Bud Light partners with trans activist

[NicPaus]

In a recession one of the biggest items is cheap beer…. BL isn’t going anywhere.

They raised the price at Sam's club. And I got carded.

I didn't drink any beer last night I was so dehydrated. I love 805 but can't drink it daily. With do many jobs going my mind was spinning all night. Broke down and bought more Tranny light. I can't do these 12 + hour days and not have a beer after. I can't sleep.

X1000. When people say they are ready to rise up in the streets.. issues like this are why I know it will never happen.

People on both sides will fight endlessly over useless platitudes and symbolism, and then forget about it all when the next “thing to be mad over” pops up.

You can take it a step further, (I’m not claiming to be a sober martyr) but quit drinking and clean up the country.

Ironically we’re bitching about the way Anheuser Busch is conducting themselves. Meanwhile the majority is still having a cocktail (myself included) while the conservative majority says the rebuplic is under attack by this current administration.

Im not going to stop drinking Modelo.

Im not going to stop drinking Modelo.

Big fan of modelo in this house. As well as Pacifico and Corona, which last I checked I think all say “modelo” on the can/bottle.

It’s a PR circle Jerk as far as I’m concerned.

The harsh reality is that if people turn the screws to Anheuser Busch, they will pivot. They will start a new corporation overnight, and create an entirely new brand. It will become the new hip thing that no one has heard about.

They will get a good marketing team behind it, and no one will ever know the difference. That is the worst case scenario for Anheuser-Busch.


If no one believes me, do you remember Zima? That is what white claw, truly, every other seltzer is today.

Cruising along Rice Rd Thursday I noticed the iconic "Budweiser Lane" and "Bud Light Place" signs gone with empty voids where they hung for decades at the access roads entrances.

Customers still drinking both at the Flying X and Fox's this weekend.

I got no beef with Bud over this. It's the in-your-face and reverse intolerance of the Trans Activists stepping on others that's going too far IMHO.

You used to hear the liberals preaching tolerence every day, I dont hear that anymore?....Hypocrite much? .....Personally I could care less but since it's been turned into the largest crisis facing our country its getting a little old....Live and let live both ways.

I haven't actively drank a Bud product in 30 years but its been a go to when I fill the shop refrigerators of people I do business with in our town.

Zima was sweet and sugary. White claw, truly and other seltzers sell because they aren't sweet and have very low carbs and calories in comparison. That segment of the market struggled for 20 years until seltzers came out for that very reason.

None of these "new hip brands" hold a candle in sales to the big 3, Miller Coors Bud.... They are just ways to occupy more fringes of the market.

If it was a white claw advertisement with all this controversy they could easily just let that brand die on the vine and launch some new one to fill the market.

Aint happening with Bud Light.

I wouldn't struggle with not drinking it. its not like you asked for all the bullshit.

In a couple months nobody will remember much about any of this anyway. You wont see another add related to any trans gender anything.

Amazing How the store here at Emerald its not selling much of it. Last night at Big Bend people were drinking AB Products.
Emerald's bar is like 90% AB Stuff.

I’m not gonna stop drinking period. I will just choose more carefully what I drink.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

It’s making some things better tho, i ask my wife today what she thought about a song as i wasn’t digging the whole pandora channel that was on, she said it was “definitely a song to listen to while drinking a bud light”

That Tranny after taste???

All this weirdness is giving a whole new meaning to 'Blown Tranny.'

It is actually worse, since most are shifting consumption to other brands.

Coors Light and Miller Lite’s dollar share went up 3.5% and 3.1% respectively, suggesting Bud Light’s losses in dollar share resulted directly from consumer recoil rather than a lapse in beer demand. Over the same period, Coors Light cases went up 10.6% and Miller Lite jumped 11.5%. Meanwhile, Bud Light cases have fallen 6.7% year-to-date, 10.7% for the week ending on April 8, and more than 21% for the week ending on April 15.

Trying to recover a 21% drop is volume sales will be very difficult to recover.

The consumers have spoken and AB-In Bev will have difficulty recovering from this (most likely will have to revise fiscal year projections at the next release, which will cause additional stock price stress). Yes, you can drop the price to try to win back consumers, but those that stopped drinking BL will not switch brands again until one of the others F‘s up a marketing campaign.

And this validates that beer drinkers are not quitting beer drinking…they are shifting consumption to other beers.
So the attempt to guilt boycotters with the whole “what about the truck drivers!?” spiel quickly loses traction.

If AB are silent, in a year they will be back to where they were, and/or their share will come back to other InBev brands.

Most people do not have that long of a memory and don’t care about the cause that much.

How much Nike owned brands of clothing does this site wear that swore off their clothing a few years ago?

Nike, Jordan, Hurley (until 2022) Converse, and other brands are all under the Nike umbrella.

 

[BabyRay]

A friend of mine retired a few years ago from his job as a driver for the local Budweiser distributor. I know he’s glad he’s retired, because the teasing from his customers would have been relentless. What I don’t know is what he’s going to do with the many neon signs hanging in his garage. Probably couldn’t GIVE them away now.

For me?
100% what I say is what I do.
It’s a mistake to pigeonhole ALL people as forgetful knee bending convenience whores.
I keep reading how all will forget and it’ll be moot very soon.
To me, these statements are all from people requiring self validation for their inability to commit to even their own imagined ethics. They can’t hold themselves to their imagined standards, so they have to include society in their weakness’s in order to reconcile their inability to be true to themselves.
To say the “everyone” will fold says more about the person suggesting it than everyone else.

The average beer consumer = yes. You’re not dealing with the average consumer. I would say 8-10% are folks who will forget over time depending on what BL marketing does. The other percentage is gone until something changes and they switch again.

Want to know how many people I saw last weekend cursing AB that had a Corona or NUTRL in their hand?

Light beer drinkers are the average consumer. They have lost, what 20% this month? So those are the “based” BL drinkers. If we have not already seen the worst, the next week or two will be the worst it is going to get for them, and they it will start bouncing back. There will be a new thing to be outraged about and people will start forgetting this.

Light beer is the lowest common denominator. If you liked drinking BL for decades, you probably aren’t going to “unlike” it. Pepsi people will choke down a Coke if they have to, but only for so long.

Most BL drinkers will be back before the holiday season, or into the arms of another InBev brand, which is even funnier.

Hopefully this leads to a light beer price war next month.

A bunch of people.
I quoted your post but certainly am not singling your post out.
A cursory perusal of this thread shows more than a few people laughing and discrediting the boycotters as bandwagon flash in the pans.

I personally don’t think it matters one iota if InBev suffers any overall devaluation.
To me it doesn’t mean a fucking thing if sales or stock value or anything else goes up or down at all.
What only matters is being true to myself. THAT is what this big movement is based on, not the attempt to hurt or diminish a global corporations bottom line.
InBev will not notice my involvement at all.
It’s only ME that breathes easily with my decision.

It’s the same as lumping “everyone” in that does not toe the Trump line in as leftists.

We do it all the time here. Humans make generalizations all the time.

If you no longer want to drink it you won’t hear anything from me about it. That is your choice, and none of my business. I applaud you for sticking to your principles.

Here we go with more generalizations… the vast majority of people don’t have that nuanced of principles…. NFL, NBA, Nike, Target, etc..

I’m not faulting anyone for going back on their stance. I’m just saying at a macro level, nothing really changes.

Heinerscheid, the girl wonder from Harvard and Wharton, said Bud Light had been in a small decline for a long time and it was her job to fix it. Well fix it she did, turned a small decline into a deluge. Well done, way to understand your customers.

I’m sure Harvard and Wharton are beaming with pride.
