Is Bud Light About to Have A Bill Gates Moment?

September 7, 2023 Steve MacDonald

They say Bill Gates isn’t into beer, but he is a big fan of social engineering, viruses, farmland, lab-based meat, burying trees, and being a billionaire—oh, and “updates.” So the question of the day is, what inspired a nearly 100 million investment in Bud Light beleaguered Anheuser Busch?

ICYMI – Bikers Bail on BUD – Budweiser’s Sturgis Pavilion is Empty.

November 18, 2024August 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

This year’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally runs from Aug 4th to 13th. Over half a million folks attend this annual event, so it’s a magnet for everything commercial that might appeal to the crowd. Beer appeals, you’d think, and it does, unless it’s Budweiser.

Anheuser-Busch Sells off 8 Brands with the Associated Employees, Breweries, and Brew Pubs

August 10, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Conglomerates upload and offload brands and businesses all the time, but selling is typically only something you do if the price is right or you need to hedge some bad bets. I’m not sure which this is, but post-Bud Man replacement Mulvaney, it looks bad for AB.

August 5, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Bud Light Boycott is celebrating four months of separating #woke from #working class America, and while the initial impact looked impressive, what – if any – have been the long-term effects? It didn’t even make InBev, the parent company, blink, but in the US, AB’s numbers have suffered,

“…Will Not Jump on the Glittery Bandwagon of Trans Activism.”

July 23, 2023 Skip

OK, I hope that partial quote from Patrizia Mirigliani, who runs the Miss Italy beauty pageant, is yet another clue that the Transgender Mafia is losing both steam and has run out of most peoples’ patience with the constant “Do you want a dead son or a live daughter” emotional blackmail schtick. Add to that, … Read more

July 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The now infamous Dylan Mulvaney is the online influencer that influenced millions of consumers to stop buying Bud Light. The brand is still reeling, while gender warrior Mulvaney claims it has resulted in so much hate (with zero support from BUD) that he had to retreat to Peru.

Is Ben & Jerry’s Taking a Bud-Light-Level Beating After Ignorant Independence Day Tweet?

July 8, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Yesterday, I scrabbled together a quick comment on Ben & Jerry’s ignorant indigenous Independence Day tweet, but when I saw Rob Roper’s take, mine went into the digital dustbin. I liked his more, but the fates have since blessed me with news that makes for a great follow-up.

Garth Brooks Says Bud-Light Boycotters Are A**holes

June 16, 2023 Ed Mosca

Country music icon Garth Brooks is opening a new bar in Nashville and he is “shameless” in his support of Bud-Light. Indeed, he says that Bud-Light boycotters are a**holes and that there are plenty of other bars for a**holes. From Breitbart: “Yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not … Read more

As Sales Continue to Nosedive BUD Tries a Guilt Trip

June 8, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Keep in mind this truth. These people didn’t stop drinking beer; they just stopped drinking Bud Light. Market forces continue to work. There are winners and losers, and the Anheuser Busch folks, after slitting their wrists, are looking for a way to stop the bleeding.

May 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Boycott Is Finally Taking a Bite Out of Bud

May 17, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Persistence pays off, or in this case, costs the casually woke or indifferent. Bud is still scrambling to distance itself from an alleged third-party marketing mistake named Mulvaney, as the Wrath of Can begins to impact more than just Bud Light sales.

Anheuser-Busch Is Having The Sads of Their Own Making … Are Still Talking to Dylan Mulvaney?

May 14, 2023 Skip

BUD has been downgraded by HBSC as a hold, and they can’t even give away Bud Light. Their other brands are also tanking, and his tweet shows us why.

Bud Light “Stand” at Crowded Red Sox Game Has No Customers

May 6, 2023 Steve MacDonald

BUD’s stock price is still hanging in there. On March 31st, it was at $66.73, and Friday morning, it was set to open at $65.90 (closed Friday at 64.83). It’s been like that for weeks. Every time it gets near $63.00 per share, there’s a buying spree, and it pops back up, though not to the price before the Muvalney nonsense went wide.

Real Beer vs Bud Light and the Demands of the Authoritarian Human Rights Campaign

May 2, 2023 Skip

Remember, I don’t drink alcohol, but I do think these side-by-side images perfectly summarize what a real female is versus an ersatz one. The Human Rights Campaign, however – the largest and most well-funded LGBT authoritarian group – is warning Anheuser-Busch (maker of Bud Light) not to go wobbly or they will turn their own … Read more

How Long ‘Till FDA Approves Bud Light as Next COVID Booster’cuz White House Ordered 500 Million “Doses”

April 30, 2023April 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

While Anheuser Busch hasn’t felt the Bud Light Boycott in any meaningful “financial way” (yet), the anecdotal evidence that sales of that brand are down continues to pile up. And that shouldn’t upset anyone on any spectrum, after all – as the saying goes – “be you!”

Despite Hyperbolic “Bud-Light-Sales-Are-Down Headlines” BUD Looks Fine…

April 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

If you search any variation of “Bud Light Sales down,” the results will look like a drunk guy peeing in an alley, as in, all over the place. Down 30%, 69%, and 80%. You will find fact-checks by major media outlets whose relationship with the truth is spotty at best. But are they wrong?

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – This Bud’s Not for Me Edition

April 24, 2023 Skip

Update at the bottom and sets up “context” for this sordid Mulvaney marketing fiasco: especially his bankroll and his lust for fame. I am a bit behind on this topic, but it’s clear that the Trans-Authoritarian crowd was having a field day with the rise of Mulvaney and his “365 days of Womanhood” celebration. And … Read more
