On Super Bowl Sunday, millions of people watching the big game will see a Budweiser commercial that portrays an adorable friendship between a bald eagle and a horse as they grow up together on a scenic farm. The beer ad, soundtracked by Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird," celebrates Budweiser's 150th anniversary by pairing the brand's Clydesdale mascot with a national symbol for America's 250th birthday. The commercial builds up to a stunning shot of the eagle spreading its wings while perched atop the horse's back — briefly resembling a pegasus — before the bird breaks into flight. "You crying?" a farmer...

The Budweiser Clydesdales are back for the Super Bowl in 2026 – and they’re teaming up with a couple of other American icons: a bald eagle and legendary Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Super Bowl ads are starting to roll out and Budweiser just dropped a teaser that already has people talking and guessing. The clip opens in a barn with the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales doing their thing when they suddenly stop and stare at a shiny metal bucket that’s … moving. Whatever’s underneath is making noises, the horses are curious, and we’re all sitting here wondering what on earth is hiding under there. Budweiser tagged the spot with the title “Stable” and confirmed they’re officially back for Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. No other details yet, just a lot of...

The embarrassment is real for Bud Light. Several distributors of Anheuser-Busch beer say they have accepted the fact they’ve lost money — and a lot of it — due to consumers boycotting Bud Light. And not just that, but they’ve also given up completely on trying to win back customers who have been negatively affected by the anti-American beer’s Dylan Mulvaney campaign, according to the New York Post. Hiring freezes and layoffs have been going on for four months, while some beer truck drivers have been slammed with hecklers and other harassment while Bud Light’s sales have tanked over 25%....

For over three months since its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, beer giant Bud Light has been getting rocked with embarrassment on a daily basis. For both Bud Light and its umbrella brand Anheuser-Busch, sales have completely tanked. And speaking of that umbrella, it’s been getting slammed with heavy rain as Anheuser-Busch’s stocks have come down as well. And what’s been A-B’s plan in an attempt to get out of their Mulvaney disaster? To just simply act like nothing ever happened. Instead of just owning up to their stupidity and...
