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%.

Bass ale is In/Bev also

Sad to see Rolling Rock on that list. Used to be good beer!
Khaki’s?
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).
That’s the ad they should’ve shown instead of the insane one
Well there is that
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.
They left Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA also.
One of the ladies in the Bud commercials was in my English Class in College. She was about 40...and already had plastic surgery..
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.
You just won the groaner of the day award.
Maybe they can reassign her. With that face she could be one of the Clydesdales.
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.
Mr Bud and Mr Weiser meet Mr Hoist and Mr Petard.
I’m not touching the stuff until they bring back Spuds McKenzie.
Khakis, boat shoes, Red polo shirt that I got from my insurance agent(I have been insured with State Farm for 15+ years) and a name tag I bought on the internet:
