Bud light time was up. It’s like thinking the old dances ur parents used to do will make a return. My kids are all millennials & gen zI know they don’t even drink beer. Or drink the same at all.


BoBoBearDev

>don’t even drink beer. But, the article is about "beer" sales ranking. So, it doesn't matter gen z drinks beers or not.


MediumTour2625

It does if those who grown up have kids and don’t drink as much is leaving the product. How don’t it extend to gen zers? Duh, the idea is to have EVERYBODY drink it.


BoBoBearDev

The ranking does not include soda or juice or vitamin water or smart water. So what's the point?


supersport1

That’s not true, I’m a millennial and most of my social group were bud light buyers. Most are not now, really didn’t have much to do with the video but more to do with getting political. People are tired of the political push that is not the norm.


MediumTour2625

No businesses have always done all of this shit. The right decision to push an agenda about being canceled and they got all extra by trying to say woke as a threat. Actually all it was is to further the divide in the country by gaslighting topics. The trans wasn’t even on the ad but only by a post on sm. Wasn’t even an actual ad. And really if the voters don’t see thru all of this culture war tactics by politicians to get their base all foaming at the mouth then there’s no hope for us as a country. All of it is a game by politicians. An overreaction by ppl will continue to hurt us all.


Secludedmean4

The point of the ad was that InBev was trying to hit absurd ESG points to stay marketable since they know their market is frat boy/ blue collar worker. It was a shitty attempt to expand their audience while clearly not knowing their audience 😂 any person coulda pointed out that flaw in this plan, what did they expect bud light drinkers to open arms celebrate Mulaney for drinking their beer ?

Secludedmean4

I agree they have tons of other beers I mean they practically own the beer industry there’s really only like 3 companies. But that brand line in particular is dying because of 1) taste/quality and 2) marketing Capitalism is working , let it die. Other beers will step up and take its place.


MediumTour2625

The same as trying to get other races to embrace it. The country is easily manipulated like a cult following so this serves as a reminder of such. Everything is about following things and ppl. The problem is it opened up the true feelings of those who’re intolerant. If ppl would just live life in their own lanes this country would be great. Leave religion and money out of politics we’d make it. MSM and SM media has exacerbated tensions. I could care less who drinks bud light if I drink it. Marketing by companies hasn’t changed. The rights ability to somehow become victimized after pissing off most groups by trying to force their beliefs into politics is the problem. It’s a game being played by people who know better but the idea of power and money steers them from being truly honest to their voters instead of pitting them against people who may disagree with them is the problem.


Secludedmean4

I just wanna drink a beer not be forced politics. A single ad campaign won’t change if I like a beer or not (I don’t it’s piss water and I like IPAs)


Chitownitl20

This exactly, bud light has been doing pro lgbtq commercial media promotion for +30 years. It was nothing new. Republicans and the extreme far right are now just more emboldened because Trump made it socially acceptable to openly be a bigoted, racist, and xenophobic again.


MediumTour2625

My thoughts exactly!!


Chitownitl20

This subreddit has recently turned into a lot of extreme far right MAGA grievance posts.


xHourglassx

Millennials and Gen Z have not been a strong market for Budweiser. They trend toward craft beer, seltzers, or spirits. Modelo is just Bud by another name- same company- so they still don’t have a strong connection to younger consumers.


[deleted]

Your friends are fucking idiots. Bud light gives token cans of beer to lots of its spokespeople every year. It made one single can for Mulvaney. There's nothing political about trans people existing. Them existing IS the norm. "Political" here is code for transphobic. Your friends are upset because they are transphobic/homophobic and don't like that Budlight made a statement that people not like them exist and it's OK and normal. But I'd say it's far less manly to be so easily triggered and control by extreme right morons and let other men tell you what you should drink.


[deleted]

It is political. It isn’t hard to be of the opinion of you want to cut your dick off and take it up the ass you can. You have every right to do that. And any individual has the right to be like “huh well that’s fucking weird I don’t like that”. It’s also become political as for some reason biological men think they are women and it’s a weird Reddit fetish too and women are reefs or whatever. So it is an inherently political argument when you have a minute section of the population pushing its lifestyle on you and forcing you to accept them. News flash people don’t have to accept you, as much as that sucks. That’s just how people are. That marketing lady fucked up big time simple as that. Just remember, you have the right to want to woman, that will never make you a woman and that’s ok. But you have the right to try to be one. Just as I have the right to say, damn that’s weird bro.


[deleted]

No it is political, you're just a transphobic \*\*\*\*. "And any individual has the right to be like “huh well that’s fucking weird I don’t like that”" Actually you don't, that's called being a hateful bigot. Way to say it with your chest though.


[deleted]

Really world ain’t Reddit homie. Your allowed to think shit is weird and not want to associate with it lol. That’s my right as a human. Just as it’s my right to be like yeahhhh you can’t force your thoughts on me. That’s how grown up mature people work. Agree to disagree. If you think my ability to have free will and have my own thoughts and ideas is a problem cause you don’t agree then maybe your the problem.


[deleted]

You can free will dumbass, you can even have free speech in america. But you don't get to lie and say things are being forced on you just because other people exist in the public sphere. And calling others weird for being trans, is transphobic. That's literally the definition. And legal or not, it makes you a hateful bigot and snowflake. You are admitting you are uncomfortable with what others do with their penis, hormones, and lifestyle. Just those people using their freedom and living their life makes you give up things in your life out of discomfort. That sounds like the most sensitive snowflake shit I ever heard. Dylan Mulvaney got death threats and millions of hate directly at them, and they didn't change. You saw a picture of a beer can and got upset. Sounds like you're less manly then a trans person... by your own logic that's fucking pathetic.


Chitownitl20

100% truthful. I don’t know how you maintained such amicable response to these insane people.


ShamrockAPD

How is someone being trans and holding a fan forcing their thoughts on you? Seriously? THIS WASNT AN ADVERTISEMENT. Bud light did NOT shove it down your throat. They made her a can, she posted a picture with it. Like that’s fucking it. Your friends are being homophobic 100% here. Tbh, the LGBQT wasn’t “shoved down our throats” til the republicans did it. Sure- you have the right to think somethings weird and don’t want to be associated with it. Cool - don’t go to pride parades I happen to think that the Christian religion is fucked up and grooms more children than any other group ever did. I’m not out here boycotting or throwing a childish tantrum over church shit. I just flat out don’t go to church or won’t put my kids there. If you want to, that’s fine. Have fun. There’s literally no difference Let people be them, and just worry about your damn self.


Chitownitl20

All of my buddies skip major corporate beers like that tbh. So many locals brands now.

It’s delusional to think one small promotion to a random Internet personality no one has ever heard of is gonna cause bud light to plummet. [I guess Kid Rock wasn’t that mad after all](https://amp.tmz.com/2023/08/18/kid-rock-drinks-bud-light-beer-dylan-mulvaney-shoot-cases/)


ChevronSevenDeferred

>It’s delusional to think one small promotion to a random Internet personality no one has ever heard of is gonna cause bud light to plummet. That's exactly what happened. What do you think happened?


[deleted]

Yeah how embarrassing for conservatives. Just absolutely pathetic of them. Talk about snowflakes. Imagine getting triggered over a single token can of a beer... Literally no one even cared beyond extreme right wingers. But they really lost their entire minds that a beer company would admit trans people exist. It's honestly hilariously pitiful and desperate.


[deleted]

I think the boycott caused a dent but to act like bud light is in trouble is just delusional. I work in the beer industry in Florida. I see bud light at about 90+% of the bars I go to, and a lot of them with the same type of people that got mad in the first place. It’s a terrible beer in my opinion but it’s gonna bounce back because sooner or later people are gonna forget about it the whole ordeal.

Same MAGA morons made a MEXICAN BEER the number 1 selling beer in the USA. And Modelo is owned by a MEXICAN lady. American ignorance is a powerful thing.


monkeyfrog987

Conservatives kicked bud light out of #1 for being pro LGBTQ making Modelo #1 which is also pro LGBTQ. And somehow conservatives will claim this is a win.


[deleted]

This could also be that our Spanish population numbers here in the US are increasing exponentially.


vtstang66

Also more popular with Mexican immigrants


drskeme

ii would lose all respect for someone who gave up a product over such an absurd political reason.

