Anheuser-Busch’s top executive on Friday offered an apology flatter than a day-old Bud Light as the beer giant reels from the backlash over its sponsorship deal with controversial transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Brendan Whitworth said.
“We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
Whitworth’s statement made no mention of the sponsorship deal with Mulvaney — which has led to calls for a boycott of the nation’s largest beer company.
He also didn’t address reports that senior executives were kept in the dark about the Mulvaney rollout.

Shows either a complete lack of understanding of their customers, or a complete disrespect for the sentiments of their customers. They chose Woke activism over good business decisions.
It is a statement. Not an apology.
He just wanted to keep AB's HRC Foundation's Corporate Equality Index high.
Stale, low quality beer can be used to trap snails.
Let’s say all the young folks are politically down with trannies, 100%. And let’s say they’re the only beer drinkers that matter. Why didn’t the women in the marketing department (which they oddly dominate) get offended by Dylan Mulvany’s schtick? It was a very demeaning portrait of womenhood. Let’s face it, beer-drinking women are (largely) the ones who watch March Madness with the boys. Why say to NCAA fans that you have no idea what sport they’re watching?
We both know what he can do with his lying “apology”.
“We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
That’s obama’s job.
Can’t tell whether you’re saying that in reference to the fact that the CIA (for some reason) took over Budweiser/ImBev.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, nice try.
1) Fire Alissa Heinerscheid, the vice president of marketing.
2) Put a notice on all future cans stating that "Transgenderism is a mental illness for which help should be sought."
3) Donate 1 penny of profit for each can sold to the Disabled American Veterans. Commitment to item three should be no less than 20 years.
Then, maybe then we will reconsider your product.
In this case l was referring to the LBGT…creeps but l they are probably afraid of both
Just left Walmart there is a HUGE country music festival in town in the desert of CA. people from all over the country are here in their RV’s EVERY hotel and casino is booked solid, the beer shelves were damn near EMPTY, EXCEPT every Anheiser Bush products AB had HUGE displays with 12 packs set up everywhere ALL still full, coolers were being filled by a few other vendors HOWEVER Bud, Michelob, Corona, FULL to the brim HUGE SMILE on my face seems the word is definitely out and people are NOT touching this product!! I really feel for the merchandising people this is how they earn a living selling and merchandising the product to the stores!! I PRAY that we all continue this FULL STEAM AHEAD it is working!!
An excellent synopsis. This so-called apology and the arrogance of that marketing VP nearly eclipse the display of Mulvaney in revulsion.
Not an apology. Fire Mulvaney and the woman who hired him.
BOYCOTT
That’s perfect.
Love that.
I’m getting really really SICK AND TIRED of EVERYTHING Pervert. Perverts are everywhere and involved in everything. You can’t turn around without having Perverts and their mentally ill perversions stuffed in our faces.
The ENTIRE board of AB and EVERY senior executive needs FIRED Now! Won’t happen because all the perverts will rally around them. Maybe AB should have the Pervert in Chief Joey Crappy Pants Biden come their rescue. Another beer summit? Not with any AB Piss Beer Products. Go to Hell AB!
Just wait.
AB will be running ads with pickup trucks and cowboys very soon.
They will go full court to try to fix the mess
It’s not even a statement. A statement would address the controversy.
No doubt the bomb threats were coming from their own workers who didn’t want to report in to work that day.
