Merchandiser Claims No One is Buying Anheuser-Busch Products (VIDEO)
2023-04-10
[Gateway] In a video that is going viral on Twitter, a merchandiser and Anheuser-Busch affiliate claims that no one is buying the products and his business is suffering as a result.

In the video he says he has never seen so little sales as in the last few days. He laments the fact that when people don’t buy the beer, he doesn’t make money and can’t feed his family.

It’s sad that this man is going through this, but it’s the fault of Anheuser-Busch for featuring trans performer Dylan Mulvaney.

#16  We had one of their breweries in Syracuse NY. Rice beer sticks, the plant smell was unlike any other brewery to the point of disgust.

Which surprised me.

#15  The alienation of the elites from the rest of us is not going to end well.

For either group.

#14  Sure, it's no longer an American beer company, and that's not news. What's important to note here is that those in charge - those that should have known better - who are supposedly American citizens, came up with and instituted this abomination. The barbarians are in the wire - ignore those that are dancing around the perimeter.

#12  Anheuser-Busch is no longer an american beer company. It's part of Global Conglomerate

This may be where AB is insulated from market realities. Everyone who isn't buying Bud Light is buying something else, so the Conglomerate may not see much impact at all. Sales just go to its other brands.

#11  Anheuser-Busch is no longer an american beer company. It's part of Global Conglomerate which has lost touch with the American shitty rice beer Market which could care less about inclusivity. If Budweiser wants to be the Pride Beer, good luck! \

Every time I see one of my redneck friends drinking a Bud, I ask if he is starting his transition. Ha! Rednecks love being bundled in with the gay.

Obviously another data point that the people running these global companies could give two shits about the brand, and are tone deaf to the consumers who formerly consumed said products.

Hope I am alive to see Woke Brands go the way of WorldCom and Enron.

#10  I don't drink but sales rep indicated with Miller Keystone he has seen big increase. He said they distribute Corona and Cores because Bush had gotten too big. Too great a market share. Heineken seems to be a better quality product.

Clydesdale Shows postponed indefinitely.

I was told Marketing group all fired also.

#9  Son in Law Mundi is in close to same situation. He's much higher up on the ladder but sees writing on the wall. Now worries though folks, White Claw will save the entire brand!

#7  Just this passed Friday one of my local grocery stores stopped stocking Bud Light, and started stocking Yuengling Lager.

Which is a positive move, even without Bud Light's abjectly stupid marketing.

#6  unlike most people here I used to like Bud Lite because it was lightly sweet, low in hops and had no aftertaste

I gave up beer almost entirely a few years ago because of gout

#5  Well I can't boycott it since I don't drink that horse piss anyway.

#4  /\ AB may have just crossed the Rubicon. Recovery from this one may not be possible.

#3  Here in Mideast, Ga. .
Wally World is offering deep discounts, to the point that a 24 can case of BUD is only selling for about $3 and some change more than a 24 can case of Coke.

#2  The brand has been in slow decline as people have discovered that beer can taste good. The brilliant Marketing VP has constructed a superior add campaign that immediately alienated half of the remaining customers in hopes of attracting new drinkers most of which are too young to legally buy the product.

#1  Bud Light's marketing VP says she was inspired to update 'fratty,' 'out of touch' branding with inclusivity