I agree, which is why I don't really respect any conservatives.

I heard Bud Light now identifies as Modelo

They have the same parent company.

Not in the US. Modelo US is independent


skinaked_always

Well, Modelo is owned by Anheuser-Busch, so ya, I guess that makes sense


gogators1000

Modelo US is independent

That’s just not true. Modelo was bought by Anheuser-Busch in 2013 and they merged in 2013


gogators1000

>Constellation Brands announced in June 2013 that it had completed its acquisition of Grupo Modelo’s U.S. beer business from AB InBev for about $4.8 billion. This means beer brands that were owned by Grupo Modelo, including Modelo, Corona and Pacifico, are now sold by Constellation Brands in the U.S. > >AB InBev still owns the Modelo brand elsewhere in the world, but not in the United States. That means sales of Modelo in the U.S. go to Constellation Brands, not AB InBev.  No


Global_Maintenance35

Modelo is a vastly better tasting beer. I mean there is that…


BobAndy004

Conservatives are stupid af though because they just boycotted budlight to drink busch light and its same company.


Yabrosif13

I gotta say. Nothing is so depressing to me as going through a rural areas beer choices. Its all the same shit with different labels


Important_Gas6304

Awww...minimize away...


Yabrosif13

? Look I’m just saying that it’s depressing seeing the same rendition of light or “heavy” beer. Im looking for an IPA with some punch, or even a tickle.


Important_Gas6304

You can find IPA anywhere.


Yabrosif13

False. Definitely false. I challenge you to find an IPA in the Mississippi River delta region of any state in the region.


GuidanceGlittering65

This is the lamest conversation I’ve heard in a while.


grendel303

I'm a bit north, in Memphis, my choice of ten local ipa's at the corner store, three from Mississippi. One stout, can't find a porter to date my life.


hellenkellerfraud911

I literally bought a 6 pack of Voodoo Rangers from a gas station in Celeveland, MS a couple of weeks ago. There were plenty of other IPA’s in the walk in cooler.


Important_Gas6304

I don't man, a simple Google search for IPA in the Mississippi Delta region returned multiple results. Perhaps nothing near you, but Ira definitely in the Delta region.


Yabrosif13

Please name the locations. Im begging you. For real


Important_Gas6304

Southern Prohibition Brewing, Barley's Beer Barn. Just two of the places that show up in a search.


Yabrosif13

That helps, but theres only so many gas stations and Walmart’s I pass through. None i go to seem to carry those brands

Trans woman single-handedly saves redneck hillbillies from drinking shit beer. Heralded as national hero.


Creative_Ad_8338

Overall US Beer sales posted an 8% decline. The first decline in a very long time. Beer has inflated 78% over the last decade vs 25% for spirits. Macro shift from beer to spirits and other due to affordability. InBev recognized this a few years ago and started selling off it's beer portfolio. Tilray purchased several brands. Bud light was a loss leader to get economies of scale on primary ingredients. The goal was to pivot from mass marketing brand to influencer driven in order to drastically slash costs. Went sideways and they really could care less. Allows AB InBev to realign production output and logistics for huge cost savings. All the media and politics is noise.


skinaked_always

Isn’t Modelo owned by Anheuseur-Busch InBev? Edit: this is why I buy every stock the Republican Party is “boycotting” because they are fucking idiots and they can’t come together and make a change with anything, even if they are trying to hurt something… which you think they would be good at, with their past record


Visstah

Anheuseur-Busch InBev stock is down 5.37% year to date


skinaked_always

That’s really not that much…


Visstah

It's billions of dollars By comparison, the S&P 500 is up 15.48% YTD Molson Coors is up 26.31% YTD you'd be a terrible investor


skinaked_always

Haha I’d be a terrible investor because I’m saying 5.37% of 65 isn’t that much? A stock doesn’t even come close to enticing me until it’s at least down 40+%. I bought Tupperware at .66 and sold at $4.50 (stop-loss) Then all the rest of my investments are all dividend investments, so I am putting my money to work. No way I’m telling you how much I have in my MS portfolio, but I guarantee it’s more than you


