After rolling out a Bud Light ad campaign featuring flamboyant transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney – whose ditzy caricature of a woman mocks decades of actual progress by feminists (who have apparently been wokeshamed into silence), Anheuser-Busch’s damage control team kicked into action on Friday after the Mulvaney ad sparked a massive backlash.
“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” said Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Brendan Whitworth in a carefully crafted, heavily focus-grouped press release which failed to mention Mulvaney, Bud Light, or transgender issues. “We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
“I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others,” the statement continued. “Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation.”
Translation: Let’s all forget about this over a beer.
The company then went with a ‘hey fellow beer drinkers’ ad campaign, tweeting “TGIF” along with a picture of a Bud Light can. It was received about as well as one would imagine… with a massive ratio of people commenting vs. ‘liking’ it.
The campaign was mocked mercilessly.

Brand Damage
Some analysts and investors said that the damage likely won’t sink Anheuser-Busch, but the damage has been done to the Bud Light brand.
“I simply don’t understand why they hired the person who was doing the marketing,” Oxygen Financial CEO Ted Jenkin told Fox News Thursday. “I mean, if your target customer is Kid Rock, and then all of a sudden you decide to go to RuPaul, that just doesn’t make any sense at all.”
Because Bud Light generally targets “blue-collar workers and younger adults that are 25 to 29 years old,” the campaign should be problematic for the firm. “So, I don’t think that this one campaign is going to colossally destroy the brand,” it said.
“But certainly short term, it puts doubt into their loyal drinkers of Bud Light to say, ‘Do I want to continue to be drinking Bud Light based upon who they’re showing representing Bud Light?’” he asked. “Anytime a company puts on a national spokesperson that has backlash, it certainly can affect your business.”
A research fellow with the National Center for Public Policy Research wrote this week that Anheuser-Busch is owned by InBev, a multinational conglomerate worth tens of billions of dollars. One product, he wrote, won’t do a huge amount of damage to the brand or value.
“But that seems like a plausible result. The Venn diagram of people interested in drinking Bud Light and those eager to support the issue at the sharp edge of the wokist culture war is pretty much just two circles vaguely near one another,” Shepard wrote. “While InBev investors won’t suffer too much, distributors of AB products and others who do business with the company surely will.”
Shepard further stipulated in the article that the “bottom-line effects of wokeness are clearer at other American companies that have abandoned fiduciary duty for politics,” referring to large corporations’ having adopted left-wing talking points and narratives around race and sex.

This sorta suggest that if the lips are moving….well you know how it goes. Hang hard on the boycott and lets see what happens to this woke joke.
Agreed, an effortless boycott on my part though I am a beer drinker. Never cared for chudswiller, tried chud lite in the late 70s, it sucked too! Same for pukeaload, never cared for any AB products!
Now that they are owned by inbev? a lot of other brands to avoid!
Helpful hint, Mexicans make some fantastic beers, German immigrants taught them how! No, I’m not speaking of corona or tecate, try harder!
Peace, L.
Not Carta Blanca either. In 2002 Carta Blanca was tasty enough in Boquillas , Mexico. Don’t know who brews it now but I tossed some in recent years like I did Billy Beer.
One thing funny about the 2002 visit to Boquillas was the fed had not yet closed that harmless river crossing but soon did. The locals in Boquillas crossed the river by foot and walked to Rio Grande Village RV camp and grocery on the Texas side in Big Bend NP where they bought 12 packs of none other than Bud Light. I thought it funny because at the time Carta Blanca beat the heck out of Bud Light not that Bud Light ever ranked anyway.
Budweiser is originally a Czech beer. Budweis is a German version of České Budějovice, name of the city where the brewery is. They started in 1895. There was a lawsuit quite a time ago. The Czech managed to keep the brand name for themselves in their country, but nothing more.
I think the Danes make the be “big brewery” beer myself. But Mexican Pacifico is (unless it has changed haven’t had one in a while) the heaviest glass beer bottle I had ever seen. Great if you are drinking in a dive bar and have to break the bottle to defend yourself!
