Bud Light sponsors Cincinnati Pride Parade after Dylan Mulvaney controversy
[NYPOST] Bud Light is one of the brands sponsoring next month’s Cincinnati Pride Parade — the latest in a series of mixed signals the beer giant has given as it grapples with controversy over its Dylan Stench of Death Mulvaney
...the transexual influencer who single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline and Condé Nast, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested...
 partnership.

A glance at the list of sponsors on the event’s website reveals that the Anheuser-Busch brand is lending its name to the annual event, which will be held on June 24.

The image on the page shows a rainbow-colored bottle of Bud Light next to a glass of beer under the heading "Together in Pride."

Bud Light’s sponsorship of the event was first flagged by conservative critics on social media.

The Post has sought comment from Anheuser-Busch as well as from the organizers of the event.

Anheuser-Busch has seen sales of Bud Light plunge for six consecutive weeks.

In order to reignite interest in the brand, Bud Light is offering generous rebates for Memorial Day that in some cases amount to free beer.

#2 Cincy Light is an alternative beer, I think. I remember Little Kings as the Cincinnati brewery back in the day.

#3 Ah yes Super..Little Kings Cream Ale along with Hudepole - "Get Moody with Hude." They even had a hot air balloon with Hudepohl lettering. Local commercial played a version of the 5th Dimension "Up, Up and Away." They changed the lyrics to "Up, Up and away in my Hudepohl balloon" Don't think they dropped any turkeys though..

Wiedemann was also a local brand back in the day

#8 Tennessee Cream Ale cooked on dirty cement and hot dog mustard was the aroma of Cleveland Municipal Stadium in my memory. My best friends dad was partial to Black Label and Balentine. Another neighbor drank Weideman’s. It was cheap and he was convinced that it all came out of the same vat. My dad drank Foster’s Lager because he was the size of Andre the Giant and the cans scaled correctly in his hand.

#11 I wonder what Miller Light thinks about Old Frofingslosh’s babe. I suspect I saw her at Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

#15 Something I find amusing in a sinister way is the nonstop re-iteration in stories of the "marketing executives on leave" or just "executives on leave" as if that's at once the best they can do and maybe a way of saying "we have our hair shirt on, it's time to let up."

How bout some good old fashioned fired for cause?

#16 It is personal leave for a voyage of self discovery where the inner voices instruct them how to search and possibly find their hinter parts with both hands.

#17 ^ The best some of that sort can do is get their head far enough up their Heineken that they can see daylight coming in through their mouths.

#18 Around here, Bud Light is referred to as tranny fluid, and you’re advised to check the expiration date.
