Anheuser-Busch defended its decision to enlist trans activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney as a Bud Light brand influencer Monday in the face of growing backlash from critics.
In the Instagram footage, the content creator is dressed like Audrey Hepburn’s character in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” as she cracks open a Bud Light can and takes a sip.
“This month I celebrated my 365 days of womanhood and Bud Light sent me possibly the best gift ever — a can with my face on it,”
Another video featured the activist drinking a can in her bathtub as part of the campaign.
“Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points,” a spokesperson for the company told Fox News. “From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”
Several conservatives shared their apparent anger over the partnership on Twitter.
“Is the Bud Light thing an April Fool’s joke?” conservative radio host Erick Erickson tweeted. “I mean it is trash beer, but given the constituent demo of Bud Light drinkers, it seems like a terrible marketing thing.”

I would call and say “I think there may be sperm in my beer”. From a gay dude who could have AIDS.
Hahaha! Good one
Do they still add Arsenic as a flavor additive for this beer?
I generally will drink Coors Light for normal occasions. It’s nothing fancy, but it does the job.
Sam Adam’s went woke. Yuengling is pretty good.
“ I always thought Budwiser tasted like skunk piss.”
You must have a fun crazy story about how you know what skunk piss tastes like
Are they going to give it a “Real American Heroes” diddy for taking “One for Team Bud?”
Yea, I really like Yuengling black and tan. It’s like Guinness but lighter..
It reminds me of Moose Drool I used to drink in Fairbanks. A lighter version (as in not as stout) of Guinness..
We expect better from people who sell alcohol?
