"Nobody imagined it would go on this long," Schuhmacher said. He continued: "It seems random — it struck a nerve. I've never seen anything to compare it to, in all of the [consumer packaged goods] industry. It’s a real shock."

This was a common, everyday run-of-the-mill beer that no one had a deep attachment to and that is always surrounded at the store with other common, everyday beers, easy to switch and no reason to return.

They have driven away a large portion of their base and can’t regain those losses, they broke their brand.

"There are no American companies anymore."

How about Yuengling Beer. America's Oldest Brewery. I never heard of it until the Butt Light controversy. I tried the Yuengling Dark (read: Black) and love it. It is definitely my brand of beer from now on.

NBC is very careful to refer to Mulvaney as she and her. It’s not clear if they fear for their ESG score or the domestic terrorists they support.

It is everyday beer drinkers. Don’t mess with it.

They did.

I could be wrong, but if one wants to be successful in business, they need to provide a product people want. Being this out of touch with their consumers means maybe they shouldn’t be...just like our goobermint.

Schlitz Beer sales just surpassed Bud Light in The Loafers. Give me a Schlitz anytime instead of Butt Light, unless Schlitz goes woke of course.

We (majority, I am sure) have been sick of this sickness for more than a decade (more like decades).. maybe it may actually mean something this time (we can hope).

I noticed almost 2 decades ago that the presenters had forgotten their basic language courses when their sentences started with- John Doe, he...Jane Doe, she.... Clintons and China are heavily implicated, along with the Bushes. Thank the bleeding heart liberals that don’t know there are things to keep out of one’s kingdom...kind of like God does. People talk about WWIII and I’m not convinced II actually ended. It certainly didn’t the way we thought.

The thing is Bud isn’t even good beer, many just drink it out of habit.

All it took was ticking off the majority of you customers to encourage them to try another beer and sense nearly any beer is better, you have probably lost them for ever.

Great going bud!

"Nobody imagined it would go on this long,"

That is because you lived in an echo-chamber, thinking that the world outside your bubble is going along with this trans crap.

I don’t think normal people will ever get used to circus freaks being constantly shoved in their faces and their childrens’.

I drank that in High School. The town bar/pool hall had it on tap. Keeping us in one place with 3.2 beer tended to keep us out of trouble. We never saw the police around it, but when the fire station alarm went off, a whole bunch of people ran a block to the truck. LOL. Lots to love about small towns, and years of (self) therapy for the rest.

Once you spit on customers, what the heck makes you think they’ll come back?

- - - - - - -

They will come back if there are no alternatives. There are many alternatives.
