Only 17%? We need to do a lot better.

I don’t think they will ever recover Bud Lite. IMO

I switched by lawn mowing swill lite beer from Bud to Miller. They taste about the same.

17% is a start, don’t let them off the mat.

Well they are both "fizzy alcohol water."

i went back to drinking yuengling... over coors... i am not a big beer drinker, but i do appreciate brewers who know reality.

Disappointed. Should have been 70%. Too many people just don’t care.

[Red Badger]

Why?

Is Schlitz not available any more?.........................

Exactly

I loved Schlitz in the 70's :)

[tennmountainman]

Yep. Who is drinking this watered down sh*t?

[DesertRhino]

ruthlessly mock and laugh every time you see someone you know having Bud Light at an event, putting it the cooler for a lake trip, whatever.

Kill this brand!

[Mr. K]

Yuengling is pretty good.

Not a big beer drinker.

The only2 I ever really liked was Carling’s Black Label and Stroh’s Dark beer I used to be able to get from Pizza Hut

Worst beer ever: Iron City in the 32 oz can

I see they went defunct in 1999..............

Let's see what happens next week. Some of the sales could have been contract obligations that pre-date the Dylan Mulvaney controversy.

Schlitz was bought by Stroh Brewery Company in 1982 and subsequently sold along with the rest of Stroh's assets to Pabst Brewing Company in 1999.[4] Pabst produced several varieties of Schlitz beers alongside Old Milwaukee.[5]

It's like Saab, once they sold it to GM (or whomever) it was never Saab again.

I live out on the country in FL and every Wawa, Racetrack and 7-11 beer cooler I have been in of late is full of Budt and Budt Wipe.

That light beer doesn’t even smell like the beer of old. Coors Banquet beer had a certain aroma. These light beers smell like tap water with rubbing alcohol splashed in!

[SunkenCiv]

Only 83% to go.

Yuengling is pretty good.

It appears to be selling like hotcakes at my local grocery store. Every time I drop by, I take a look at the beer section now. Lately, Yuengling is being re-stocked pretty frequently while Bud always has lots of stock just kind of sitting there. And I haven’t seen a single person buying Bud lately.
