Budweiser has released a new patriotic advertisement as its parent company struggles with controversy over its endorsement partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The advertisement, which was released on social media Friday, features one of Budweiser’s famous Clydesdale horses traversing the country from New York City to the Grand Canyon, passing by scenes in the American heartland as a narrator delivers a patriotic message.
This is a story bigger than beer,” the ad’s narrator says in the ad. “This is the story of the American spirit.”
As the ad plays, the Clydesdale horse passes by some of the most famous American landmarks, showcasing the New York City skyline, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, small towns, and farmland.
At one point, the ad showcases two people raising an American flag as one places her hand over her heart.
“Brewed for those who found opportunity in challenge and hope in tomorrow,” the ad’s narrator says as the horse passes by the flag raising duo and the Lincoln Memorial.
The patriotic ad comes as Anheuser-Busch, which owns Budweiser, continues to deal with backlash over a partnership between another one of its popular brands, Bud Light, and Mulvaney.
Anheuser-Busch has suffered a financial hit as calls to boycott its brands have spread across the country, with one Missouri bar owner telling Fox Business last week that sales of bottled Bud Light dropped 30%, while draft sales dropped 50%.

I love the Clydesdales. Always have. That being said, Budweiser is about as American as TsingTao beer these days. Eff em.
How do we know the nag identifies as a horse?
The people at the root cause of this are inside our forms of media and government institutions. They fawn over themselves. They see themselves as agents of global change. That is not how our limited powers representative republic functions. Those people need to push brooms or dig ditches, staying out of our lives.
FUAB.
You blew it ... now you must die. I hated to give up Stella. But I already have.

“Too little, way too late, PUDweiser.”
In the 70s we used to call them Butt Wiper...
A prophesy?
I saw a chart a few years ago of the major corporations that control the majority of beer production/sales in the world.
InBev
Heineken
Molson/Coors
Kirin
Carlsburg
and a couple others control almost all the world wide brands
No No No ... you got it all wrong!
Horses don’t drink bud lite. Horses make bud lite.
Spuds was a female dog playing a male character in the commercials, so she/he would only add to their sexual confusion.
I think you meant “rending” (tearing) their garments but the ignorant SOB’s might have to “rent” their garments when they go broke. “Where’s that nice suit you used to wear?” ANSWER” “I had to rent it out for income. I’m broke.”
Heh, never heard that one. Very appropriate now! (I never drank any of their offerings).
Here’s the real new ad. The clydesdale is now ‘Prancer’.

Are Clydesdales spreading by patriotic pretense misinformation?
“Damage control” imho
Rather pathetic.
It will be interesting to see how much their value recovers - if at all - over the next 10-14 days.
Too little too late. I quit drinking it they were acquired by the foreign InBev and now this.