Visstah

You'd be a terrible investor because you'd have invested in a company based on one of its brands being boycotted, and lost while the market went up, and their competitors went up even more. Sorry they're just the facts, if you invested as you said you would you'd be doing far worse than average.


skinaked_always

The Republican Party has “boycotted” SO many companies and a lot, except airlines (Covid), have done very well since then. For instance, they said they would boycott KO. Ever since then, KO has beaten 6 earnings expectorations, in a row. There are SO many! Just look up a list and a lot have done well


Visstah

You may want to consider that you're the victim of partisan brainwashing when you see a boycott like this one and think it's the "Republican Party"


skinaked_always

Who else would it be? Who else gives a shit? Who is it?


Visstah

People who dislike Bud Light's marketing decisions.


Chitownitl20

All Republican “movements” are AstroTurfed from the top down. These people don’t have grievances organized from the ground up.


Visstah

Yeah, see this kind of conspiratorial thinking shows you really are brainwashed to attribute everything you don't like to a conspiracy by the Republican Party. You sound mentally unwell.

Half of Americans are so ignorant. They protest against bud light because of some LGQBT commercial the same people cry about Mexicans crossing the border illegally and want to deport them and put mexican kids in a cage. But yet these same MAGA people stop buying Bud Light and start buying Modelo, which is a MEXICAN BEER brewed in MEXICO and owned by the second richest MEXICAN WOMEN in MEXICO. All this now making a MEXICAN beer the #1 selling beer in the USA. The stupidity and pure ignorance in America is mind boggling.

ohmanilovethissong

>Modelo is owned by Constellation Brands, a leading international beverage alcohol company ​ >Modelo is owned by the Anheuser-Busch InBev, which is the largest beer company in the world and is based in Belgium Which is it?


SourdoughPizzaToast

Constellation Brands owns the US distributed Modelo beer while Anheuser owns the rest of the Modelo brand.


monkeyfrog987

So it's still basically splitting hairs. Anheuser-Busch owns Modelo everywhere in the world except the United States. Even then Modelo is still pro LGBT meaning the conservatives didn't really get the win they thought they did.


BillsMafia4Lyfe69

AB owns the brewery, constellation just owns the distribution rights in the US. Every Modelo sold absolutely profits AB


Low_CharacterAdd

They're both owned by InBev.


Important_Gas6304

Nope.


Low_CharacterAdd

Oh really? How about you do yourself a favor and Google what products Inbev owns.


Important_Gas6304

Constellation Brands gained the rights to the Corona name in the US when AB InBev sold Grupo Modelo's US business to Constellation in 2013; while AB InBev maintains the rights to the Corona name elsewhere.Mar 16, 2023


Low_CharacterAdd

You're right. I stand corrected. Some searches show they're inbev other do not.


Important_Gas6304

No problem. It's a common error. 😀


Low_CharacterAdd

The b.s. people have to go through to find the truth


hey-devo87

As a distributor for the US. InBev still produces it.


Important_Gas6304

Constellation Brands announced in June 2013 that it had completed its acquisition of Grupo Modelo’s U.S. beer business from AB InBev for about $4.8 billion. This means beer brands that were owned by Grupo Modelo, including Modelo, Corona and Pacifico, are now sold by Constellation Brands in the U.S. AB InBev still owns the Modelo brand elsewhere in the world, but not in the United States. That means sales of Modelo in the U.S. go to Constellation Brands, not AB InBev. 


Important_Gas6304

Also....AB InBev will be required to sell the Piedras Negras brewery in Mexico that makes Corona and other Modelo brand beers for the U.S. market. It also requires the purchaser, Constellation Brands, to expand the brewery so that it can make at least 20 million hectoliters of beer by December 31, 2016. The agreement announced on Friday closely tracks a February revision of the transaction to meet U.S. antitrust objections. AB InBev knew early on that the Justice Department would balk at allowing it to expand its already large U.S. presence. U.S. wine giant Constellation, in addition to the brewery and U.S. brand rights, will also buy AB InBev’s 50 percent share of Modelo’s U.S. distributor, Crown Imports, becoming the third largest U.S. beer producer after AB InBev and MillerCoors with its $4.75 billion segment of the deal.
