Quote HistoryQuoted: A friend and I were discussing the whole BL fiasco and we agreed that it was an abandonment, not a boycott. AB failed to recognize that many of their customers were only customers because of tradition to "America's beer" not because they liked the taste of Bud Light so much. It really is one of the worst tasting light beers on the market. I never was really a huge fan of Bud Light. I was a Bud heavy drinker. I'd keep the BL in the fridge for my buddies. Yuengling Lager and Black and Tan is way better than Bud Heavy. And I am sure I will pay for it at some point as I bet the calories and carbs are higher on Yuengling. |

It really is one of the worst tasting light beers on the market. And that’s true even of people who don’t regularly drink it. I’ve always been PBR or Lone Star, but if places had limited selection and I would usually order a Bud Light. Not great but it had enough turnover to be decently fresh and palatable enough. Just a default option. Same with wanting to bring beer to a party. Just pick up cold case of Bud Light on the way and it’s not great but people usually won’t complain… it’s free beer, drink it. When I would play poker with friends on the weekend, it wasn’t uncommon for us to pitch in together and get several cases of AB products. Just an easy option that was cheap. It is so easy for me to just say “Coors Light” or “Miller Lite” instead, or just grab the case sitting directly next to it on the shelf. And even if I didn’t care… if I’m bringing a case to share, why bring a case some people might not want to drink? Just safer to get a competitor. There is no pressing need or desire to return to buying their products. They were a traditional brand of convenience, but other brands are just as convenient and less potential for conflict now. |

Default option is an excellent way to describe Budweiser's (previous) market share. How bad is it for AB when America's default option is now a Mexican beer? |

I guarantee you they have clauses in their contracts that prevent distributors from suing them. Large investors and institutional investors can definitely sue them for fiduciary irresponsibility.

AB Inbev will still try to manipulate the numbers to keep them from looking as bad as they are, but it's hard to hide billions of dollars of losses over a quarter. |

A-B Promises Financial Assistance to Wholesalers Dear Client: Anheuser-Busch has just shared a memo with wholesalers and partners today (and a 6k filing) promising financial assistance in the wake of the early April Dylan Mulvaney fallout, which has since caused Bud Light sales to contract, and led to layoffs at some wholesalerships. It also vows to protect frontline worker jobs. The … Continue reading "A-B Promises Financial Assistance to Wholesalers" |

Here is what you will get: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/440308/Screenshot_20230616_020841_Chrome_jpg-2853096.JPG That's pride as in proud to do a good job not as in to support a bunch of freaks. Or, how about the pink boots society? https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/440308/Screenshot_20230616_021106_Chrome_jpg-2853097.JPG Mr. Yuengling does have four daughters in the brewing business. Oh, and they're all for reducing their carbon footprint and maintaining sustainability... https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/440308/Screenshot_20230616_021251_Chrome_jpg-2853098.JPG Yep, they're woke as f**k and we should boycott them like the post millennial implies. BULLSHIT!!! This isn't that woke : encouraging 50% of the population to succeed in business and running operations more efficiently, isn't really offensive. Sounds like click-baiters are trying to manufacture some outrage. Almost like there's a funded and motivated disinformation propaganda machine out there. That said, I think the Pink Boots Society, along with any "<insert special class of people> <insert profession> Society" is a bit lame. My only personal experience with members of the Pink Boots Society was remarkably bad. |

I call bullshit on that tweet. It is pure propaganda. Don't believe me? Go to Yuengling's website and see how woke they are.

Maybe they aren't "that woke", but man I cringe every time I see the word "underserved". WTF does that even mean in today's day and age where anyone can literally do/be/have anything they want? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have said pretty much since day one, "Show me the pink slip." Golden parachute or not, termination and repudiation would be far less damaging than this ongoing shit show. So yeah, it's corporate policy. Enjoy the fallout you Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: And people will still be stupid enough to think the 'bitch marketing woman' didn't have full company approval for the Mulvany thing.  That they never fired her speaks volumes to that. Rotten to the core. FAB So yeah, it's corporate policy. Enjoy the fallout you I don't know if firing her would be less damaging. They've pissed off both sides with this. If they fire her the right gets something but they'll still be pissed. The left will get even more pissed at them and the left is way more violent and active when they're pissed. Add that to all the ESG big companies are doing and the apparent leftward stance they have and I don't think they will be better off if they fire her. They lose all around on this. I think they're gambling the right will give up fairly soon. The left won't. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This, but Yuengling should probably not go silent on it. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Muskifest is a big music/entertainment festival that takes place in Bethlehem PA. Yuengling sponsored the festival. The drag show(s) are being put on by a bar/establishment that has absolutely nothing to do with Yuengling. This, but Yuengling should probably not go silent on it. I'm not sure I agree. The event is 2-3 layers removed from Yuengling, and there's nothing they can say about it that won't fuel anger from millions of customers. There's no reason to piss on this electric fence. |

This is one of those times where a company gets caught innocently in a really shitty situation because of gullible/retarded conservatives that don't understand how the world works so they go on a pitchfork tirade against one of their own. Because of bud light, everyone is looking at all of the alternatives, especially the best, with beady little microscopic eyes and saying to themselves "you better not show an inkling of wokeness, I'm in pitchfork mode". You get to a point where people want to be outraged so they burn down their own community over manufactured BS. No different than the left and the Burn Loot Murder movement burning down their own neighborhoods to fight whitey. |

Molson Coors is openly woke as hell, and this thread is full of charts showing they've had a huge increase in sales volume with customers fleeing Bud. Does that make sense? Not really, but people are stupid. I don't think Yuengling should poke this bear unless it becomes a problem. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They are selling out of the beer. Why sponsor anything? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Would be interesting to see if they revoke sponsorship over this. That would speak volumes about where they stand on the issue. Brand promotion, increasing market share, increasing brand recognition. You don’t stop marketing when you’re selling out. You continue to increase your reach and demand for your product. |

It isn't a boycott to get them to change their practices. BL attempted a rebranding that made them gay, and straight beer drinkers don't want to be labeled gay. They abandoned their customer base, so their customers abandoned them. |
