After alienating "fratty" customers and hiring biological male Dylan Mulvaney to promote Bud Light, resulting in a $5 billion loss over the past few days, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth is finally weighing in.
"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," he continued. "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," Whitworth concluded. "Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation."
Meanwhile, no word from Bud Light Vice President of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid over her decision to destroy the brand.
Alissa Heinerscheid, Bud Light’s VP of Marketing, doubles down on her extreme woke strategy to promote the “declining” American beer brand to “young people”, while smearing her former customers as “fratty and out of touch”.
How’s that working out for you, lady? @budlight pic.twitter.com/zNYKbMnZnu— Old Row (@OldRowOfficial) April 9, 2023
Real Beer for Real People
If this was supposed to be some sorry half lame ass apology they failed MISERABLY
197 words and figures and it says absolutely nothing. Astonishing. I’m sure it took quite an effort to write something purported to be a statement while specifically and deliberately saying nothing.
As a CEO, this guy is a failure and needs to be also replaced. Right along with the pig who started this whole thing.
Lets see if they can survive the weeks ahead with that brands sales collapsing even more.
HEY MR CEO! Ever hear this? “Money talks and BULL SHIT WALKS.”
End of story, BUD.
That woman said she was in charge of Bud Light.
They all knew and this just seems to be damage control.
Let’s burn and die out.
That woman is still there so they are doubling down. She should have been sh!tcanned for insulting America but nooooooooo..... she is still there.
HE has a five o’clock shadow and still has his male parts.
This entire thing is a lie to divide and destroy America and hurt children.
Absolutely nothing! He clearly thinks this pap, this weak-beyond-belief, first-grade-level statement will “make things all better”. His delusions are his own. Cheers!
>>This isn’t the 70’s when you had Bud, Miller, Schlitz and Hamms.<<
.
...and Pabst Blue Ribbon in glass bottles for $1.02 per sixpack at the Class 6/Package Store on base. Plus a 6 cents refund when you returned the empties!

🙂
This whole thing is a lie to destroy humanity and begin transhumanism.
So let me get this straight. You use a hyper controversial female impersonator in your ad campaign and now you are proclaiming you "never intended to be a part of a discussion that divides people."
That, sir, is a bald-faced, gas-lighting lie.
So are they going to fire the VP or not? We want blood. Figuratively of course.
This woman in a high position has put women in general back about 250 years, IMO.
How MUCH AB BEER is sold at John Rich’s bar in Nashville???
How much is sold at Blake Shelton’s bar in Nashville???
This kind of stupid is proof that ONE person can cause the downfall of an empire.
Several days ago a person on this board made this comment:
“If I had to guess, I'd say Bud very soon will come up with a beer can honoring the U.S. military and first responders. Flags galore.”
Bud needs to get rid of that woman and hire someone from this board to run that thing.
Well, it was a 5 billion loss in corporate total value on Wednesday evening. 7 billion by Friday morning.

IF this CEO had come out said “HE FIRED THIS PERSON FOR HARMING THE COMPANY” we all could take a different angle-—
BUT -—NOT a word of regret about this MEgA-DEATH action.
freedom, hard work and respect for one anotherSorry, dude, trannies have no respect for others, especially the women (or men) they're pretending to be.
Should have been gone by first of March.
Miller Lite outsells all other beers combined, 4 to 1. I bet they could lose that position overnight if they did what Budweiser just did.
The truth is, although all this “woke” crap has been forced on school students, corporate employees, politicians and media pundits, the free people who go to local bars, private barbecues and parties, or gather in their homes, are far from “woke”.
Normal, free thinking people still see so-called “transsexuals” for what they are: mentally ill freaks. As long as they leave our kids alone, we can be fairly light-hearted about them - they are a source of entertainment - fodder for jokes.
The “woke” leftist elites are convinced have everyone brainwashed, since no one speaks their mind in public. In private, we still speak our minds.
