In 2006 when the wife and I were moving, we grabbed a last meal at a local family pub in town as we were leaving.
We had been drinking only craft beers (and no lagers) for years. The only beer they had was Bud & Bud Lite on tap. So we each got a Bud, NOT lite. We both left 3/4 full mugs on the table when we left. Horrible swill.
How Bud Lite could be the largest selling beer, regardless of great marketing, is baffling. I guess Americans will buy crap on a stick if they are wooed with the right marketing .
Ah, you have to jump through rebate hoops for the swill.
How does anybody drink that swill?
Quality over quantity, one good ale vs many bad beers.
I have made it a point to NOT purchase ANY inBev brew (I find it also breaks the monopoly laws) I just happen to have an Independent brewer “Abita” right down the street from me and their Amber Lager is awesome!...But on the way home I had to get Yuengling Bottled as the Amber was gone...WHAT a great back up beer to have to settle for LOL. These Conglomerates who make such HUGE profits think they are untouchable...To associate ones product with a mentally unstable faggot is beyond comprehension. If you choose that lifestyle ...Fine just don’t look for society to uplift and accept your way AND let your genetic line pass with you ...also no adopting kids so as they would think your perversion is normal. IMHO.
I’m a psychic. I can tell you’re from Auburn PA. Am I right?
More like Alissa’d, named after the brilliant marketing executive. They Alissa’d their sales...
In price vs. principles I’ll take principles every time.
They could pay me enough to take their beer. It would have to be in cash, and it would have to be a lot. The beer? I’d find the nearest toxin waste dump and leave it there.
I would not even buy it to pour it out.
So it’s only gotten west of the Mississippi in 3 states. I thought Yuengling would be nationwide by now.
Next week’s Bud promo: We will pay you to drink Bud Light.
Since the beginning of the whole trans debacle in early April, AB stock has dropped 14.6%. During that same period, the Dow is down 3.1%, while the S&P 500 is slightly up at +0.6%.
My guess is that they are worried about declining quality if they increase production too fast. This would seem to be a great opportunity for them to expand their distribution.
they are trying to get people to cart away for free
make them pay to dispose
My guess is that it’s cheaper to give it away to consumers than to buy it back from distributors before it expires and they have to take it back. That’s not a ‘new promotion’ that’s just economics.
I’m from PA.
Beer has always been measured in feet.
When I was a young buck I could walk back 25 - 30 feet of brew before I even started.
Why do you think road side sobriety tests make you walk a line , one foot in front of the other?
Or hold your foot up 6 inches from the ground?
.. yup in my day a shoe full or 2 after work .... a couple of boots on the weekend... not like today with those metro weenie “crocks” and such.
and don't think we didn't down a couple of hip waders once in a while.
.... get off my lawn ...