Still I would rather stick to local craft beers. We have a brew pub in the city I live that makes the absolute best amber beer I have ever drank.
many of the ‘craft beers’ have already been bought out by the big brewers to limit competition. They kept the name branding but they own it.
Devil’s Backbone from Virginia is a perfect example. The original owner and brewmaster of an excellent Vienna lager sold out his legacy to the commercials.
Beer is simply barley/wheat, water, hops, and yeast.
The Mexicans brewers are using the same ingredients and same process as German brewers. German lager yeast, along with noble Saaz or Tettnanger hops will produce a “German” style Mexican lager – if done correctly.
American commercial beers suffer flavor issues for a couple reasons. They speed the fermentation process and add fermentables like rice. Rice is doesn’t supply the same flavors, color, or nutrients as a 100% barley malt might.
Unhealthy yeast will produce off-flavors, aromas, and less ethyl alcohol while yielding undesirable, heavier fusel alcohols.
US light beer isn’t properly hopped because the brewing process doesn’t use “real” hops, it uses chemical byproducts. Real hops are more expensive and will help the shelf life of any beer as hops are a natural anti-bacterial preservative.
Have you ever seen the show “Moonshiners” and wonder why they shake the clear, distilled mash runs in an uncolored glass Mason jar? They are looking for oily, roiling fusel alcohol impurities that show up as visible distortions in the ‘finished shine.
The list is long, y’all.
Read up and hit ’em in the wallet, the only thing they understand.
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (Dutch pronunciation, abbreviated as AB InBev) is the largest beer company in the world.
It had 200 brands prior to the merger with SABMiller on October 10, 2016.
The combined ABInBev/SAB Miller entity has approximately 400 beer brands as of January 2017.

I doubt any of you pussies. Could handle it
Downvote for being insulting.
Before you call anyone a pussy, try Delirium Tremens or some Dragon’s Milk stout, hero.
Make it a happy chore and boycott InBev products. Purchase local or make yer own.
You’ll know that they pissed into yer gob if the pervert ads aren’t already pulled.
Uncle Sam will reimburse AB for lost revenue they probably use this shit for market research they don’t care about sales loss
“Too Woke to go Broke” should be the new get out of debt free card.
Never cared for Bud, light or otherwise, especially after I was stationed in Germany for 3 years. When I came back to the States, I couldn’t drink that macro-brewed American piss ever again.
I’m still forever boycotting Gillette for their ads from a few years ago (and I’ll never use their products again, either).
I’m not waiting for AB to apologize, I’m waiting for AB to go belly up for eternity. Nobody should be buying IT ( Bud Light in the loafers) because they rammed commie freak tranny crap down everyone’s throat and IT IS GETTING REALLY OLD. What woke commie corporation wants to go next?? Anyone, anyone…….Bueller……anyone. That’s what I thought.
rice doesn’t make beer. period.
Please give us the gift of a short lesson, kinda of an outline of how to make good beer at home. Surely, I am not the only one who is interested. Already suspect that I can make better beer for less money at home.
If it was that hard to make beer, it would not have been able to be mass-produced.
All you need are the following: brewer’s yeast, water, sugar, malt/barley/hops, a container (such as a bucket) and an airlock (or “bubbler”) for a stopper.
My dad used to make home brew, and he taught me how to do it. Try buying a brew kit online, that’s a good starting point, plus they have detailed instructions on brewing many different beers.
I can brew a dark lager that will make quicksand out of your knees.
Ditto here, I can make a lighter-colored ale or lagerbier that would shame anything you’d ever find in a store.
Brewing is like cooking. It’s all about the ingredients and the process. The yeast does most of the work, but a good brewer knows his process.
Start with a good barley;sprout it to the perfect point and then heat it to dry, slowly. Grind it coarse then add hard water and boil; strain and add hallertauer hops for a short soak. Strain, add good quality yeast in a semi-closed container like you do wine. When the yeast stops working, filter then bottle with a little added sugar. Voila.
