ETA: This Yeungling many speak of, how does it compare to Stella? I’ve never even seen it in liquor stores. Not sure Yeungling distributes in MN. Traditional Yeungling Lager is an excellent macrobrew choice. It’s more of a caramel lager like Sam Adams. Their “Flight” beer competes against Michelob Ultra. They’ve got a Pilsner but I’m not a fan. That said, the Yeungling family stills owns the brewery and are pretty conservative. |

View Quote If the other brands were smart they would offering discounts and promotions to get people to give them a try. With so much competition in the beer market it would be very easy of people to switch permanently. The brands just need to make that happen. |

Quoted: Lol you all will be back to drinking it while watching NFL in less than a year. View Quote I dont know, I drank it not because it was good, but because it was bland and easy to drink when its hot or I'm working. Its a beer you buy out of habit not because its better than anything else. I will get in a habit of buying something else. |

I don't usually post on page 6 of a thread, but for the "Bud Lite bloodbath" I'll make an exception:
Why BUD Does Not Look Especially Attractive Even Without This Ad Campaign Anheuser-Busch InBev is one of the largest beer companies in the world. But it does not look like a very appealing investment, I believe, due to several reasons. First, BUD has not been able to deliver compelling growth in the past: Attached File Over the last five years, revenue is up 5%, or 1% per year. Considering that cumulative inflation has totaled 21% over the same time frame, according to this inflation calculator by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Anheuser-Busch InBev has delivered a substantial revenue decline in real terms. Even before the drastic inflation rates we have seen over the last year that has been the case, as 1% annual revenue growth is not enough to balance out inflation even while it is running at the 2% target rate -- and in the current environment, inflation is way higher. Of course, not all companies are able to push inflation onto customers, but producers of discretionary consumer goods should ideally be able to do so. The fact that BUD has not been able to generate any positive revenue growth in real terms for years, and that its sales are declining when we account for inflation, suggests that the company doesn't have a lot of pricing power. Contrast this with PepsiCo's (PEP) 34% revenue increase over the last five years, which easily beat inflation and which made for a substantial revenue gain in real terms, to see what other consumer staples producers are capable of. Even worse, BUD is not only negatively impacted by a combination of weak pricing power and high inflation rates when it comes to its revenue performance, but also when it comes to its margin performance: Attached File BUD's gross profit has declined by 8% over the last five years in nominal terms, or by around 30% in real terms. During the most recent quarter, BUD has seen its gross margin compress by a hefty 300 basis points on a year-over-year basis. Peer Heineken (OTCQX:HEINY) has seen its gross profit rise by 7% over the last five years, which is significantly better than BUD's performance, but which still represents a decline in real terms, suggesting that the beer industry, overall, is not doing too well in this environment. |

@OliLondonTV In light of the backlash against Bud Light and after now losing over $6 billion in brand value, Anheuser Busch, the brands parent company, is reportedly temporarily halting all marketing efforts to reevaluate the brands advertising strategies. The brand will also in future evaluate all influencer partnership with a more “robust” approach while carefully vetting influencers that enter into paid partnerships with the brand.

If I lost my company $600,000 I’d be fired immediately. Has anyone been fired at Bud?

Drinking PBR out the bottle tonight. I gotta say, to me it tastes better than the AB and coors crap.
don't have access to yuengling so can't compare to the that. ditchking AB is easy for me. My buddy has drunk Budweiser for 20+ and drinks a lot of it. He's done with bud |

20 years if bud lights guess that came to an end. Got some pbr this weekend and liked it better. Miller lites here and there as well.

Just a few years ago, Starbucks was writing on their paper cups little slogans to remind us, the customer, not to be such racist assholes.
"Yeah, I'll take a Venti lecture and an accusation to go." Then, not a few weeks after, they kick some black guys out of a Starbucks just for being black. And got caught doing so. They shut down every outlet for a day for "Diversity and Sensitivity Training" But WE are the racists. And here we are just a few short years later after the boycotts, protests and they are making just as much $$$ as ever. America doesn't have the will to boycott anything. I've said before, Americans have the attention span of a retarded goldfish. |

If I had the poor taste to drink Budweiser I don’t know why a silly marketing campaign would make a difference. I don’t get the controversy. I know some transgender people. It’s a tough life and I won’t hate them for their mental health condition. Many of them have some form of autism. They did not ask to be born that way

This would be the correct approach.
The gym I go to used to play Fox News, CNN and MSNBC on the TV's. Liberals complained about Fox so they now only show home remodeling and cooking channels. Quoted: This or just stay the hell out of it all. Just make what ever your business makes or does (beer in this case) and don't draw your business into these political shit shows. Seems every fucking business and industry now has to pick a side to be on so they can either virtue signal to a fringe or win over customers from another side. How about the business side of things stays out of all of it all. A few manage to do it. View Quote |

Quoted: Unlike the NFL which has no viable pro football competitors, there are a lot of not so woke beers to drink. Dropping the NFL is going cold turkey. Dropping AB is no hardship., no withdrawal.

Pretty sure shorting your own companies stock based on
inside information is illegal and almost guaranteed to get any executives a trip to Club Fed. I don't think the SEC worries about"woke". Quoted: This is exactly correct. People have short attention spans. They'll boycott for a week or two, pat themselves on the back, and then order a Bud Light while saying "we showed them!" For a boycott to really work, it needs to be sustained for upwards of a year AB knows this . . . their short-term, paper-only loss was likely figured in from the beginning. Hell, execs were probably selling short . . . and are now buying back View Quote |

One big difference here is that none of us are demanding she be fired.
I think AB should hold her accountable for her failure, but that is an corporate internal matter that I really don't care about. Quoted: What’s interesting about this event is that we know the name of the marketing exec and her background. Isolating and personalizing the focus of outrage is traditionally a leftist tactic View Quote |
