Anheuser-Busch InBev is controlled by Belgian families Vandamme, de Mévius and de Spoelberch, who as of 2015 owned a combined 28.6% of the company, and Brazilian investors Jorge Paulo Lemann, Carlos Alberto Sicupira and Marcel Telles, who owned 22.7% through their private investment firm 3G Capital.

In short, they're trying to reach new, younger customers with wokism. If they lose old guys, they don't care.

And since Bud Light is effectively majority-owned by families, they're as immune to outside pressures as is Twitter.

We will crush them. Money is money and cratering sales means something. Now take off your dress, put on some pants, and try to act like a man.

I will not buy anything from Anheiser-Busch again if I know it’s their product. Just ask all those other companies that have gone woke to see how it has worked for them.

Disney is pulling the same stunts.

It’s all lies though - they think they’re reaching the “new generation” when it’s only a subset of a subset of mind controlled nimrods.

“The world’s most effective marketer” has influence over 1% of the global market. Thus, the name “most effective” is empty.

They want to see any volume decreases right now, as they see demand from their distributors replenishing their stock it is the distributors who will see the volumes decrease first and then later on it’ll be the manufacturer or bottler.

Let’s check back in a month and see what the results are after the stock at the distributors is replenished. It takes a while for all this to fully shake out in the marketplace.

“If they lose old guys, they don’t care.”

Happy to accommodate them, but I don’t drink their pizz water.

Let them have their fag boyz that drink 2 a day.

these scumbags don’t GAS about their consumers — in fact, they’re mocking the consumers — typical corporate Wokism abuse.

Do not capitulate

The company says its at-home beer tap PerfectDraft now has more machines in homes than there are pubs and bars in the UK and France.

Inbev doing its part to kill the English pub as a local institution. This is saddening.

Budweiser ... The Queen of Beers.

When you say Budweiser.....you’ve said it, doll!

How far they have fallen.

Bring back the Clydesdales...and, American ownership.

Ok. We'll see how 2023 goes.

You won't see a nickel from me, that's for sure.