IMO corn does not either. Lots of that crap used in beer anymore. How about an IPA haze brewed locally with Cascadian hops on tap at a bar in Newport, OR.
Tex- AB uses grain cured with a final spray of glysophate right before harvest. This causes Low-T and causes gender confusion like the trans on the (Bud Light in the loafers) can. Commercial beers are a disgusting chemical nightmare of unholy swill.
I’m always looking for scientific facts. Thanks.
Now, while my pecker has not inverted from past years of possibly having some Bud Light “free” more than likely having drank “free” Coors at Texas political fund raising barbeques etc. , I don’t think I drank any Bud Light at the George Bush Library “ribbon cutting” in Dallas back then. I don’t recall all the details other than it was a suit and tie affair and the dinner was anything but Cowboy Beans. And who would drink Bud Light even if it was served at such an event? What, with nothing but top notch liquor? They may have had Pearl but I don’t think so. Maybe Lone Star, being Texas, nah, tea sippers don’t drink that.
Here is my question if not a “concern”. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I’m off beer now but I have drank some of those things in a bottle in my lifetime since discovering the “grapefruit” flavor of hoppy beer is what beer is about…hops, especially Cascadian. I read somewhere opinion the colors on Pale Ale bottles and six pack holders were gay! I know its brewed in Chico and maybe Chicago! Dang. Should I never touch another?
Saki is nice from rice
Miles: These Mays may link us to British Prime Minister Theresa May. We have already seen
the family has peerage ties, so it is probably through his mother he is related to van Ness and
the rest. Theresa May is a May through her husband, Sir Philip May, a banker named in the
Panama Papers. The May barons come out of Prudential Assurance in the late 1800s,
marrying the Strausses and Flemings. Jewish. The third married a Shipton. We also find
possible peerage links for the Mulvaneys. See John Skipton Mulvaney, who married a Burke,
daughter of Anne Smith. We have been looking at these Smiths this week, haven’t we, so
this is all coming together beautifully, as usual. Anne Smith’s father is James Smith of Yarrow
House, Yorkshire, West Riding, so these are indeed the same Smiths, related to the bankers
of Nottingham. And where did we see that? In my paper on Charles Bronson and the Krays,
where we saw the Smiths of Nottingham and the West Riding 29 times in a short paper. And
we can make another crosslink: In that section on the Krays, we saw they were related to the
Viscounts Wentworth through the Noels. Well, in my even more recent paper on the Farrells
yesterday, we saw Colin Farrell is related to the Wentworths through the Tyrrells. So these
Smiths link up all three of these papers, making cousins out of the Krays, Farrells, AND
Mulvaneys. How’s that for some confluence of research? Plus, I guess you just caught
another link above: John Skipton Mulvaney and the Shiptons, in-laws of the Mays. Is that a
coincidence? No, because the name has been fudged. It should be John Shipton Mulvaney.
There have been no Skiptons in the peerage since the 1600s, when they changed it to
Shipton. I guess you see what that means: Dylan Mulvaneys parents are cousins. The two
families have been marrying for centuries.

Dylan Mulvaney: Spookgender
by Sprankles
”
Dylan Mulvaney joins the ranks of such household names as Kaitlyn Jenner and Lia Thomas, bravely going where no man has gone before, namely the women’s restroom. If you have been spared knowledge of his existence, then buckle up for some first rate gay spookery. He is yet another episode in the hit series ‘Gender Swapped Spook’, but this time they’ve pulled out all the stops, and the casting budget is quite high. Going forward, I would like to refer to this type of operative as a ‘spookgender’. The spookgender is one who engages in the sort of cross-dressing, gender-confusing activity which the media of both sides are obsessed with. They send common English through a meat grinder in the hopes that you will be sufficiently confused by their vapid babbling to either give up or become incensed. Time and time again, we are expected to treat these people as if their renown is a natural outgrowth of public sympathy and attention.
