Disney owns Fox "News". Everybody forget that?

Dang, I didn't know this.

Disney does not own Fox news. The poster was in error.

Hmm, you're correct. I am in error/

https://www.npr.org/2019/03/20/705009029/disney-officially-owns-21st-century-fox

Now that Fox Corp. has sold off most of its entertainment properties, it has become a standalone company that will retain ownership of its broadcast network, owned-and-operated network affiliates, the Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network and Fox Sports.

The entertainment division is owned by Dizzey.

Budweiser Beer Garden two Sundays ago at Anaheim Angels game, 4th inning.

I did a 1mo overlay with BUD and other major beer producers.

BUD is -9% when everyone else is in the green.

This is as of 5/21/23.

1829? Shouldn't Yuengling be called OldFuckLing?

In my thinking, Bud is dead and it is not coming back, ever! They think We The People are gullible and stupid...

Won't happen. They'll turn it into a hipster beer like Pabst. I still don't think it will lose 12-24 month long term market share. It will be slightly down but they're going to hide it behind another brand. Busch is the first candidate. Fishing, farming, hunting, etc. themes. Then build Bud back up.

Target is backpedaling and does not want to be wiped out like Bud...

"A Target insider told Fox News that South and rural America stores are removing controversial LGBT-themed products ahead of June Pride month to avoid further backlash..."

Heh... imagine that!

"Some products ranged from "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for transgender people to gender-fluid coffee mugs. The insider said the reasoning behind such an abrupt move is "to avoid the kind of backlash Bud Light has received in recent weeks."

Too late. It already happened! People do not want to be seen buying or drinking Bud beer.

False. Played volleyball in rural redneck country last night. People were drinking it. Neighbors had it in their fridge. Kickball Sunday people drinking it. I'm telling you the stigma is and will wear off once summer starts and the initial shock wears off. I have no interest in it failing or succeeding. Wife's family has been in the restaurant/bar industry for decades. It ain't going anywhere.

I live by what I see and hear. Sales are down. Bud Light ain't going away though. We drink a decent amount and are out and about frequently. Bud is still being bought. I see people drinking it daily almost. We only know of one person that says they'll never drink an AB beer again. We know a lot of people. 1 out of 1,000 (at least). It's become a joke now and people will drink it to make conversation. This wasn't done on accident.

If you're talking about Bud Light, you're marketing for Bud Light. Let that soak in.

WookieMan, that is the Globalist version of the story which has no basis in fact. Those people you saw were drinking Coors Light and Miller Lite. Not Bud Light.

From the news earlier today.

1. "Bud Light Boycott Already Costs Anheuser-Busch $15.7 Billion. Another group is getting burned by Anheuser-Busch's (BUD) controversial Bud Light promotion: Its investors... https://www.investors.com/etfs-and-funds/sectors/bud-light-boycott-already-costs-anheuser-busch-15-7-billion/

2. " Beer industry 'in shock' that Bud Light backlash continues as expert warns of supply shortages of rival lagers. Increased interest in Coors Light and Miller Lite could lead to supply shortages, expert says" https://www.foxnews.com/media/beer-industry-shock-bud-light-backlash-continues-expert-warns-supply-shortages-rival-lagers

Wow... Coors Light and Miller Lite are facing supply shortages. Imagine that.

3. "'Nobody imagined it would go on this long': Bud Light sales continue to plummet over Mulvaney backlash. The controversy, now nearing its third month, has turned off a broader customer group than just those who characterize themselves as conservatives." https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/bud-light-sales-falling-amid-mulvaney-backlash-no-end-in-sight-rcna85832

Did you catch that? The controversy, has turned off a broader customer group than just conservatives.

4. "AB InBev Stock Falls Again as Bud Light Controversy Continues to Exact a Toll. It’s another down day for Anheuser-Busch InBev BUD -1.75% putting the stock on pace for its worst month in nearly two years." https://www.barrons.com/articles/the-line-between-public-and-private-is-blurry-thats-a-good-thing-4dbf043b

Exact opposite of what I'm seeing. Stacked a mile high in stores, nobody buying it, the only person I saw drinking Bud Light is because a neighbor gave him the last of a old case when he went back north to Minnesota and he laughed about it.

They're not giving away $20 rebates across the country because it's selling. Distributors are desperate to get rid of their inventory, as ImBev is for them to clear it out and order more.

The sales numbers are down 30% in the Southeast, that's massive.

Oh, and the Patel who owns the 7-11 is the only one who doesn't laugh when Tranny Fluid jokes are made. Probably because his display is a mile high and there's more in the walk in fridge.

It's working.

Keep attacking.

Take power from the Magisterum and make them bow down.

Is a Bud Light Denier one who:
Denies Bud Light is dead
or
Denies Bud Light will survive

Denies Bud Light is in trouble.

Bud light is in trouble, Ukraine is in trouble, Tiff is alive and well, and the scamdemic was the greatest victory for the globalists in the past 20 years.

As I've said I didn't and don't drink it unless out of desperation. I'm in a different market. I'm not seeing stacks of Bud in grocery stores. People are buying it at the bars I frequent 1-2 days a week for activities like volleyball. It's a midwest beer originally. Maybe that has something to do with it. I'm talking business which most of you here are contractors or W-2 employees and know nothing about business or running one.

