  1. Shrug.
    Bud = fairy piss.
    Bud lite = something less.

    So what else could we expect?

  3. Paragraph 1 : Boilerplate patronization plea.
    Paragraph 2 : An effort to highlight who the boycott effects in an effort to gain sympathy/empathy
    Paragraph 3 : A big mistake IMO. Beer isn’t brewed to bring people together. It is brewed to drink, and make the manufacturer money.
    Paragraph 4 : There was no need for the CEO to highlight his “service” other than to curry favor and move away from their tarnished reputation
    Paragraph 5: The CEO travels and listens, but apparently he’s listening to the wrong people or just not hearing what he’s being told.
    Paragraph 6 : Talk about pronoun trouble…. “I” should be “We.” What kind of CEO doesn’t consider his employees an extension of him/her self.

  4. As CEO, we needlesly picked a side on a socio-political issue and we’re sorry that you’re on the opposite side of that issue… since you are our customers. Now quit being so divisive and go back to buying our products. We’re willing to admit that we were right if you’re willing to admit that you were wrong. I really need that second yatch so hurry up you knuckle dragging Neanderthals.

  5. I’ll bet offering free frat parties for the next decade won’t save this crapola beer.

    I’m still boycotting Coca Cola for hating on white people two years ago. It’s not like I’m going to make them go broke, but I’ll be redneck g-damned for giving one more cent to assholes who hate me, and even advertise it and virtue signal at me.

  7. “We never intended…”

    Yes you did, you hired someone who doesn’t know anything about your core clients, and didn’t have sufficient experience and judgment to understand that promoting the womanface minstrel show was probably not a good idea outside the VP’s echo chamber.

    Instead you decided to put out a passive word salad to placate your critics, who aren’t having it…

  8. Yeah he travels and listens to the people that hate his customers.
    Good job!

    Make Pamela Anderson CEO.

  9. Bud Lite needs to celebrate the next Black History month by putting Trudeau in blackface on their cans. Then see what happens.

  10. Sounds contrite and remorseful…

    There are lots of choices in beer and in CEO’s. This isn’t over. The brand has taken a big hit and the proles are gonna make it hurt.

  12. I will watch with interest to see how effective this boycott will be, my guess is not very effective, I am sure the CEO has factored in peoples ignorance of just how many brands Anheuser-Busch owns.
    Take a look here: https://www.labattbrands.com/
    You not only have to boycott Budweiser but also Modelo, Corona, Guiness, Labatts, Kokanee, Alexander Keiths and many others.
    I am going to miss Guiness and the occasional Shock Top and Modelo in summer.

    2. You are right. They are so big, with so many names and brands, hard to figure out.

      Maybe in the end we all just go back to growing our own gardens and making real lemonade, and that works too! Save your money and just reject the system. Raise your kids on making apple juice and raising a back yard goat rather than putting them in front of Disney. Inflation will take care of this. Poverty has a way of introducing realism to the world.

    5. “You not only have to boycott Budweiser but also Modelo, Corona, Guiness, Labatts, Kokanee, Alexander Keiths and many others.”

      I’ve been boycotting mainstream beers for years, including all of AB-InBev’s mainstream Clydesdale piss. And, as, they’ve taken over different craft breweries, I’ve stopped drinking them, too. Some of the takeovers had very good beer, but there are thousands of craft breweries in the US & Canada. I’ve found plenty of others to drink.

      1. Truth is you only have to boycott the King of Beers. If enough people boycott the best selling A-B beer, they will get the message. The problem with boycotts is two-fold. First, boycotts lead to buy-cotts by the opposite side. Second, boycotters give up too easily and the bad guys just wait two weeks and then drive on as if nothing had happened.

        1. Beer is not something everyone buys. Also, the woman-face crowd cannot offset the normals.

      1. Guinness sold out to Big Gay years ago and I stopped drinking it then. There are plenty of other porters and Irish beers that are far superior.

    7. There are now something like ten thousand breweries in the US. Most of them are very small, but there are plenty of other choices. Bud Lite is dead, even if Anheuser Busch isn’t.

  13. “Communities” … AB proudly serves “communities”. Hey Bud! That was your FIRST and only problem. Your job is to serve BEER … not “communities”. And we all know what “communities” means … it means every radical leftist HATE filled identity group du jour. You obviously didn’t give a shit about the “frat community” … so you had horseyface VP kick that “community” to the curb.

    What a pathetic statement

  14. Tranny can of bud light could be a collector’s item.

    Make a nice joke to hand one to a soccer playing poofty beer snob.

