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%.

Ohhhh...so that’s why the commies can’t tell a male from a female!
Bud ‘sorry we tried to slip into our campaign a degenerate immoral trannie spokesmodel... please please please come back to bud... see? We are pro american- no, really, we are’
Now that was honest.
They might get her a fancy new bridle to wear around Manhattan.
Cheap try Bud. It’s a NO from me.
BS. I bet they keep her on.
Throwing the rubes in the hinterlands a bone is not going to turn this ship around!
It really identifies as a reindeer. https://youtu.be/B6PYN50oE1s
What did you switch to as a first try? There are so many other great beers that are affordable.
That Jake was so great! One of their best ads ever.
Sorry Buttwiper, the “American Spirit” is not contained in a can of your panther piss
I live just a few miles from Grant's Farm, the former home of the Busch family. The Clydesdales are kept there and I see them fairly often. They are truly impressive horses.
Somebody should put her face on one of the Clydesdales and make a parody ad.
Without an apology and correction first, the ad is implying that the public should embrace the inclusion of trans and other pervs, because it is the patriotic and American thing to do. They are in fact saying that the boycotters are un-American for not wrapping Dylan Mulvaney in the flag. The two insults taken together, the non-apology and hence the affirmation of the trans freak; plus the cynical appeal to patriotism is a new level of contempt for their customers. To aggravate the matter even more they think that we won’t notice their pathetic manipulations. It’s not that they are stupid, it that they are evil elites who disdain our values.
Let’s call Caitlyn by his real name, Bruce. Let’s stop using their damn lingo. It legitimizes it.
But it’s too late baby, now, it’s too late
Though you really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And you can’t hide and you just can’t fake it
With apologies to Carole King
According to the website, they still have them...
