Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Are Anheuser-Busch stockholders ready to revolt?

Yeah, pretty sure that's why he said he quit drinking it.

I just glanced at AB stock price. Didn’t look like it dropped all that much, couple of bucks unless I misread. Stocks go up and down that much all the time. Where they are taking the hit is sales. I’d like to be a fly on the wall in a Managment meeting at the big AB brewery in Houston. I bet it’s ugly when they start talking numbers. I was in sales most of my working life, I know the drill. It’s all about the numbers.

When was the last time stockholders revolted?

Within a couple of weeks or maybe three, all this will be forgotten, BL drinkers will go back drinking BL, stocks will show no memory of the incident.

^^^THAT^^^

The whole ESG/activist investor class (Blackrock et al) won't even flinch at this and continue pushing their agenda. Tranny fluid will be forgotten history by July 4th.

Yep, a week, TWO at best. Fruit flys have longer memories than Americans. We deserve this, and we’re going to get it.

The commies have been winning the culture War for decades. We suck at it.

Has Dick's Sporting Goods gone tits up yet?

When short memories come up, what companies have done direct harm to gun owners and gotten away with it? Rock River Arms and Springfield Armory are two of the worst and few remember.

We had members here rail on Bill Ruger for his deal, tho now dead, and then also say "I wear Levi's because they're comfortable". It happens a lot.

I get that, but Levi means nothing to me or my life. Gun manufacturers do.

No - I just mean the short memories of who is/isn't hurting their 2A stance. Or willing to compromise on one but not the other when it comes to the company - things like that.

I think it was Steelhead who said a long time ago "People are weird and they'll do weird stuff"

This was a small incident masterminded by a low-level marketer that works with influencers and I'm betting it would have never seen the light of day if the C-Suite at AB knew about it.

It got a ton of run because liberals aren't the only group continuously looking to be outraged over something.

Thought that female vp knew about it - she should have known better. C-suite or not. The fact she's not fired yet makes me wonder a little. Course reminds me of the old Pabst snafu - Eat the Biden Campaign

Nothing about the frizzin' stockholders !

She did - she's a VP for that brand (they've got as many VP as banks).
And she didn't help her cause any after the fact. I'm willing to bet they're tightening up the approval protocols because of this and it will forever be known as the Heinerscheid process – I'm sure her associates are phuggin' thrilled with her. LOL

In a crowded market such as cheap beer it's not that hard to change the customer loyalty even to another InBev brand.

It's not like Bud Light is special in that market and most consumers probably choose it out of habit rather than taste.

But the Queer Beer and Tranny Fluid branding might just stick.

I can't imagine it would not be brought up in my circle of friends if someone was sippin a Bud Light.

2020 numbers so dated but the #1 beer sold in the US is Bud Light. Its almost 2x as much as the #2 beer. That's a massive delta unlikely to be moved rapidly or quickly to allow #2 to catch up.

BL - 27.2 million barrels
Coors Light - 14 million barrels

I'm sure you'll send them signals by making it your favorite.
