No.
In September 2015, Anheuser-Busch InBev announced that it had reached a full agreement to acquire SABMiller for $107 billion.[9] As part of the agreement with the U.S. Justice Department, SABMiller agreed to divest itself of the Miller brands in the U.S. and Puerto Rico by selling its stake in MillerCoors to Molson Coors.[1][10] Consequently, on October 11, 2016, SABMiller in the U.S. sold its interests in MillerCoors to Molson Coors for around US$12 billion.
Molson Coors is not part of Anheuser-Busch InBev.

Nope, Miller which is part of SABMiller was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev. MGD and Miller Lite are Molsen-Coors:

Bud Light boycott is costing sales staff up to $2,000-a-month as sales tanked as much as 60% over the Memorial Day weekend - amid fears 'good people are going to start leaving brand because they aren't making money'
Salespeople working for independent wholesalers that distribute Anheuser-Busch products are feeling the pain of the ongoing boycott in their wallets
Some say they have lost commission because of the drop in sales because of the boycott tied to the partnership with trans Dylan Mulvaney
Parent company Anheuser-Busch has lost $27billion in value since the boycott began
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12157745/Bud-Light-boycott-hits-salespeople-cuts-commissions-continue-thanks-disastrous-partnership.html
If Bud Light doesn't grovel and disown trannies, they might lose their best salespeople to the Competition. Capitalism at work, don't piss off the customers - they're always right, no matter what the Marketing Millennial Chicks say.

Potential Beer Price War to benefit beer drinkers this summer as Bud Light and Competitors sling it out over market share and affordability.
https://nypost.com/2023/05/27/bud-light-24-packs-going-for-3-49-as-sales-tank-during-dylan-mulvaney-boycott/
Makes sense. Most bottlers are well under capacity, many beers sell with comfortable margins, and it's very possible that it'll be a market share sudsy bath of epic proportions as competitors have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to sieze permanent new customers from failing Bud Light.
Bud Light sales fell for the sixth consecutive week even as retailers slashed prices — with one store charging $3.49 for a 24-pack — to get rid of the unwanted beer as the nationwide boycott over its partnership with Dylan Mulvaney continued.
Since Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch teamed up with transgender influencer Mulvaney, sales have fallen precipitously, and stores have been marking down the company’s products to get them off their shelves.
“This could be a promotional summer the likes we haven’t seen since after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, where there was so much beer inventory backed up in the trade that it initiated the price war of all price wars,” Beer Business Daily said according to Fox Business.
The trade publication, which reviewed Nielsen IQ data, said Bud Light volumes for the week ending May 13 fell 28.4 percent, following a 27.7 percent drop the prior week.

I have a simple rule.
Is it advertised?
Don't buy it.
I would like to see the comeback of Red & White Beer - that was really a thing in the 1970s. "Safeway beer" would be fine with me, if I was willing to drink Budweiser, and although you might think I'm a beer snob, I'm not. I just refuse to pay for advertisement. Also, I simply don't like light beers, if I just want to get intoxicated, there's Jack Daniels and nearly any other liquid to mix it with.
Nearly ANYTHING that isn't advertised stands on it's own. Mountain Mike's Pizza is FAR inferior to Vitos which you've never heard of because it's only where I live, and they have 5 stores. Still, it's better than Mountain Mike's, Roundtable, Dominos, Ceasars, or Pizza Hut. CERTAINLY better than Sbarro which is horrifically bad. Depending on the franchise they are more or less expensive. Mountain Mike's and Roundtable are disgustingly expensive for the quality, Vito's is cheaper and better. A Ceaser's or Domino's Pizza is at the same level of a frozen pizza.
Same with a deli. Go to some hole in the wall deli, and see if what they give you isn't better than Subway.
Same with burritos, tacos, steaks, "comfort food", nearly anything. If it's advertised, it's generally worse. Support mom & pop places. They try to please and generally they do, and if they don't, they cease to exist. They'll take suggestions as well, if you're willing to pay for them, including your mistakes, and be polite - constructive criticism is value - if you order off the menu, be honest, but tip well and offer constructive criticism. A few concoctions I've suggested ended up on menus and quite a few just were horrible, but not often. Most chefs are pretty damned good at what they do.
Seems like the time is right for a national chain of Indian food.. Nobody has done that yet in the United States. The ingredients are cheap, but the preparation is non trivial. I think it could be done well on an industrial scale. Something like a Panda Express. Indian food doesn't really age badly over a day, unlike Chinese food. It's almost always a stew in the American sense. Just keep it hot, it's fine.
I really think we're approaching a time of decentralization, IF we can prevent centralization from our government. They're pushing for that - trying to kill small business and real innovators. Not just about food, about everything. They're trying to stagnate society.

Jesus, I don't know how much clearer I can speak. This isn't just you Nutt. They're autonomous brands. Their own marketing department, their own bottling, everything. InBev just owns them. Bud Light is its own brand. Boycott that. InBev gave autonomy to Bud to make their own decisions. ZERO other brands are marketing tranny shit.
Boycotting ALL brands is jacking up the prices of fucking beer everywhere. Boycott BUD LIGHT, not everything else. It's called shooting yourself in the foot. InBev DIDN'T come up with the marketing. It was stupid, no dispute there. BUD LIGHT as a corp made the decision.
I'm going to be a bit of a dick. You guys don't understand business. I tried to explain it. Bill and Ted work for InBev as independent contractors. Bill decides to hire a tranny for marketing his brand. Ted doesn't and makes manly cans and marketing. WTF does Ted have to do with Bill? They're separate entities....
Boycott till your nuts go blue, but all you're doing is raising the price of beer as people find other brands. They then raise their prices in an already inflationary market. If we eliminate Chevy tomorrow, what do you think is going to happen to auto sales prices? The competitors raise prices. I have no stake in any of this shit, but I like beer and if you do, take the bullet out of your foot. Prices are up $3-5/case of anything 24-30 pack since this happened. Not inflation.

