They can try to hide the full impact for a while, but not forever, as unsold beer reaches its expiration date and stores decline to restock.

“As a rule of thumb, you should approach beer storage using the 3-30-300 rule. This rule states that you can keep beer at 90°F for only 3 days before it goes bad. It will last 30 days at 72°F, which is around room temperature. Finally, beer will last up to 300 days at 38°F. “

When will stockholders revolt and start firing these incompetent corporate leaders? Corporate leaders should concentrate on making a specific product in the most efficient way that is good and acceptable to the market for which it is designed. Creating demand within your market is acceptable but going outside of your base to influence unpopular social change is not the job of a corporation. A corporation should remain neutral, sell their product without discrimination, and concentrate on returning income to investors.

“Anheuser-Busch: Buy Bud Light, or We’ll Fire Some Idiot Peasants Like You”

They certainly are pushing the narrative: “Buy Bud Lite, or families like yours will starve.”

As others here have pointed out, overall beer sales haven’t haven’t dropped, so for everyone family that ‘starves’ due to a Bud Lite worker losing his job, another family is pulled out of the path towards living in a government-supplied tent in San Francisco.

More evidence that there just aren’t enough “woke” to provide a customer base.

The company is willing to take a 20 BILLION dollar reduction in market value over a virtue signal rather than abjectly apologize. Says a lot about how MANY companies think.

--- "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..."

It is important how one tells any story. The wording of Spencer's work is surgical, and turns the oppressor-oppressed model of the postmodern Left on its ear.

As one looks at so much of today's media messaging, when read closely, it comes down to storytelling, in which characters are assigned some kind of a priori moral value. By the storyteller. Not by the evidence.

"The dethroned king of beers" does just that. While AB tries to portray itself as a victim, we know that this is storytelling in which THEY assign their place in the story. One need not ever agree with the storytelling of the news, when such as AB's string of PR gaffes spews like successive lava flows from the maggot magma below.

To " accept the trans madness" is to accept the storytelling that a Biden administration official and "fake woman", Robert-Rachel Levine, is interested in "gender-affirming care" when the other way of telling the story is he-she is interested in surgically sterilizing vulnerable kids because the admiral is among the perverts playing victim when they are correctly identified as corrupt in mind as in politics.

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.

Always remember, these are the same people who with a straight face will tell you, “Biden received 81 million votes” and “The left is half the population in the U.S.”

If the “left are half the population” why aren’t they buying the Bud Light and why are their sales dropping at all? After all, wouldn’t that be the way to show conservatives how powerful they are? The light of truth exposes all lies.

If the total amount of beer sold remains constant, then the total number of jobs in the industry will remain constant. They’ll just be at different companies.

"..his beer baron friends abandoned him in his hour of need: “I was scared,
and I was scared of more backlash,.."

Their male sulking in Macchu Picchu has nothing to fear, normal society
has little regard for an extremely weird male paid well for his weirdness.

The heterosexual beer companies are doing well and are hiring. Learn to Yuengling.

Factually incorrect about the sales ranking of Bud Light. Still one of the top in sales. That number about dropping out of the top 10 is not a sales number, but polling about beer popularity. I think they dropped from 8 or 9 to 14. It’s kind of meaningless though.

I don’t like it when we have such errors that the left can pounce on.

Bud light is a trash beer that competed on price alone. It didn't really have an official "image" (and didn't need one).

If it had been a quality product, very likely the controversy would eventually blow over.

People, don’t buy Modelo either. It is also owned by Tranheiser-Busch InBev.

Whitworth should step aside. After all, he's the one steering the ship and has tanked the product in only 2 years at the helm.