The script is as follows…
Dylan Mulvaney is 26 years old and graduated with a BA in Musical Theater from University of Cincinnati shortly before joining the cast of an award winning Broadway musical ‘Book of Mormon’. Aka the Broadway musical Philosemitic. Losing his job during pandemic shutdowns, he turned to the app TikTok as a creative outlet. In 2022 he comes out as transgender, and then grows his online presence by documenting this awakening in a series called ‘Days of Girlhood’. In it, he counts each day of transition, charting a course from the port of Man to WomanTM.
The first and easiest red flags show up in the timeline we are given. Graduating in 2019, he promptly jumps onboard one of the highest grossing Broadway musicals that same July. I’m
sure most students fresh out of college leapfrog into such lucrative opportunities, justifying the exorbitant cost of tuition.
“When the pandemic hit, I was doing the Broadway musical Book of Mormon. I found myself jobless and without the creative means to do what I loved. I downloaded TikTok, assuming it was a kids’ app. Once I came out as a woman, I made this “day one of being a girl” comedic video. And it blew up. I really don’t know another place online like TikTok that can make a creator grow at the rate that it does.” Other than Langley.
Bit of a weird way to put that: you’re an unemployed, bored, hyper-gay man and you download an app that you think is for kids? Perhaps a reveal of his target audience or a personal fetish.”
What is the real message behind all of this faggotism? It is making a mockery of the creator; As if somehow he made a mistake and put the wrong soul into the wrong body. That I believe what this is for. I give no support to any company in this regard. I also boycott forever any company that pushed the injections. Not that my position will make any difference to anyone but me. I live a principled life.
I think it may be a meaningless distraction , something to keep worker bees busy arguing about. Same applies to every other ridiculous “new normal ” bullshit they pull out. A simple distraction and divide technique.
Romans Chapter 1.
What’s with the commercial with the ugly mustached girl dancing in the yellow uniform?
Is that there to make perversion more palatable?⁷
Is it really a girl? Seen many people that you couldn’t tell and had to inquire of someone: is that a girl or boy? ‘It’ could swing both ways as far as looks go. Girl who wants a mustache (why?) looking at pics of guys with mustaches or effeminate boy looking at pics of guys with mustaches then dons a skirt?
C.I.A.? Clearly Insane Agenda.
Insane? But another variant of EVIL.
Our voices are ignored, our votes are offset by millions of fraudulent ones. The one thing we can do is to not spend our money on their products.
It’s that simple. If you’re offended by what these trans freaks have done and what they are doing, to the children, women’s sports and our society never ever buy an AB product ever again. Never even take another sip of that vile swill.
It used to be called voting with your pocketbook. I am a firm believer in it.
Exactly. Remember when Schlitz came out with an ad campaign that basically said drink Schlitz or get punched in the face? People were so offended that they stopped buying the beer, Schlitz went from being the number one brand of beer in the US to basically a small niche regional brand owned by PBR.
And that ad campaign wasn’t anywhere close to being as offensive as the Bud light tran on a can ad campaign.
Don’t recall the add but in late 60’s in Texas underage drinkers would fight over which beer was better, Budweiser or Schlitz. I preferred Schlitz and at the time I thought it ok. It was not worth fighting about though. There was one idiot whose last name was Wiseman and he drank Budweiser. I’d just watched the fights and drink my Schlitz.
But here are some brands you might not have known are owned by Anheuser-Busch:
The Michelob brands; Natural Light and Natty Daddy; Cass; Castle; Corona; Harbin; Estrella Jalisco; Aguila; Beck’s; Stella Artois; Jupiler; Kona; Leffe; Landshark Lager; Modelo; Presidente; Hoegaarden;
Labatt; Hurricane; Rolling Rock; Skol; Johnny Appleseed; Shock Top; and Quilmes.
Other brands that partner with Anheuser-Busch include:
10 Barrel Brewing; Appalachian Mountain; Blue Point; Breckenridge Brewery; Cisco Brewers; Devils Backbone; Elysian; Four Peaks; Golden Road; Goose Island; Karbach Brewing; Omission Balanced Brewing; Platform Beer Company; Red Hook; Square Mile Cider Company; Veza Sur Brewing; Nirture Cider; Wicked Weed Brewing; Widmer Brothers Brewing;Wynwood Brewing; Hi Ball Energy; Babe; Nutrl; Cutwater Spirits; and Rita’s.
