Country music legend Travis Tritt announced Wednesday that he is dropping all Anheuser-Busch products from his tour.
"I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same," Tritt revealed on Twitter.
According to Tritt, other country music artists are taking the same action as he is, but they aren't announcing it publicly "for fear of being ridiculed and cancelled." But Tritt declared, "I have no such fear."
Tritt even offered a suggestion as to why Anheuser-Busch felt it was a good idea to sponsor Mulvaney: because the company is now owned by a European company.
"In full disclosure, I was on a tour sponsored by Budweiser in the 90’s. That was when Anheuser-Busch was American owned," he said. "A great American company that later sold out to the Europeans and became unrecognizable to the American consumer. Such a shame."
The announcement comes after Bud Light sponsored trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, igniting a firestorm of controversy resulting in a mass boycott of Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch. The company not only sponsored Mulvaney, but celebrated his gender transition with custom packs of beer to mark his "365 Days of Girlhood."
The company that owns Bud Light is officially known as Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV; it is based in Belgium. The company boasts more than 600 beer brands in its portfolio across 150 countries. Anheuser-Busch was purchased by InBev in 2008.

I have hated Tritt since he poured a beer on my feet back in the early 90’s. I take it all back now.

Never developed a taste for beer so they haven’t had and won’t get any money from me.
Imagine the confusion at the hot-rod shop. Hey, Jim, hand me that bottle of tranny fluid. No, not the Clydesdale piss-water, the ATF.
“I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider”
Translation: he’s going to stop asking people to buy Bud Light for him with their money.
At least they've still got their nuts.
ALL who have TRUE deep courage are rough around the edges, Trump, Kid Rock, Travis Tritt they have the courage to NOT give a shit what ANYONE thinks about them!! I LOVE Kid Rock and he is VERY rough around the edges!!!
New age, new warfare strategies- buy a company, create a civil war, take over and assimilate. Do Europeans care as much? How many companies have been destroyed and what has it done to our economy? I don’t think it takes a genius, and we should have kicked the U.N. out years ago.
Remember when this song was ‘just a joke’. Little did we know...

Kudos to Travis. I’ve always been a Travis Tritt fan.
Deschutes Brewery is still owned be Deschutes Brewery, Bend Oregon. Unlike 10 Barrell which sold to AB about 10 years ago.
A little TROUBLE for Bud Light.
Anheuser-Busch bows to the Pervocracy. The question is why do this if they knew it would cause a large backlash. My guess is they thought there would be a bigger backlash for NOT doing it.
Funny, but so damned true. Now, they also have implants!
Texas bourbon?!? Eeeeew! I’ll drink that the next time I eat some Kentucky chili!
(BTW, just got back home from several days in Terlingua, the town that invented the chili cook-off)
So this Travis Tritt guy DOESNT CARE about people who want to become owls?
He’s dissing the whole human-trans owl movement.
Another product…..
Busch Gardens “The Old Country” in Williamsburg, VA
Busch Gardens “The Dark Continent” in Tampa, FL
Had season tickets from the day they opened until we left Virginia Beach.
I loved this place. Always visited it when we visit Virginia. I’ll miss it but not going back.
I will be celebrating 25,915 days of being a girl in August but not there. (I don’t drink beer anyway.). We all have our ways of protesting a comany.
My beer maker is owned by 'Muricans'...
It's been my beer of choice since 1966. The Black and Tan is very smooth, but the calorie count is higher.
