Our Responsibility To America (Anheuser-Busch Press Release)
Anheuser-Busch ^ | April 14, 2023 | Brendan Whitworth (Anheuser-Busch CEO)

Posted on 04/14/2023 12:39:19 PM PDT by House Atreides

As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew.

We’re honored to be part of the fabric of this country. Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues. We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.

We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.

My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.

I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others.

Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation.

Brendan Whitworth

CEO, Anheuser-Busch

"As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew believe in making statements that don't actually say anything, resolve issues, or generally show that I'm competent at my job."

Fixed it.

A NON-APOLOGY APOLOGY if I’ve ever heard one.

Just noise.

Too funny

That’s the best MEME take away from it all.
Another major backfire from the Non-American-but-now-Belgian PissBeer maker.

With this non statement, Anheuser-Busch is basically saying Eff you all.

A jumble of words that will not upset anyone because the words mean nothing.

It took two weeks to come up with that?

How about strongly disavowing the terrible decision to pick a sexually deviant grown man who masquerades as a pathetic immature adolescent valley girl to pimp your piss water and then firing your entire marketing department?

Well, I wouldn’t really call that an apology so I’m not sure why the statement was issued. If Bud Lite remains on the shelf and bars have another weekend of few calls for Bud Lite, then AB is in serious trouble and is in for a rough quarter. Their next earnings conference call should be interesting. Once beer drinkers switch brands, it’s going to be hard to get them to switch back.

That’s nothing. The oil industry from exploration through distribution employs an amount of people second only to the government, yet they are still despised.

You think your crap beer has a chance?

“Blaa, blaa Blaa”...Therefore what?
What action, if any will be taken to repair the damage?
We don’t need to hear about your private angst.