June 10, 2013
Constellation Brands Inc., Victor, N.Y., announced that it completed its acquisition of Grupo Modelo's U.S. beer business from Anheuser-Busch InBev, Leuven, Belgium, for approximately $4.75 billion. The transaction includes full ownership of Crown Imports LLC, which provides Constellation with complete, independent control of all aspects of the U.S. commercial business; a state-of-the-art brewery in Nava (Piedras Negras), Mexico; an exclusive perpetual brand license in the United States to import, market and sell Corona and the Modelo brands Crown currently sells; and the freedom to develop brand extensions and innovations for the U.S. market.
The US Justice department made sure that Constellation was able to purchase the brewery in Mexico so that it would be fully independent of InBev.
In fact, InBev even sued Constellation (and lost) when they introduced hard seltzers under the Modelo moniker.

I actually had Modelo last night. And the things is, I give no shits if it's a AB or InBev brand or whoever owns the brand. Don't drink Bud Light.
As a real estate centric site, at one point, there are good brokers out there. Would you stop working with Coldwell Banker if there was one dip shit agent in the office that raped a buyer in a house, but you had a good one at the same brokerage getting you amazing deals? No.
The tranny thing is 1,000% bull shit. I drink Busch Light. You know what's happening? No one even knows what InBev is. So they mark up the prices as people shift from Bud. In the last month prices jumped $2/case. InBev will get their money. They own and partner with too many beers and seltzers.
People need to understand that this is a childish temper tantrum by marketing execs. 0.2% of the populations voice isn't being heard. If you ignore it and yes boycott the brand that did it, it will go away. Give attention though and they'll seek more.... Why are there gay pride parades? They want fucking attention and the trannies are getting it with this Bud Light shit. STOP giving them the attention and they go away.

Anheuser-Busch Says Bud Light Was An 'Important Wake-Up Call'
From The Huffington Post: "Anheuser-Busch Exec Says Bud Light Controversy Was An 'Important Wake-Up Call...'"
No kidding? Advertising your best selling beer with the latest Globalist degenerate narrative was "An 'Important Wake-Up Call?" The arrogance, the stupidity and imbecility here are breathtaking!
"Bud Light sales were down 24% from a year ago, driven by conservative outrage... that followed a Bud Light partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney..."
This is not a conservative outrage, this is an American outrage and the fact that Anheuser-Busch is not aware of the fact shows that they are in lockstep with the Globalist pedophile degenerates.

'So Unprecedented': Kevin O'Leary Says Bud Light Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving, Plans To Teach Its 25% Market Share Collapse To College Students
“Beer is a commodity, the only difference is brand, so you really have to protect your brand every way you can,” he said.
“If you don’t understand who’s buying your brand and you enrage them, which seems to be what happened here, you don’t know the outcome. And now we can measure it — 25% market share.”
O’Leary also intends to share the insight with his students.
“This is so extraordinary that I’m planning to teach it this fall in the colleges that I visit and guest lecture at. I’ve never seen a brand case like this one,” he said, later adding that “Bud Light is the gift that keeps on giving.”

Agreed, but this is a production/inventory issue. If retailers aren't moving it, the distributors inventory is at max and the production facility is at max. It was already made and paid for. The three stages to shelf are maxed out. No different than covid messing up supply chain. This is just from a boycott. It's not like you just drain the tanks and stop making it altogether.
Fact is this is just an advertising gimmick that hopefully clears up the backlog of cases and they can adjust production. People can get basically free beer. If it was your beer of choice they'll likely win you back. It's marketing and clearing out the supply chain. AND no one is talking about the tranny anymore, just that they're giving away free beer basically.
They make this right overnight by putting out a commercial that they made a mistake. Doesn't need to be manly and it should offend tranny's. Guess what, highly unlikely they even drink beer. Piss them off. It's okay to piss off tranny's and their friends, they likely never drank the beer anyway.

The new display at the Supermarket (Winn Dixie) is 10 feet in height, festooned with token American symbols. It's $5 for 18 bottles after rebate, and nobody is buying.
Being a block off the beach this July 4th weekend, the place was jammed when I went in to buy some buns and rolls, and still the Bud languished unbrought. The other beer shelves were fairly picked through, about half-capacity, some areas totally empty. But the Blue Bud Light boxes were still completely full.
Great to see.

Costco updates their stock pretty often. If it doesn't sell, they stop carrying it.

Fantastic News on the Costco dump.
Don't believe the hype, any decline in Bud will be made up with other beers, the distributors will be fine. Pretty much no distributor depends solely on one company.

“Costco has not made any public comment on Bud Light and does not publicly discuss stocking decisions. So the question of whether the chain will fully remove Bud Light from its warehouse clubs remains open.”

This is a symbolic destruction.
I don't think companies should be allowed to engage in this bullshit. Destroying a brand, a label, even if it doesn't harm the company, is still sending a message of "stop with this shit".

This makes sense in red Florida. Hell, even in deep blue California the Bud drinking is super way down. Halfway through an Angels game the Budweiser pavilion was empty and the few there were drinking other labels.

Distributors no longer expecting Bud Light Sales to recover.
"Consumers have made their choice."

Excellent. Nothing disciplines a company better. Next time they'll be more skeptical when their Urban Professional Millie Bluehair Marketing Exec suggests more Wokey-Dokey.

I think the difference between cancel culture and boycotts, one is done by fringe radicals who don't have the numbers, the other is done by the rest of us.
