Budweiser releases new pro-America ad with iconic mascot in wake of Anheuser-Busch Mulvaney controversy
Fox Business via NY Post ^ | April 17, 2023 | Michael Lee

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%.

They used to have the Clydesdales at their brewery just north of here in Merrimack, NH since it open in 1968. All the commercials that showed the horses and hitches in the winter were filmed around here. Also, the one with the hitch during a July 4th parade.

It used to be one those things to do when you had people come into town. Take them to see the Clyedesdales and take the brewery tour. Plus the brewer had antique car shows there on Sundays. They even had a few concerts there in the fields on the south side of the brewer. They have ball fields that they let the town use for little league and soccer games. The horses left a couple years ago(sad).

I’m waiting on the commercial where Dylan is mucking out the stalls, grooming and harnessing the Clydesdales in his exercise leggings and bra.

AGREE-—FULLY.

Tired of seeing mixed race couple that are so “successful” & “Happy”.Watch the judge shows & the divorce shows & there is an entire other story there.

“TV DAD” on Progressive Commercials is absolutely disgusting.

I can see that VP laughing and ridiculing the ad, the backwoods hicks and the frat boys it’s supposed to appeal to. It’s damn cynical and insulting.

Maybe they can reassign her. With that face she could be one of the Clydesdales.

Has AB fired all the people responsible for this, the biggest marketing F/U in business history?

Has AB filed civil suits or criminal charges against the people responsible?

Did AB execs have short-sell orders for tons of their own AB stocks?

Inquiring minds, and such.
