Wish I could say that I’m boycotting Bud, but I don’t drink the swill.

there are other (and much better) beers....

I hope the word gets out on this. I don’t drink AB products anyway, but I hope this impacts their sales dramatically.
To: Leaning Right
This Bud is DEFINITELY not for me. Never touch another drop.

That’s fine with me...Budweiser is a fart and belch producer, and pisswater beer, anyway.

“Bud” is the nadir of bottled beer. I never drank camel urine, but my guess is it tastes like “Bud”. The only thing worse is Coor’s which proably tastes like wagered down camel urine.
I HOPE every target-shooting, hunting, second Amendment supporter switches to a real man’s drink like Guiness or a local micro-brewery.

i dunno. we buy things from companies who had ceo’s never being a member of NRA in the first place.
however, by making it a political statement by quitting NRA... that will look bad.
and some people will quit drinking their stuff and treat them worst in comparison to beer companies whose ceo were never a member.

Earth to Mr. Busch: why would you be a member of the NRA if you didn’t agree with the organization’s goals?
Drinking your horse pi** beer must have killed too many of your brain cells.

Used to be a stalwart AB drinker. Gone over to Sam Adams for years now. Wouldn’t go back, esp. not now.

Well, since we are in a culture war to the death, hit him where it hurts - boycott Budweiser. Sometimes boycotts do have an effect; look at JC Pennys.
