These cases of Busch Light were being unloaded from a Bud Light truck in Cross Plains Wisconsin, on May 17, 2023. Make of it what you will.

It is an interesting photograph for the culture wars.

Looks like Busch Beer, not Pud Light...

“Busch and Bud Light are made by the same company, distributed by the same distributors.”
That’s correct.

He has a trunk and he delivers beer doesn’t matter from which company


It says bud light ON the truck

Some one actually stole a bud light truck.

The white brick house behind the truck is at 2112 Water St. in the Google Maps pic. Looks kosher to me.

That can’t be the right Main And Water Streets because the building with the chimney is not there.

No house at intersection of Water and Main.

You think only bud light is transported in trucks with bud light painted on them? No..

They deliver many beers made by the parent company

Just like the Pepsi Truck also delivers mt dew.

This could also be a truck owned by a local beer distributor making his rounds and Bud Light gave them the trailer to use as part or their marketing budget or paid the distributor to put their name on it, just like any menus/signs in mom and pop places have a coke or Pepsi logo on their signs

Aren’t Busch and Bud Light made by the same company?

Busch is one of the many companies owned by InBev. Once of the acquired when they bought AB, you know Anheuser-BUSCH.

So no significance at all. No different than seeing a Coke truck unload Minute Maid.

I didn't see it right away.   The foreshortening in the photograph caused me to not look very far down the street.   Good eye you have.   I believe you really have been everywhere and done everything.

It’s legit.

Wander down water street and you’ll see the brick house that behind the truck

You are not taking into account and angle.

That’s absolute the spot in that photo

It is though.   I didn''t think it was either, but the actual house is a block away from the truck but the camera made it look like it should have been closer.

Independent distributors are paid for what goes on their truck for advertising or it’s in their contract if they are sole distributors.

They are nothing but mobile billboard putting subliminal images into peoples heads, if AB wanted an increase of Busch in certain areas it feels is lacking sales, they pay the independent distributors to paint their logo on the trailers and pay them monthly for doing it.

I do feel sorry for the distributors. They need to sign on with other companies.

I agree. Collateral damage in the culture war.

Nothing off, Busch is an AB-InBev brand just like Bud Light. Busch has been an AB product from the beginning. IIRC Busch was launched as an alternative to Coors when Coors started making noise about selling east of the Mississippi.
