Anheuser-Busch: Buy Bud Light, or We'll Fire Some Idiot Peasants Like You
PJ Media ^ | 12 July 2023 | Robert Spencer

The dethroned king of beers has fallen on hard times. Its short-lived dalliance with fake woman Dylan Mulvaney and implicit endorsement of the Left’s efforts to force us all to accept the trans madness has not only cost Bud Light its position as America’s top-selling beer, but the Drag Queen of beers isn’t even in the top ten anymore. Bud Light is now the 14th-best-selling beer in the United States, and fairly soon, Anheuser-Busch executives will look back fondly at the days when it was as high as 14th place.

The financial news site Benzinga reported Monday that “a recent YouGov survey reveals the decline in Bud Light’s ranking, casting it below competitors like Pabst Bue [sic] Ribbon, Miller Genuine Draft, and Miller Lite.” In a telling indication that Anheuser-Busch and its friends are now pulling out all the stops to save their former flagship brand, Benzinga notes slyly that the grassroots boycott that has led to the unprecedented consumer abandonment of Bud Light is hurting the common man: “This seismic shift in popularity jeopardizes the livelihoods of the 65,000 people whose economic well-being is intricately tied to Anheuser-Busch InBev’s success.”

The upshot of this is that now apparently Anheuser-Busch and Benzinga want us to join Ted Lieu and Adam Schiff in quaffing Bud Light because if we don’t, some people who aren’t woke ideologues or trans exhibitionists will suffer. And yeah, that’s a real pity, but it’s hardly a positive or inspiring marketing come-on. It does, however, look as if Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth is going with it. He has said of the boycott and sales drop that “it’s the impact honestly on the employees that weighs the most on me.”

When someone uses the word “honestly” in that way, it’s usually because he isn’t being honest....

Yep. I would happily drink a Bud Light if one was offered in a social setting, wouldn’t give it a second thought. Not that I liked it, just to have a beer in my hand secondary to having a good time.

Now?

No thanks. I am going grab something else. Anything. But not Bud Light.

And I do not think I am alone in this.

You're not.

Was at the lake last week and made a beer run.
Somebody in the group wanted a 12 pack of Bud Light.
When we got to the store we all looked at each other,
nobody in the group would buy the Bud Light. Lol.

I have an acquaintance in the beer distribution business. He distributes Miller Lite. His volume increased over 20,000 cases per week. Coors Light same story. They are and have been actively hiring from the AB Inbev distributor. Labor supply and demand already self-correcting.

It is amazing how a couple of woke 40 something marketing executives can wreck a brand overnight.

Anyone else notice how Budweiser ads are now pointing out how many veteran charities they support?

someone should tell the captain “She’s run aground!”. when a ship does run aground it’s ALWAYS,ALWAYS the captains fault. but it’s the captains prerogative to blame the young, inexperienced, WOKE, dumbass navigator for running her aground. Avast mates, no more arrrrguing about it...its time to keelhaul those slimy wokesters then make the survivors walk the plank.

Bud Lite is likely to continue its slide to oblivion and no amount of slick advertising is going to save it.

As the author stated, the powers-that-be at AB are going to look back fondly to when they were Number 14 in sales.
