America Officially Dethrones It’s Top-Selling Beer. All Hail The New King!
Daily Caller ^ | JULY 19, 2024 | KAY SMYTHE

Congratulations, America. We are wrapping up one the wildest, most historical weeks in modern history with a huge win: Bud Light is officially dethroned as our No. 1 beer.

All Hail the new King Modelo Especial!

After Bud Light’s leadership decided to utterly destroy their brand and careers by hiring Dylan Mulvaney — a biological male who dresses up as a horrendously insulting parody of a woman — as their brand ambassador, America bit back by deciding to boycott Bud’s bullsh*t. Modelo Especial is officially America’s top choice of beer, ending a decades-long rule by Bud, according to The Wall Street Journal.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times while we scrambled to find our replacement redneck brew. In the joys of dethroning Bud Light, something pretty tragic happened. Americans turned to Michelob Ultra. The beer has reportedly come in second behind Modelo Especial. I’m considering a deep-dive investigation into why so many of my fellow countrymen hate themselves enough to drink this stuff. But then again, I am partial to a White Claw, so perhaps we’re all trash?

But at least we’re not Bud Light trash anymore!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bud Light stops being a thing within the next year or so. There’ve been some solid attempts to rebrand, but the damage seems to have been done.

Well, corporate suicide and importing millions of illegals was bound to make a Mexican beer #1.

Isn’t Michelob the same company?

“In the joys of dethroning Bud Light, something pretty tragic happened. Americans turned to Michelob Ultra.”

Way to stick it in InBev, that’ll teach them.

The only thing that matters is what the trannies are drinking. You take that market demographic and...profit!

Modelo tastes just as bad as bud.

Same company maybe, different brewery, different division, different careers. When your career dependents on selling Bud Lite, I would advise against hiring Bud Mulvaney as your brand’s representative.

Better than Bud Light. ANY beer is better than Pervert Power Beer.

We’re destroying a brand NOT a company. This is a message to the Weirdo community.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"

The opening line in Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities. It's a very good fictional story about the French revolution. The peasant class uprises against the elites.

My favorite character is Madame DeFarge who knitted secret codes into her work. She was considered the antagonist. She wanted all the elites killed, guillotine.

Sure, but there are plenty of American beers that are better.

Companies confuse brand loyalty with inertia. People will buy the same thing they always have because it is cheap, undemanding and of acceptable quality.

When any of those things change they shift their buying habits.

And once they have found something else that is cheap, undemanding and of acceptable quality, they are not moving back to you because inertia has once again stepped in.

Bud Light is still cheap and of acceptable quality (according to my friends that drink beer) but they are now too demanding. They demanded that you be on board with their delusion that sex in humans is changeable rather then an immutable fact.

People said, "Nah."

Prefer wine to beer (pinot grigio), but I’m kinda stuck on Blue Moon Belgian white (unfiltered). Goes good with fried chicken (which I should no longer be eating!).

Nope.

Modelo is Constellation brand and Bud is In-Bev.

Different companies at least in the US.
