Garth Brooks raised the ire of some country music fans after saying he'd serve "every brand of beer" at his new bar — including Bud Light, which conservatives have criticized for its recent collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Bud Light's collaboration with Mulvaney led to a widespread boycott of the brand and extravagant shows of force against the beer. In one case, MAGA-world favorite Kid Rock filmed himself shooting several cases of the beer to show his disdain for the partnership.
Brooks, the second-best selling musical artist of all time, told Billboard he hoped Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, which is set to open in the South Broadway District of Nashville, would be "the Chick-fil-A of honky-tonks."
"I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another," he said. "And yes, we're going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It's not our decision to make. Our thing is this: if you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you're an asshole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway."
Several bars in the same section of lower Broadway, including Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock n' Roll Steakhouse, removed Bud Light from the menu in early April, but when Insider looked at the steakhouse's website in June, the beer was back on the menu.
Brooks' decision to support the beer has angered some of the country star's conservative audience. The hashtag #boycottgarthbrooks has more than 30,700 views.
"He's making me want to go to Nashville just so I could go ahead and piss on his doorstep," said one TikToker.

From the man who single-handedly destroyed country music.
Have no plans to visit Nashville.
Can I boycott from home like people work from home?
If so count me in for the remote boycott.
After a Google search I think "Blight" beer might be all yours. If so, contratulations.
Mission accomplished.
People are talking about him.
How Fabulous!

Garth is and always was a psycho.
Actually I heard he called the people who were boycotting Bud Light “idiots”. That is why I will boycott his stuff.
Publix grocery still sells Bud Light, but the store owners haven’t called me an idiot for not buying it.
Big difference.
I couldn’t name one Garth brooks song. I wouldn’t recognize one if I heard one. Garth Schmarth.
“Blight”. You win.
“Friends in low places...” but I only like old Honky Tonk, New Grass, and most anything out of Bakersfield... Merle, Dwight, Buck and his crew, even the Flying Burrito Brothers.
Most of that Nashville 80s and 90s crap was weaker than Blight, and run by the suits.
Exactly. Most of us can remember when men exposing themselves to women in public restrooms were the “a**holes”. Apparently you’ve got to put up with being sexually harassed to have “manners” nowadays.
Barf Brooks waded into a problem he should have steered well clear of. What an idiot.
Is THAT what he looks like now? What a dork.
It seems that Nashville hasn’t been about faith, family, and country for a long time — just another liberal cesspool like Hollywood.
“just because you can be an asshole, doesn’t mean you should be.”
Potential for a good bumper sticker or tagline. Or a really cute embroidered sampler.
“order Blight.”
Clever. Good branding. Hope it catches on.
Hey Garth, you can serve any beer you want. If I were you, I would keep the Butt Light inventory very small.
