Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bud Light Babe Be Gone

I hear you but I do love my Labatt's Blue Dry. But now I will have to switch beer because frankly, I can not go along with their Trans-Men political BS. I have no issues with how individuals want to live their lives, but I will not tolerate corporations shoving messages down my throat.

All I really need is a Chrisp, Clean Pilsner so I will go back to Rainer Beer (owned by Pabst Brewing), great beer, just not as strong so I will just have more JD shooters to compensate

Looks like Mr. ED

This!

"All of it reminds me of reading about the Rockefellers, Carnagey's & the others going for the monopolies of the last century."

Different times. Different minds. Rockefeller put himself in a perilous position with JP Morgan for favorable freight rates. He could not produce enough kerosene to fill his shipping allotment. So he began paying other refiners more than they were asking to deliver all the product they could possibly produce, then bought them out. He perceived enormous market demand and had the generosity to encourage others to do more and become wealthier than they could ever imagine. This is far different from consolidating back office operation while playing international hopscotch with laws and taxes while holding hands with globalist control freaks.
I don't think Carnegie did more than expand his own business.

Back then I did some work for a big Coca-Cola plant. I had to schedule some work and called the plant manager, unfortunately I started the conversation with "What's new?"

That guy had a well-deserved rep for cursing, and whatever record he held with himself, I think he broke it.

So AB gets to see how much loyal customers will take and becomes status symbol for a potential large new market? I’m not seeing how they lose here despite some half hearted boycotts. What’s their market cap like $115bn? Lose a few it’s just a marketing expense at most. A few distributor co-op budgets get scaled back a year so Marketing can offset loss maybe but likely not. Bigger play is seeing what the most country brand in their portfolio will absorb and keep buying. Just an expensive marketing experiment if that. Bet most didn’t even boycott, just hid their 30 pack of BL under the ramen and Beenie weanies in cart,,,,

Coke bottling isn’t Coca-cola. I haven’t been close to that situ but recall the bigger snafu was Coca Cola trying to absorb bottling and distribution. Most brands are better off licensing Ops and just managing their brand/ip.

Can't remember the first time I had one, but since I did, Stella has been my go to beer since that day. Reminded me a good deal of the beers available to us in Germany at the time. Bittburger, Warsteiner, etc. Fairly light beers that were crisp and cool, not heavy, after a hot day out. Maybe memory has faded, but Stella hit the spot for me in what I wanted in a beer.

I love my beer. I've been a solid Stella purchaser for years. I won't buy another. I don't GAF who gets fired, or what happens from here, all AB products are off the shopping list. I worked at a decently high level in a large publicly held corporation for almost 30 years. There is no way....NO WAY this chick made this decision on her own. Senior management was briefed, bought into it, and gave the go ahead. What is happening now is she will be paid off handsomely, and will be their designated fall dike. She / her / it likely won't have to work another day in her life if she doesn't want to.

If the culture in that business was such that they did not know, did not a approve, and were not aware, the ALL need to feel the pain and be fired for failure to do their basic jobs of controlling the company.

It was a national marketing strategy. No way some senior VP of marketing gets the "sign off" on that with a huge publicly held company. And again, if she did, the CEO, COO, Chairman, etc., all need to answer for how that could have happened.

I can tell you, that DID NOT happen. They knew. But point being, either way, they all need to go.

And don't GAF if any of them do go, or if they all get canned and AB starts to post American flags and AR's on their beer cans, they have shown their willingness to sell out, and cannot be trusted.

Trannies and middle-aged white women aren’t going to consume enough AB to keep them afloat for long.

I think this one will stick. Most people I talk to have had well enough of this [bleep] crammed in our faces everywhere we turn.

Or, make them apologize and THEN keep boycotting their crappy ass beer. Drive them under! (like that would happen!)

I would drink Stellas for the reasons you describe and the plus that you didn't have to go far to find it.

I quit buying it because like Becks, they decided it had to be made in St. Louis. Fugg that. Haven't bought either since.

Took a peek in the grocery store today and the Bud Light case was overflowing with stock, just like it was two weeks ago…….

It sure doesn’t seem like a “half-hearted boycott” to me….

In my area the boycott is very much still in place & far from halfhearted. No matter where ya look, liquor barns, warehouses, country stores & gas stations to big chain type grocers. No square footage left to store especially BL, but sister brands as well.

The trickle back of the inventory glut is gonna be sporting.

It's not a boycott when people just don't want to be seen drinking tranny fluid.

Same effect, nevertheless.

They've lost $7B in just a couple weeks.....don't take long to get to $115B! Maybe folks should "demand" they replace their outed VP (take a play from the liberal playbook) with a beer gutted, plaid shirt wearing, skoal spittin', sweat stained hat covered, good old boy!

What's the difference between pu$$y and bud light? Pu$$y only tastes like piss for a couple seconds!
