The main website of Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch went offline for several hours on Wednesday, days after musician Kid Rock publicly feuded with the brewery for tapping a transgender influencer as a brand spokesperson.
The outage persisted for more than two hours, with the company's main website, Anheuser-Busch.com, displaying a message reading: 'The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred'.
The website seemed to resume functioning shortly before 4.30pm ET. The outage appeared to affect only the Anheuser-Busch site, while websites for the brewery's brands such as Bud Light and Busch Light remained functional.
As well, the website for AB InBev, the Belgian multinational conglomerate that owns St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch, was also working normally. AB InBev did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Emails to Anheuser-Busch requesting comment were not immediately returned, and the company's phone message system directed inquiries to the website.
It was not immediately clear whether the site outage was due to routine technical issues, or could possibly be the result of a malicious attack.
However, the outage persisted for well over two hours. One security researcher, speaking anonymously to share speculation, said the outage might have been caused by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, a temporary assault that knocks an internet service offline by flooding it with spam traffic.
DDoS attacks are relatively primitive and easy to carry out, and usually do not cause lasting damage. Most large companies and websites are well-protected against such attacks.
However, there was no immediate evidence that the outage was caused by malicious activity targeting the brewery.
The outage came several days after Bud Light's partnership with trans content creator Dylan Mulvaney drew high-profile backlash.

It’s a transsite.
Good point.
Noosecar is just as WOKE as Anheuser Busch since Brian France inherited the reins.
They will never apoligize.
The executives will be rewarded because they did their job well. These companies aren't going broke because they went woke; they're going woke because they're already going broke.
Bud Light in particular has been in significant decline since at least 2017. Instead of carrying a declining product line, the board decides it's time to cash out in a variation of the classic "pump and dump" scheme. Put out an outrageous promotion for a brand that they want to unload or kill off anyway, stir up a bunch of controversy to make some money all at once, and walk away from it.
It's intentionally hiding stock fraud behind "best intentions" in the name of "diversity and being inclusive". If anyone points out what they did, insist the accusers are racist, haters, misogynists, transphobic, or whatnot.

I don’t watch it, never did so I would not know.
Bud “Light in the Loafers”
