Adolphus Busch IV, the great-grandson of the founder of Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser Budweiser beer, yesterday quit the National Rifle Association in outrage at its role in blocking legislation that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers in America.

Meanwhile Dick Yuengling would tell gun grabbers to piss up a rope. You don’t own anything anymore Adolphus. Remember? You sold out to InBev.

Anheuser-Busch family sold out to a FOREIGN Belgian brewer (InBev) about 5 years ago.
Screw you ...

And many people will stop drinking Bub Beer in protest of him protesting the NRA.

When I go out to eat in St. Louis, I usually ask for a Schlafly Pale Ale, saying I like to support local breweries. When they suggest an A-B inBev product, my response is that’s not a local beer.

[Hardraade]

Oh, Adolph. Out of the closet at last.

[skeeter]

I dont think even this will get the hipsters to buy your beer.

Is the CEO of PBR an NRA member?

[Gene Eric]

Oh, but the Superbowl commercials are so moving... /s /puke

Socialist crap beer. Good riddance to another gun grabber.

The Busch family sold A-B to the a French company.

He is probably an employee, but that is it.

A French company.....

Guns and Bud don’t mix. I would boycott them but I haven’t voluntarily drank a Buttwiper beer in over 30 years.

When you’ve said Buttwiper, you’ve said it all.

I see the Michael Jordan perspective is lost on Mr. Busch.

Why willfully antagonize half of your potential customers?

[aomagrat]

There is a reason Bud uses horses in their commercials. That's where the beer comes from.

[Red Badger]

Never was. Can’t stand the stuff. Poor excuse for a beer..........

[Grampa Dave]

Typical third generation trust fund a$$hole.

Bud is a terrible beer and its only use is to kill snails on our back deck by pouring it into saucers.

This should wipe out any future Bud purchases from legal gun owners.

Busch sold out to InBev (Belgian) so I don't think boycotting Bud would mean a thing to this clown now

The Busch family sold out to InBev back in 2008. But I believe that the family still has two seats on InBev's board of directors. So there still is a connection between the family and the beer, although much weaker than before.

:-)!!

[FewsOrange]

I prefer beer.

[YHAOS]

Hey, Adolphus Busch IV, put your beer back in the horse it came from!
