More than one-third of small-town bars surveyed in Wyoming are experiencing Bud Light boycotts

A Wyoming news site claims more than a third of the small-town bars they surveyed are experiencing boycotts of Bud Light beer following the company's ad partnership with trans influencer, Dylan Mulvaney.

After finding bars throughout larger Wyoming towns were not experiencing a drop off in Bud Light business, the Cowboy State Daily decided to go deeper and consult 14 bars in small towns.

Their findings showed that out of 12 bars that responded, five had seen changes in the amount of customers buying Bud Light ranging from barely discernible to very severe.

'Two of the 14 declined to comment. Seven of the 12 that commented said they’ve seen no noticeable change in Bud Light sales since the controversy began. The remaining five reported changes from barely discernible to very severe,' the report reads.

It comes as Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch lost a whopping $6billion in market cap in just six days last week in the wake of its partnership with Mulvaney, who promoted the brand by posing with her personalized can of beer in a bathtub on TikTok on April 1.

K Bar Saloon in Powell, Wyoming said that their sales of the Anheuser-Busch owned beer have gone down.

'The beer was once the bar’s top seller and now it’s down to No. 2. Many customers have switched to Coors Light,' read the report.

The Turf Bar in Sundance, Wyoming reported that customers did pivot away from Bud Light, but stayed within the Anheuser-Busch family with their new selections.

'I've noticed a lot of people don't realize Corona and Michelob Ultra are made by Anheuser-Busch,' said one bartender.

The Lucky 5 Lounge in Shoshoni said that 'multiple customers have switched, but Bud Light is still selling.'

That’s all?

[BenLurkin]

Nobody wants to be seen drinking a beer so gay that not even gays want to drink it.

[KarlInOhio]

Seven of the 12 that commented said they’ve seen no noticeable change in Bud Light sales since the controversy began.

Hopefully because no one would drink that urine from a goat hopped up on diuretics even before Bud's marketing disaster.

[Blue Collar Christian]

So 2/3 of Wyoming bars are queer bars?

[martinidon]

I don’t believe this report. I think this is the leftist journalist trying to put a positive spin on this.

[MattMusson]

It’s not a boycott. It’s a change in perception. Bud Light is now Trans Beer.

There’s no coming back from that.

[martinidon]

Let's see how their 2qtr earnings come out. No hiding that with BS from the MSM

[E Pluribus Bellum]

Learn from the left… it isn’t enough to boycott the beer… you have to boycott every establishment that sells it or carries advertisements for it. That’s how you make it really hurt.

“Pick a target, freeze it, polarize it, and personalize it.” Is what they say. Wouldn’t it fun if we picked up their rule book?

[ansel12]

Just breaking the division called Bud Light will still make the point even if the mother corp escapes serious effects.

It is also hard for Bud to replace their top “Light” beer if their flagship light beer is knocked out.

[chuckee]

A legislator introduced a bill in the legislature to prohibit all EVs on their roads by 2035. They are useless in Wyoming winters with a range of 4 feet. May as well now add Bud Light to the list

[joma89]

1/3 is rookie numbers for the Cowboy state.

[Taxman]

Only “one third?”

I’d expect a 100% boycott!

Are there that many transvestites and poofters in Wyoming?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow, that’s an amazing list. Fortunately, there are only a couple on there that I occasionally (really, rarely) drink - St. Pauli Girl, Löwenbräu, Shock Top.

[Vigilanteman]

12 bars in Wyoming is a pretty small sample size.

[gibsonguy]

BS it’s higher than 33% especially in Wyoming.

[sphinx]

No, they only surveyed gay bars, and one third of those had boycotts. Not all gay people are insane.

[thinden]

I heard a guy from NYC call in to hannity’s radio show last week & he said he and his crew would go bar hopping every couple days & when the bartender would ask them what they wanted they would ask:
“Do you serve bud light?”

If the bartender said “yes”

They would say: “we gotta go then” (where everyone around them could hear it) & then walk out the door & try some place else.
