. Don’t expect him to understand anything else. Just ignore the POS.

More like all hat, all “act”, latency boy-— with an OIL family trust worth millions to make him an “artist”. Full of shite from the very start, and how about that wife of his?
And frankly a no talent BORE. One look at the empty facial affect of this clown is enough.

These people are just cowards. They know where their industry stands on this and they’re too scared of being cancelled. If your wisdom is derived from “love is love” you’re moron.

Not much under the hat either.

I guess now I’m “boycotting” Garth Brooks AND Bud Light.

IOW, I will continue as before.

Broadway in N’ville has always been a zoo. From the days of Ernest Tubb. A kaleidoscope of Americana from crass to sublime. This joker’s “bar” will not be any kind of addition that wasn’t already there. Hence his PR ploy to work a “constituency”. These people are already free- they have civil unions, property transfer- the works. What they will never have is acceptance as any kind of normal- unless they force us. And they can’t force us.

Garth couldn’t make it as a rock act so he took on the country/cowboy persona and went that route. I know a former roommate of his from the early days who gave me the lowdown. Rest is history.

NOT possible. He cannot have enough room to inventory EVERY brand of beer, thus he HAS made a choice.

He always struck me as a bit … festive.

So... Garth Brooks correctly used a term about an anus when referencing Bud Light.

Garth Brooks not only needs to go have intercourse with himself, he needs to go have intercourse with Dylan Mulvaney as well.

Garth Brooks Mr friends in low places, another lefty liberal artist shoved into the country Genre to push DEI amongst the redneck deplorables. How was that Biden Inauguration Garth? You can go shove it along with Taylor Swift, Tim Mcgraw, Faith Hill, Eric Church, The Dixie Chicks and all you other liberal country wannabes.

Garth Brooks 2021.jpg

Garth performing at Sleepy Joes inauguration.

His fat face indicates that Bud Light Next, the beer without carbs is likely one of the staples of his lefty diet. But he has been an extreme lefty for his entire career. If you want to make it in the USA's "entertainment industry" it is almost a requirement.

"He's a huge supporter of gay rights and marriage equality."

"Brooks' half sister Betsy Smittle who sadly passed away was a lesbian and he credits her with his views on gay rights and marriage equality. In 2000, he appeared at Equality Rights benefit concert for Gay Rights and sang a duet with George Michael."

His “Chris Gaines” 90’s alter ego had on a ton of makeup and a dye job—putting a dress on doesn’t seem to be a much of stretch here...

Remember when he threw hissy fits about people buying his music on used cds at resale stores rather than buying brand new cds from the record store? Drama queen.