  15. You can make decent booze (cider) for about five or six bucks a gallon, after investing fifty or sixty bucks.
    I’ve been doing it for years.

    1. Made dandelion wine last year, just for giggles. Came to about $0.50/litre. Got me tipsy too! My friends called it swamp water, but they drank it.

    2. My wife makes very good mead, but given the price of honey it isn’t cheap.

  16. Doesn’t appear to be an apology at all. To me, it reads like the CEO is doubling-down, arrogantly trying to lecture us what his company is trying to do (bring communities together), and how dare us when we react so negatively towards his sincere efforts.

    We should know better. We are the ones who should come out of our darkness and see what a great brand Bud Light is, and what a fantastic company AB really is. The fact that we don’t see how wonderful his marketing strategy is only proves to him what knuckle-dragging Neanderthals we really are.

    Truly, this POS CEO is one of our Moral And Intellectual Superiors… at least in his mind.

    1. As Sundance pointed out, that statement didn’t mention Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney, or the transgender insanity.

  17. That link to the hidden comments is worth the click.

    Woo-wee! Did they ever get ripped a new one. Some good memes, too.

    1. The meme with the General Lee could make craft beer come out of anybody’s nose.

  18. Why should a consumer be proud of the beer he drinks? That makes no sense to me. But then being proud of your sexuality or skin color doesn’t make sense to me either. Maybe I don’t understand pride.

    1. Pride is what got us into this mess. Lucifer was overly proud and wanted GOD’s throne. Now look where we are.

      1. Lucifer hates humanity because we are his replacements.
        We are here of our own accord, just cause the Devil whispers JUST DO IT doesn’t mean we have to.
        We have free will , we choose what we want.
        And it seems quite a few of us want Hell on Earth, in the flesh.

    2. “Why should a consumer be proud of the beer he drinks? That makes no sense to me. But then being proud of your sexuality or skin color doesn’t make sense to me either. Maybe I don’t understand pride.”

      You’re not alone. It’s always baffled me, too…I thought pride was something you might feel over your accomplishments, not something you have no control over.

  19. Almost want to start drinking again so I can boycott………

    Bringing people together? GET OFF MY LAWN!

  20. “see the “hidden comments“. It’s not clear who is suppressing these…”

    “Hidden replies
    Replies hidden by @AnheuserBusch”

    I guess they have a bunch of in house censors to curate out “hateful content”.

  22. I am seeing anecdotal reports that their sales are way down.
    They also got ratioed badly on a twitter post of TGIF, with most replies being something like ‘That Guy Isn’t Female.’

    Lots of companies go woke and then go broke because they are ignoring the fundamentals, but Dylan Mulvaney is a grifter with an audience of children, instinctively people notice this.

    There is no winning play for Bud Light on this, if they do apologize sufficiently and fire those responsible, the leftists will violently attack anyone handling the product, likely things like delivery drivers, if they don’t apologize and fire people, normal people will change their drinking habits (takes 2 weeks or less). This is an easy boycott that can be amplified easily by directing humour at people who do drink it. Even if you end up with another AB-InBev product, it still sends a message.

    Time to collect the corporate scalps. Watching Budweiser and Disney fall together will send a clear message to other companies, the only winning play is to not play at all.

  23. “Bringing people together over beer”

    Yeah…I can just see the construction workers lining up now for a chance to sit across from a PEDO in a women’s dress.

    1. Well beer on Friday’s, at least here in Ontario, after busting your ass died out almost 20 years ago.
      I’m talking the construction trailer laughs, if you know you know.
      Progs are kill-joys

      1. Kinda understand why buying a vehicle made at a GM plant on a Friday afternoon shift was a NO GO back in those days.

  26. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/budweiser-releases-new-pro-america-ad-iconic-mascot-wake-anheuser-busch-mulvaney-controversy

    Deep impact?
    Heh,
    It’s like the Germans who couldn’t remember the Holocaust immediately after getting their asses kicked.
    Give me Real men of genius for $1000 Alex.
    Scripting: “Real Men of Genious 2023”
    1. Mr. Insincere Beer Company CEO
    2. Transvestite Rapist Guy
    3. Antifa Rock Dilivery Guy
    4. Mr. Fake Ballot Counting Guy
    5. Mr. Metally I’ll Public Office Holding Guy
    They write themselves. It was ingenious, and fun. Back in those days Budweiser was American owned.
    (BTW. They’re memes)
