NKY business owner who stopped serving Bud Light says it’s not for the reason you think

BOONE COUNTY, Ky. (WXIX) - A local BBQ spot has stopped selling Bud Light amid the beer brand’s decision to partner with a trans social media influencer.

Guy Cummins owns Smokin’ This And That BBQ in Florence. It’s a “small mom and pop” restaurant, Cummins says, with favorable reviews and some national acclaim.

Recently, however, the restaurant drew criticism after Cummins authored a Facebook post saying he would no longer sell Budweiser or Bud Light.

“Smokin’ This And That BBQ will no longer be serving Budweiser or Budweiser Light due to inappropriate labels. This kind of behavior and or marketing skills speaks volumes about their lack of communication with their real-time plain folk customers. Please share and keep the faith. This too shall pass,” the post read...

Cummins has since deleted the post, but you still can’t get a Budweiser or Bud Light at his restaurant.

He’s not the only one around the country to do so. Bud Light’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender actor, TikTok star and University of Cincinnati alumna with more than 12 million social media followers, has drawn a significant response...

Cummins maintains he wasn’t trying to make a political or social statement. “If I offended anybody, I apologize. It wasn’t my intent,” he said.

The restaurant owner says he made the decision to halt its sale of Budweiser and Bud Light after he saw customers verbally attacked for choosing to drink them.

“I’ve never seen this before, ever,” he said. “There were no physical altercations or anything. It was all verbal. But you figure late at night, alcohol is involved... You know, it could run into that.”…

Tranny Light drinkers should be mocked.

I’d love to see the woke crowd try to cancel an owner of a BBQ joint in Boone County, KY. Perhaps the trannies would like to come demonstrate? That would be fun to witness.

That’s one of the reasons I would think, among about half a dozen others.

Is Bud light considered beer in the USA? I find that rather ironic.

Bud lite, a confused drink for the gender confused. It’s a great marketing strategy.

Regular Bud is perhaps more tolerable, as yankee beer goes, which is basically, sooner the better.

Well known joke outside America: what is superior to American beer?

Beer.

“The restaurant owner says he made the decision to halt its sale of Budweiser and Bud Light after he saw customers verbally attacked for choosing to drink them.”

Likely a false flag, but if not, the first sign of push-back by our side since the 1950s.

The best part of this is all the threads about beer, and how Bud and it’s iterations are not beer.

Or, beer that was allowed to stand open in the sunlight until all the alcohol ran off.

“The color and taste of pi**, but no buzz.”
