Once people discover that a mere 25 or 50 cents gets you a more than a marginally better beer from a company that’s not giving in to the letter crowd, there’s no going back.

Once beer companies discover that beer does not sell with a man in a dress on the can..

I don’t think AB has realized this yet because they still have not apologized even though it’s too late.

During the month of May BUD stock has gone from 65 to 57.

I wonder how far out the distributor contracts go.

There could be businesses that are forced to buy Bud for the next few months until the contract expires.

So their sales can perhaps go much, much lower.

Sticking in my mind is the indelible image of the ditzy advertising VP beaming with pride as she discussed the woke strategy of her idiotic trans message. She was so incredibly proud of herself.

Maybe the company can try to get their “woke and now fired” marketing genius to reimburse them for their losses. Lol!! Btw, did she go to work for Target?

If she’s still employed by Anheuser Busch Co, they are definitely dumber than meets the eye!

I’m sure some woke company will offer her a flat hand with a sugar cube and lead her away. 🐴

Some people fail to recognize that Bud Light is only ONE Anheuser Busch brand.

AB developed a huge market for a crappy product through 3 decades of brilliant marketing.

They destroyed the brand in less than one month with an insane woke DEI agenda. My gut tells me this market is not coming back. This is not the result of a boycott - it's customers repudiating the product. And the lame patriotic marketing campaign to try to repair the damage and win back customers is simply insulting

Transpose DEI and you get DIE - coincidence? I think not.

A public apology seems like an obvious solution but I suppose that just can’t happen
