If someone starts running pro gun ads with Dylan Mulvaney, the boycotters are really going to lock up. 😬


Apparently gun manufacturers are more business savvy than the beer manufacturers knowing their target demographic. Down $4B in a week typically has people loading up office belongings and taking the walk of shame lol

Noticed not a single person drinking BL at the legion tonight....nor at another establishment in Cave Creek....it was noticeably removed from the shelf of "what they have" and the bartender was quite vocal about it lol.

4 bil in market loss in a week...not to mention the bath some distributors are taking in sales. The euro chick in charge of marketing should have long got her walking papers but these idiots double down.

Shows how committed/afraid AB is of the movement more than anything. Either that, or world wide sales aren’t suffering. I’d bet AZ, FL sales of BL are plummeting. Wouldn’t be a lot on Blue states reacting the same way.

She's a Wharton graduate...so she cannot be "business stupid" so to speak...she obviously is intentional about what she is doing and sure painted them into a corner with this campaign though. I'm just not sure why they chose to rebrand BL in this way vs one of their other portfolio brands...thats "community" isn't what I would call the typical BL drinker by any stretch, nor is it big enough to pick up the loss of the standard BL drinker demographic...

Lol, when I saw this photo my first thought was that "the offspring" hasn't had a new album out in awhile

Used to be one of my 2 favorite bands alongside Pennywise. I dont listen to them anymore 😕 I did send them an email via their contact page and suggested they listen to the lyrics of this song I know, "All I Want" its by a band called The Offspring.

I’ve worked with a handful of Wharton grads. Not that impressive. 😉😁. Pretty sure all were flushed out.
We’ll see how far they’re willing to take this one. I’m sure the craft beers have been taking share over the last decade. I still wouldn’t have bailed on the loyal customers.

How did he get a brewing company going so fast? Been ready and waiting for a prime opportunity? Or more fake news with a photoshopped can?
I think he is an investor and is now nationally endorsing to help build it's market.

I refuse to call these people "trans" and instead refer to them as what they really are. "fake women".

I can take a Bayliner and put Cigarette stickers all over it but nobody is going to call it a Cigarette. They going to call it a fake Cigarette.

I've said it before...The Fall of the Roman Empire 2.0 and it's happening allot freaking faster than I previously thought.

Thankful nearly 1/2 the population is standing ground, in the US anyway.
Sales of Bud Light have dropped more than 30% the past week and still declining from what I've read.
Draught beer sales down over 50%. I am sure their other brands are providing income though.

Modelo and Stella are both InBev products as well as Michelob Ultra. I don't see folks giving up those all that easily because they don't know or feel the brands are separated enough.

Seems Miller Lite is making a comeback in a big way. Taste Great, Less Filling stadium chants perhaps will make a return. A Molson Coors product.

And just who would that “someone” be?
When’s the last time anyone saw a gun ad of any kind?
About the same time as a Marlboro ad?

Dumbass.
Why dont you go over there to the “fuck straight off” area?

PBR is also a Molson Coors product.

The mental decline of a long time inmate going from contributing to the community to trolling the community is sad to say the least.

Just another reason not to drink something that tastes and smells like snake urine.

Modelo is lower carbonation. I think that's more the reason people drink it. Less bloat.

That last part there…. Seriously it isn’t necessary or warranted. Please show some moderation of civility on here.

This, alcohol is still sold at state approved stores in Mass, not available in any retail stores...we call them package stores.
Corporations aren't going to feel the hit like my friends that have these stores, the margins are tiny so they rely on volume.

So after a bit of investigation there's this "rational" its all about the "Benjamins" except it looks to have backfired on the other end of the finances .... Income from product "SALES" $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If I was a billionaire I'd relaunch 'Olympia' beer and go full tilt 'Merica'.
That stuff wasn't any worse or better than any of the cheaper American Beers.

Could you imagine getting the rights to use some old Clint Eastwood pics in your marketing campaign !?!?!?!

It was rhetorical and meant to express my confusion on why anyone could possibly care what a trans activist thinks? Why would a trans activists views influence anyones actions? Why does anyone value that trans activists views so much that they would respond in any way at all? It's just another "celebrity" opinion. I can't imagine how any Instagram person, rock star or actor could ever become so important and relevant in my life as to make me support a company by buying their product only to blow it up with an AR?

For me the only reason to drink Bud Light; would be if there is absolutely nothing else left to drink. Regardless of who is touting it as a great product.

I am however a little jealous of all the people in the United States who have so little to do, and so few other issues to contend with in life, that they have the available bandwidth to give a shit about what a Dylan Mulvaney thinks. I'd really like to get to the point where everything is so good in my world, that some trans activist drinking bud Light ranks as one of the biggest problem confronting me. Now that is a life I'd like to have. 👍

My brother works with a bunch of farms in South Eastern Idaho that harvest barley. Apparently they told Anheuser to get fucked and won't sell to them currently.

Now, THAT is freakin’ funny! I guess you didn’t know the history of Olympia beer.

It used to be HUGE in my neck of the woods, as it was originally brewed Iin Olympia, Washington. That was, until the president of the company was caught by police, engaging in sexual activity in a park bathroom, with two other men. After that, it was referred to as “Queer Beer, and no self-respecting man would be caught drinking it.

Here’s a link to an article about it.

By the way, I posted this in the first thread on this topic, and the thread disappeared soon after. Let’s see if this one sticks around. 😂

You're a smart guy. Respectfully, I'm surprised you don't see why people are put off by this. It's just another step in tearing down of what America is suppose to be with traditional values. Now, our schools encourage the idea of living an alternative gay or trans lifestyle to our children, it's so over the top and being shoved in everyone's faces on a daily basis, and then the pronouns. It's over the top..

Yeah, Kid Rock's response was over the top. Man he looked high as a kite..

Not supporting brands is very American.. That's how it works... If Trump sold products, there's not a snowball's chance in hell you would buy any of it. You're the same.

People have the "bandwidth" because they care a lot about their country. Just like you do..

Replace Trans Activist and Dylan Mulvaney in the above with Trump and reread this while looking in the mirror, and reflecting on your political musings of the last 7 years.

I certainly see your point, that by punishing Bud for their pro-trans stance, it's sending a message to the government or somebody ? That we don't appreciate this movement being forced upon us. I can certainly relate and agree.

BUT

The pro-trans movement is going to capitalize on the general public's reaction and use it as an example of the depth of the persecutions they suffer ---- I truly believe they will work tirelessly to create a glaring negative from this.
I hope I'm wrong.

The fact that you conflate as equals in importance a trans activist and the President of the only remaining Super Power in the world may be my exact point. 🤔

What persecutions are they suffering exactly? 🤣🤣

No one gave a crap either way until they tried to persecute the general public by trying to force us to proactively promote and enable and never ever question their lifestyle choices.

They create a glaring negative out of everyone and everything that dares to even question any of the demands they are attempting to put on our society, and our children.
