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.

No Problem. Shock Top-don’t like orange flavored wheat beer, I’ll add my own slice of citrus to a Heffi, thank you. All of AB’s so called ‘pilsners” have rice fillers, as do many domestics, so I stopped swilling em after I joined the navy and did some learnin’ about beer, and I had already stopped drinking Busch when I got a job at 16 and could afford Bud LOL. Stella never interested me. Have tried both Kona and Land Shark’s ales, garbage. Natty-just nasty. The others, like Stella, never interested me enough to try them. If I try anything new, its usually a Stout, Pale Ale, or an IPA. Seeing all those under the AB banner makes total sense now.
It IS hilarious. I’m glad you like it :) Heheh, gonna learn it. Cool!
As do I, one of my favorites. Do you do Black and Tans, and if so, do you like Bass or Harp with it?
While our nation is being taken over by Bolshevik-Nazis, we need the humor.
I believe it's the only true "domestic" lager brewed here, but I could be wrong. Just a great tasting beer, especially an ice cold one after mowing the yard.
RE: Heirs
Sadly, most sold the companies/businesses/farms to foreigners.
Ha! Didn’t know that story until I looked it up after your post. Hysterical.
The Nike Bro for manboob bud drinkers.
By far the best session beer.
I drank a lot of American beer in my younger days. The one that always made me sick was Schlitz.
I wonder how much is sold at his concerts?
Bad publicity and lost sales. I never understand ‘wokeness’.
