"Nobody imagined it would go on this long," Schuhmacher said. He continued: "It seems random — it struck a nerve. I've never seen anything to compare it to, in all of the [consumer packaged goods] industry. It’s a real shock."

Yup same here. But I could never stand Budweiser or any of its products.

Pour me a Yuengling.

If I were an exec at INBev, I would be concerned about thus spreading to other INBev brands.

But Bud Light sucks anyway. Lots of quality beers out there just waiting, for example Yuengling which has just gone into distribution nationwide.

Those former Bud drinkers ain't going back, not never ever.

The thing that gets me the most here isn’t the stupidity of ImBev, but rather the ABJECT FEAR their management must be dealing with - otherwise, there is NO WAY they would allow the collapse of what is now becoming their entire business.

I’m thinking it’s the European Regulators who have them by the throat, as we haven’t progressed to that ‘progressed’ to that point yet (that only happens when, and if, the Globalists win the Ukraine War).

I tried my first Yuengling last week, which incidentally, could not be sold where I lived due to laws that were enacted based on Anheuser-Busch lobbying.

That was a good beer. It will go on the serve at a party list where Bud/Michelob used to reside.

The leftists are really playing 3D chess and we fell for it.

Google for "alcohol health" and you will see there has been a campaign to demonize alcohol by the NHS and now the US medical community.

The left is systematically destroying and eliminating all of our cultural touchstones and replacing them with their own.

In 20 years time weed will be plentiful and legal for everyone while using alcohol or tobacco will cost you getting any medical attention.

Yuengling is now the oldest brewery in the US. And it is the official beer of Army artillery. Yuengling for me!

“It seems random — it struck a nerve. I’ve never seen anything to compare it to, in all of the [consumer packaged goods] industry. It’s a real shock.”

Normal people have reached a breaking point after 60 years of perversions being rammed down their throats and every single time we just took it in the name of “tolerance.” Doesn’t it dawn on guys like this that people have limits and using a fruitcake that pretends he is a girl is just too far? Did he think the NORMALS would just continue to take every perversion under the sun forever?

Doesn’t he understand that the NORMALS know their next frontier is taking your children for their perverted sexual satisfaction? What could be worse than an adult male pretending he is a female child?

You haven’t seen anything yet. People are fed up with the filth being shoveled onto our nation’s children in stores, in media, in schools, by teachers and in the streets with public parades of nudity and lewdness.

Books that are absolutely written in such pornographic terms an adult would cringe, are being read to little ones!

ENOUGH!

Does anybody remember the fallout from the instance where Tylenol, in packages on the shelf, was found tp be poisoned? That was a PR nightmare for the makers of Tylenol, but they moved swiftly to take steps, first recalling EVERY package of Tylenol, destroying that entire recall, then coming up with new “tamper-proof” packaging, meanwhile informing the public of the steps they took. The full faith of the public was restored, but also, every other manufacturer came up with a version of “tamper-proof” packaging, which included gluing the cardboard packaging shut, so it had to be torn open, , or there was a band shrunk-fit around the bottle cap, the bottle cap itself had to be opened in a certain way, and within the bottle cap was a foil seal that had to be removed.

Budweiser has a similar but much more extensive PR task for themselves. It may be advisable to simply abandon the brand altogether, rather than to rebuild it. People have turned to malt liquor or hard seltzer instead of beer in any form.

“i always ask if they have bud light on tap, and then order my yuengling... hehehe”

My BIL did that when we went to dinner last week. LOL! The waitress (golf course restaurant) totally got it. Obviously, it has happened before.

“NBC is very careful to refer to Mulvaney as she and her.”

Ditto for Fox.

They will come back if there are no alternatives. There are many alternatives.


100%. I wish Musk would release his new smart phone already. Millions of people will flock away from Apple and Android (Google).

“It wasn’t hard for people to find other beers they like more than AB beers.”

I’m sure AB is working overtime now to pass laws against small microbreweries.........

Yuengling

We live about 30 miles from Pottsville PA home of Yuengling which is all we drink around here.

It almost makes me wish I was a Bud Light beer drinker so I could give it up and spend my beer money with a non-woke competitor.

Haha. I was thinking the same thing. I don't drink, but even years ago when I did I couldn't endure Budweiser or any other big label beers. All tasted like corn or rice slurry. Probably the best thing for antiwokeness, and domestic economy, is Americans buying craft beers, especially locally based.
