“Bud Light ight losing millions of billions is irrelevant if everyone switches to one of the other 400 brands the company owns.”

Thanks for listing the company’s other beer brands. This reality needs to posted everywhere. It’s Anheiser Bushe in general that needs to be boycotted.”

It appears that the Bud Light drinkers are moving to Coors Light and Miller Lite, based on parallel increases to their sales as Bud Light sales decline. The Miller-Coors firm is as left wing as Anheuser Busch. However, the point has been made: do not anger your customer base. There is a parallel to the New Coke debacle of the 1980s. Contempt for your market and their preferences is a formula for disaster.

Here’s just a few of the Anheuser-Busch brands but InBev which owns Anheuser-Busch has over 400 brands they own:

The Michelob brands; Natural Light and Natty Daddy; Cass; Castle; Corona; Harbin; Estrella Jalisco; Aguila; Beck’s; Stella Artois; Jupiler; Kona; Leffe; Landshark Lager; Modelo; Presidente; Hoegaarden; Labatt; Hurricane; Rolling Rock; Skol; Johnny Appleseed; Shock Top; and Quilmes; 10 Barrel Brewing; Appalachian Mountain; Blue Point; Breckenridge Brewery; Cisco Brewers; Devils Backbone; Elysian; Four Peaks; Golden Road; Goose Island; Karbach Brewing; Omission Balanced Brewing; Platform Beer Company; Red Hook; Square Mile Cider Company; Veza Sur Brewing; Nirture Cider; Wicked Weed Brewing; Widmer Brothers Brewing; Wynwood Brewing; Hi Ball Energy; Babe; Nutrl; Cutwater Spirits; and Ritas.
