Bud Light is in "serious trouble" and could lose the title of bestselling beer in America as backlash to the infamous promo with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney continues to haunt the company, according to a report in its hometown paper.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a scathing story, "Bud Light sales continue to plummet after transgender marketing controversy," that put a spotlight on the massive decline.
Bud Light in-store sales have dropped 26% during the week that ended April 22, the Post-Dispatch reported, citing data from Connecticut-based Bump Williams Consulting, which specializes in the beverage alcohol industry.
The Post-Dispatch noted "the decline is only accelerating" as Bud Light had shed 21% of its sales the previous week and 11% the week before that. Total sales are down 8% for the year, according to the paper.
Bump Williams himself, the founder and CEO of the company that shares his name, told the Post-Dispatch that Bud Light is still the top-selling beer in America but "Bud Light is in serious trouble this year" if Anheuser-Busch can’t halt the decline soon.
"I think it runs the risk of losing that No. 1 position at the end of calendar year 2023 to Modelo Especial," Williams told the paper.
Anheuser-Busch, which has long been headquartered in St. Louis where the Post-Dispatch has significant influence, has been mocked, criticized and boycotted since the pact with Mulvaney was revealed.
The issue began in March when Mulvaney publicized that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light featuring the influencer’s face as a way to celebrate a full year of "girlhood."

I am done with Bud Light. Yes, I drank it.
Yuengling now for me.
Modelo is also InBev.
Unfortunately, I'll have to switch to another cheap beer, maybe Hamms I'm thinking of.

I’m reminded of something a dimwit once said to me when Hillary was running...2008?....”We need a woman president to straighten this country out.”
I loved Hamm’s, back in the day....Florida, $3 a case at WinnDixie...”The Beer People.”
I got Yuengling Flight as an alternative to Mich Ultra. And I prefer the yuengling but they are very similar.
Hey Mabel. Black Label.
I would imagine most sponsorships from this company will be promoting “Budweiser” for a time as though “Bud Light” doesn’t exist.
Poor things.
oh no
and pride month coming next month
maybe it is time for a dylan tv commercial
HRC would love that
“Lite” beer is nothing but pee!!!!
Drink your locally-produced full-bodied beer! Or drink Dos Equis with Mexican food. You’ll be glad you did!
I could have lost 16% not 26% and only charge $1.5 million. Compared to the moron marketing idiot that hit the 26% number,
same here
Yes, corporations and politicians should take notice that American opinions, common sense, normal values, matter. Go woke, go broke.
bud light
its for evening formals and bubble baths
i dont do either
Carlsberg.
That horrible swill should be in trouble even without the trannie nonsense. Even cheapos like Icehouse or Keystone are comparable. Or you could dilute a good pilsener with some club soda and have the same thing.
