Please tell that the generic beer isn’t still around.

The generic beer is not still around to my knowledge. I just remembered the fad in the '70s to have plain labels to make it appear that costs were cut in inflationary times. Store brands still exist, and the label is a trivial part of the cost of most commodity goods. I was just thinking about how A-B could recover some money on unsaleable beer.

In the early 80s...low-cal beer was a new fad, and with advertising...Bud-Lite took the front position. Limited options for maybe a decade.

Since 2000? Competition has arrived...having a better taste and identifies as low-cal. All people needed was an incentive like this....to find better tasting low-cal beer.

The logic which A-B failed as a company to grasp...there just aren’t that many people who follow the low-cal beer path. Trying to imagine that tranny-people would make some kind of difference, when probably the vast majority are under the age of 25, and more prone to cocktails (in general)....made no beer-sense.

Kill the company....it is not necessary for customers to affirm the delusions of some person. Beer can be brewed at home. No need for a company to push delusional ideation into my life.

That’s the scheme...make it seem that those delusions are “normative”..and ubiquitous..lose here and there, but get the goofy ideation into the mainstream conversation.

Company needs to die financially.

This corporation’s failure is all on the marketing department. They committed the classic ‘new team’ mistake. They came in and figured they could do things better than previous teams. Hubris, a fatal, classic mistake. Let’s take a look:

A cheaply made, light beer of low quality and wide availability was successfully promoted far beyond the product’s appreciation to consumers through one thing -advertising. The insubstantiave, bland taste was countered using Clydesdale horses, wood and wrought iron carts and a dog which always smiled and didn’t care if you were drinking piss. Your delusion of drinking a strong, substantiave beer was acceptable to your buddy who would piss right along with you. What does he care -he licks his balls?

But now you realize your drinking partner is a mentally ill man pretending to be a girl and you’re actually drinking watered down ‘dog piss’. You’re a fool, a mark and a dupe who’s stuck with a ‘chick-with-a-dick’ and crappy ‘piss beer’. You’re defrauded, humiliated and ridiculed.

Nope, this brand is NOT coming back from that. IMO this was so damaging it has to have been done on purpose. The objective -to kill the brand.

Sure is expensive though.

“beer”

I haven’t drunk truly tasty beer in decades.

“Hop cones contain different oils, such as lupulin, a yellowish, waxy substance, an oleoresin, that imparts flavour and aroma to beer. Lupulin contains lupulone and humulone, which possess antibiotic properties, suppressing bacterial growth favoring brewer’s yeast to grow.”

“Myrcene is responsible for the pungent smell of fresh hops. Humulene and its oxidative reaction products may give beer its prominent hop aroma. Together, myrcene, humulene, and caryophyllene represent 80 to 90% of the total hops essential oil.”

“The term ‘noble hops’ is a marketing term that traditionally refers to varieties of hops low in bitterness and high in aroma. They are the European cultivars or races Hallertau, Tettnanger, Spalt, and Saaz. Some proponents assert that the English varieties Fuggle, East Kent Goldings and Goldings might qualify as ‘noble hops’ due to the similar composition, but such terms aren’t applied to English varieties. Their low relative bitterness, but strong aroma, are often distinguishing characteristics of European-style lagers, such as Pilsener, Dunkel, and Oktoberfest/Märzen. In beer, they are considered aroma hops (as opposed to bittering hops)”

“Particular hop varieties are associated with beer regions and styles, for example pale lagers are usually brewed with European (often German, Polish or Czech) noble hop varieties such as Saaz, Hallertau and Strissel Spalt. British ales use hop varieties such as Fuggles, Goldings and W.G.V. North American beers often use Cascade hops, Columbus hops, Centennial hops, Willamette, Amarillo hops and about forty more varieties as the US have lately been the more significant breeders of new hop varieties, including dwarf hop varieties.”

“Hops may be used in herbal medicine in a way similar to valerian, as a treatment for anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia. A pillow filled with hops is a popular folk remedy for sleeplessness, and animal research has shown a sedative effect. The relaxing effect of hops may be due, in part, to the specific degradation product from alpha acids, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, as demonstrated from nighttime consumption of non-alcoholic beer. 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol is structurally similar to tert-amyl alcohol which was historically used as an anesthetic. Hops tend to be unstable when exposed to light or air and lose their potency after a few months’ storage.”

I have an acquaintance that works sales for a Miller Coors Distributor. He does sales for Miller Lite. His sales increased 20,000/day immediately, touched 30,000/day and are holding. He didn’t know numbers for Coors, but said “they are slammed too.”

We may see Budweiser disappear as a brand.

This was possible by Big D. Mulvany. He is quite the guy.

This just shows how stupid and out of touch most humans are. If you asked most people, they would have no clue what is even happening with AB or why.

This is also why democracy is a failed method for choosing government.

*** They need to take responsibility, confess it was a stupid idea and promise to never repeat it. ***

Promising never to repeat this won’t work anymore. They aren’t trustworthy. We all know they will say one thing to our faces, and do the opposite under the cover of darkness, when people have stopped paying attention.

They’re dead to me.

Ain’t going back to any AB-InBev products.

Anyone over 30 years old shouldn’t be drinking beer.

Influencer Mulvaney made 2 posts with BL, one for March Madness, and one in a bathtub.

Their talking points aren’t working.