In total, here are the 13 brands currently helping turn Mulvaney into a multi-millionaire social media superstar:
Aritzia
CeraVe
Crest
Haus Labs
Instacart
K18 Hair
Kate Spade
KIND Snacks
KitchenAid
Ole Henriksen
Rent the Runway
Ulta Beauty
Nike
Anheuser-Busch
Threads pass. Dern. How about Arrogant Bastard? I tried it once in a 24oz bottle and personally thought it over rated. I guess with the name peeps try it anyway so the brewer whomever figures enough try it that it matters not anyone drinks it regularly. May be some Arrogant Bastards so no offense. I just tried it once.
Dylan kills a brand, plus:
Auntie loves this smart and sassy lady’s perspectives.
Nike embraced the America hating Colon and were rewarded with increased sales. I doubt we will see the same thing for Butt Light.
What author fails to mention is that our little woke marketing man hater is STILL employed. So how is it that someone that destroyed a massively huge brand did what she did without management approval WITHOUT then losing her woke job? Methinks that In Bev is In Bed with Woke.
Tr4head’s comment is most important. If someone sucks 5 billion in market cap from your company, they should not be working. These perverts are destroying companies. They live and thrive in the non-value-added parts of the business. They are what we call “Underhead.,” aka pure non-value-added middle management. Senior management is supposed to seek and eliminate Underhead. All the venom that is focused on AB is well-deserved, and I have not heard of anyone being fired. However, the customer has spoken.
“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
I mean that’s not an apology in the classic sense of the word, a regretful acknowledgement of an offense or a failure.
It’s more of a sorry you ignorant hicks didn’t get a raging hard-on watching our ultra-hip transophilia themed promotion
Whatever.
It’s been a very long time since business in America has been about the customers. And money doesn’t seem to be much of concern for them since most of their capitalization comes in the form of incentivized investments from shadowy organizations like Black Rock, who are probably just a front for whatever or whoever controls this Earthly realm.
Turdles all the way down.
” just a front for whatever or whoever controls this Earthly realm.
Whomever?
Seriously, there is far too much lockstep across the full spectrum of governmental, corporate and NGO behavior to allow for the possibility of non-causality. There is some kind of top down centralization running things but it is not transparent.
The longer I loo at it the less sure I am that we are dealing with a purely human source. Whether that indicates an old school Satan-style origin, a Matrix or a Jungian collective consciousness, I wouldn’t hazard a guess, but it certainly indicates a singularity that is impossible to discount.
“Whomever?” Please. Exposed ta MANY ‘New Words’, courtesy of You. Thank You.

Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”

I’ve got this crazy idea that this is a purposeful destruction of large corporations, why I do not know other than picking the winners and losers in the new world order. Just whittling down choices maybe. I mean 18,000 dairy cows in one blast last week alone, the ripple effect of not only the cows but the lost grain sales, the trucking for carrying that grain, on down the line.

Hard ta tell if he/him passed with a smile on his face, looked more like a Pig on a spit. mayhap he shoulda used Bamboo?”
Personally I don’t believe the boycott will stick and here is one reason why. Yesterday I stopped by some older friends, one 82 , and first thing I said as one sat drinking Bud Light was “ya’ll still drinking that. What about that tranny deal?” No one said anything as I noticed a 20 gal mesh trash can completely full of empty Bud Light cans.
These are not people that sit on their asses all day drinking beer. They have huge gardens and work dawn to dusk farming, cutting firewood , you name it, no laziness there. I happened by as they were taking a break. Now the man that owns the property flew a Trump 2020 flag until it shredded to pieces. Guess I cannot relate Bud Light to Trump support that is “supposed” to be “conservative”.
I don’t think they could give Bud away right now. Maybe if they paid people to take the Bud off their hands?
Translation: “I want to keep my job.”
