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.”

Haha! 👍
I might agree.....but I have never tasted skunk piss.
Yum! Will have to try that.
For sale or not, you admit to producing it.
Yuengling is the beer I buy. Oldest brewery in America owned by the same conservative family.
And it has nothing to do with bud light transitioning to a eunuch beer. They always sucked.
I wish I had some stinkin “Bud Light in the loafers” to pour down my toilet. But I don’t buy piss.
LOL, Perfect!
Will and when will they stop serving it at racing and sporting events?
I live in redneck country in kentucky. My property has one half mile of frontage and every now and then I go out there and pick up all the aluminum cans that people throw out of their windows. By far the most common brand is Bud light. I think I’m going to see a change.
Authentically? Passion point? WTF???
That truly reads like a parody of itself.
Ambiguous boilerplate explaining (?) an ambiguous human who is "authentically" connecting ambiguous audiences with an ambiguous beer-like product produced by an ambiguous conglomerate based in a ambiguous nation.
Ambiguously.
Anecdotal- Just returned from the grocery store where there were stacks of cases of Bud and Bud light, but not much Coors light or Miller light remaining.

Yeah, I know. Sad that many others still don’t see that fact.
Bud - the beer that has already gone through the horse. Pacifico has always been my hot weather beer.
Add Modela and Heineken
A friend of mine got sprayed in the face by a skunk when he was letting it out of a box trap. I’ll ask him how it tasted.
Good list.
I don’t see Irish Death on it, so I am good.
