They are losing market share, because their product is lousy, and it's no longer American-owned. So, their idea is to simply threaten the resellers.

Maybe they can give away a Chevy Volt with purchase.

Maybe they should come out with a Guinness Stout competitor and call it Black Panther Beer...

Take the Idiocracy approach:

“If you don’t drink Bud Light.....F You!”

bearing little resemblance to beer.

In other words, like Budweiser.

Since when did Anheuser-Busch make beer? I always thought it was weak horse-p!$$ they were selling. Give me a Shiner Bock any day.

Isn’t this the outfit McCain married into? There are a number of really good American brewers out there now. No reason to waste time or money on this equine derived fizzwater. Still, interesting article.

Ah, beer! It repels all sorts of undesirables!

Bud Light Lime-a-Rita

A fine and engaging name for a true product of the brewer's art, a beer for the discerning connoisseur.

—thanks to the growing popularity of small, independent craft brewers. —

Death by a thousand cuts?

Hope it happens to the music industry as well.

And it’s expensive. Discussed this with a liquor store owner once, when his new hire was shocked that my craft beer was cheaper than the same quantity of Bud. Store owner’s answer “Super Bowl ads aren’t cheap”. When you’re selling a lower quality product at a higher price bad things tend to happen.

I’d love to see the numbers for St. Louis. I bet they are taking a dive. A few of their ex-employees (lots of layoffs) and one of the Busch’s have developed small batch breweries. A lot of restaurants and bars are carrying these products and virtually all of the brewers have tap rooms and many sell growlers. They can lean on the distributors as much as they want, but there is a customer demand.

I am partial to one small brewer. Bottling for the grocery stores is in the long-term plans. Once they announce it’s ready, I’ll ask for it. If enough people ask, the grocery stores will demand to carry it.

the bar i work in has 20 beers on draft- 1/2 are MI crafts- bud light the only ab/inbev, and is one of my worst sellers. no one wants the swill.

we even went almost a year without it on draft, it didn’t impact sales at all.

Try some beer with real flavor. Bud Lite is like the proverbial sex in a canoe.

Budweiser tastes like it has sugar added. It’s nasty.

I’ve had the Shock Top Wheat on tap a number of times and it’s pretty good. Although this is the first time I’m figuring out it’s an AB brand so I’ll see if it taints my perception in the future.