No one can say shit until Q2 comes out. I'll keep saying it. Bud can fail. I give zero shits. It's a legacy brand that ain't going anywhere. This is business 101. They made a fucking massive mistake. But you will see draft Bud Light at every bar forever. The other brands are taking advantage of the slip up and making up stats. They don't report until July or August. This happened after Q1 ended. Everything is lies and manipulation right now. This is why people fail at stock picks.

Did you see who is over the QR code?

When you ain't movin' no beer
And distributor desperation takes hold
Cancel, Cancelation will tear your company apart, again...

"We're being called 'Gay Beer' salesmen"

More distributors whinge about their vendors being harassed and that people should suck up the Tranny Fluid and LGBTQCIA123+ propaganda because of Jobs are at stake. You know everything in life is secondary to the abstract economy, right?

https://youtu.be/GEpLZ0A5kQU?t=120

They won't lose that big. People switch to other beers; distributors can as well.

It's not a boycott, this is a permanent REJECTION of Bud. All the Clydesdale Horses with US Flags in the background and some glittering generalities about values ain't gonna undo the damage.

AmericanKulak says

Yes, InBev would have to sell the Budweiser line to an American company for Bud to stay in business. Although if they did that, then people would buy Bud and still boycott the InBev line.

AmericanKulak says

It's not a boycott, this is a permanent REJECTION of Bud.

I say this is bigger. It's not a rejection of Bud Light as a beer, it's nullification of sexually deviant values by the American people. I was just listening to an interview with a Tennessee senator where they talked about how the federal government was brought to their knees, and the War on Us largely rendered impotent by a bunch of pot heads. Think about it. Cannabis is practically legal today because of fucking stoners, people who sit around and "get the munchies" defeated one of the most powerful entities in this country. And they never fired a fucking shot. All they did was refuse to comply.

Is it sinking in yet? The people are vastly, vastly more powerful than central banks or standing armies. All we have to do is say no.

Ate at a restaurant in Yuma over the weekend. Bud Light and Budweiser were the cheapest beers on a menu full of macro-brews. Did hear a guy behind us order one out loud.

People will still buy it. I think there's a lot of hyperbole around it. Fact is they know their numbers. They can scale back production and lose less. It was a dumb ass decision for sure, but this Doomsday outlook is not realistic. If you want a beer and you're on a boat and the only beer is Bud Light, are you going to say no if you didn't pay for it?

I'd venture to guess half of all alcohol sales are sales people taking customers out or at parties or sporting events. Tailgating at a Brewers v Cubs game in Milwaukee this summer. There will be Bud Light. Hosting a fish fry for my wife's company where I do the grilling. There will be Bud Light. You think the marketing chick at a corporate event that's purchasing the booze has any clue? I always bring my own cooler to any of my wife's events.

We'll see that summer has started. I could be proven wrong. They have a drop, but I don't think it will be as dramatic as people that don't know their numbers are predicting. The major news networks would be out of business if it worked that way. Bud Light is here to stay. I don't like it, but in a pinch, whatever.

After 2024 Covid will be a relic of the past. No one will even remember it and we shut down for 2 years. A tranny on a beer can is 6 months of shit sales. They're a legacy beer brand. Alcoholics that like cheap beer will keep drinking it. Just like people keep smoking cigarettes. Hell they don't even have advertising and people keep buying them.

You should have referred to it as gay beer loud enough for him to hear you.

I've been putting off this report.

Memorial day, my adult daughter and he boyfriend, used to bring Bud Light to family functions. On Memorial day they brought Lite Beer, though I had to inform them Miller is also owned by InBev but it was a start.
I keep asking servers in restaurants, and stock boys near the beer cooler in grocery stores if anyone is buying Bud Light. I never get a "Yes they still buy it." They always seem nervous that I asked, and they might get in trouble if they answer honestly.
Finally Cafe 27 out in the Everglades, a weekend music hotspot. I discovered it this year with my buddy. .We go there sometimes on Thursday night, Saturday or Sundays. They have buckets with Bud Light branding on it, and had ads featuring Bud Light buckets, when I used to look around, it appeared that Bud Light was the beer of choice. Most everyone of the 400 + patrons all had a Bud light in their hand or on the bar or table in front of them. This past Sunday I could not see a nary Bud Light in the whole place. There is zero Bud Light promotional material anywhere. But strange, as I took inventory what the few hundred were drinking. I could not pick out a concise clear winner. It seems people drink all sorts of beer. It seemed like an equal distribution of every beer they offered(Other than Budweiser products) with no clear winner prevailing as the preferred among everyone.
I did not see any Budweiser light or regular.

My shallow Hal interloper buddy finally registered what's going on. He likes to drink Bud Light Premium that blue bottle swill that taste like bum armpit sweat. He wouldn't give it up no matter what I told him. He likes giving me mental wedgies when we discuss politics by going Left to anything I say. Just to get a rise out of me. But after seeing all of the folks at Cafe 27 not drinking Bud Light and being the follower that he is. He now denounces Bud Light because he doesn't want to seem unhip or not cool. What a putz!

You may want to check that. Isn't Miller owed by Molsen-Coors?
