Moral quandary.

That way people won't call you mean names.

Last bud light I have had was 4ish years ago.

A customer who hated trump to no end gave me a beer to have for when I got home.

Free beer is good beer...
I don't like beer.

My two favorite beers are cold and free.

I gave up the bottle about 10 years ago....I'm a better man for it. Go sober!

I'm always sober. This'll be the first beer I've had in months -- and the first pilsner I've had in years. Not a big drinker.

Because of the boycott against Anheuser Bush they are practically giving away Bud Light at the distributor level!

It's either give it away or throw it away

Actually it is worse than that. “This is because A-B InBev is covering any loss of sales.”


“Harkening to what the bartender said about pulling off a half keg, I asked if they have had to eat a lot of product since April; one aspect on the sales side is that reps usually are accountable for any stock that goes past its born on date. I suspected this could be harsh, or even devastating for sales reps on a volume scale. “Nah, not for me,” the rep told me. “The brewery has been taking back any out-of-code stock.” Then they told me an even more surprising move.“

“When I asked, cautiously, how they are surviving this massive downturn, they calmly said it really has not affected them. This is because A-B InBev is covering any loss of sales. “What the company is doing,” went the explanation, “is taking my figures from this time last year and making up any of the difference.” I pondered this for a moment. There are hundreds of privately owned A-B distributors across the country, and a large amount of those employees are commissioned. This expenditure of covering the losses of the sales has to be monumental, and it compounds the loss of sales company-wide. Bud Light alone has been seeing 20-30% weekly drops of late, and the customer flight is affecting the other brands as well.“

“But think about it, “ my contact detailed. “They basically have to do this, or else they’ll see much of the sales force walking away. That would cause even bigger losses, then you have the expense to hire new staff and train them, and any managers who leave as well would be an even bigger issue.”

Of all the light beers, Bud light does have the best taste, when I bought/buy light beer, it was my go to beer. I love Coors, but Coors light isn't as good, but Coors tastes better than regular Bud, but not as good as Amber Bock, (A-Busch) which is my favorite go to beer...had one a few weeks ago at a restaurant... I'll probably buy some trans fluid (Bud Light) some day....just not today

You might like Shiner Bock if you like Amber Bock. I had a couple on tap at The Roadhouse the other day and it was so fine!

I'll be buying a six pack of bud light for my youngest in the next few days. Her hubby brought her home a sixer of coors light, and she doesn't like it.

Shiner is good beer.

If it was purchased before the fiasco started, no harm in drinking it (other than the fact that it's like drinking water, but whatever). If you purchased since the fiasco, I guess there are plenty of people who don't understand boycotts or maybe are just okay with guys pretending to be women pushed down everyone's throats as OK...

I do know I won't ever buy their beer and I pray every day they go out of business as an example to other brands out there thinking of pushing the same messaging.

Imagine being such a snowflake that you don't want to drink what you want to drink.

Also - are we supposed to be "for" or "against" cancel culture?

I like Amber Bock too. Ultra Amber is pretty good. It's the only light beer I will drink.

This is exactly why the Right typically can't do boycotts that are effective.
