I don't usually drink beer when there are other options like a good cocktail or high end whiskey/bourbon/rum/etc. The last beer I drank was a Karbach, and I used to really like it. What's a good alternative?

---

Any of the Real Ale beers - Fireman's 4, Texas Bock, Axis IPA, Devil's Backbone, they have some sample packs at H-E-B. Family owned. Blanco, TX.

St. Arnold's is a good standby and what we choose at Minute Maid Park.

Stock Market says otherwise.

Purchase some options or shares, and put your money where your mouth is?

Disclaimer for leftists: do not actually put your money where your mouth is. This is a common saying used by human beings to convey a point, as opposed to just stating the point. In conclusion the saying is only intended to cleverly tell someone to place them self at risk as opposed to asking others to place themselves at risk. This disclaimer may seem unnecessary, but tbh 10 years ago I would never have imagined that people would cut their body parts off to try and become something else...so clearly ya'll need some extra explanations.

Companies that trend on Twitter with the #GoWokeGoBroke average a 15% increase YTD.

Do you think this was a smart move by bud light? Yes or no.

---

Yes.

Corporations don't make huge commitments without millions poured into market research and social trends. From adding minorities into advertising, then interracial couples the market of potential customers shows that they respond favorably to companies that support lgbt+ communities.

Like it or not companies are shifting their strategies to Millennials and Gen Z customers, Boomers and Gen X aren't as valuable anymore. They are absolutely willing to alienate a customer base that has 15-20 years of buying potential in favor of a customer base that has 30-40 years of buying potential.

Corporations are in the business of providing a ROI to its investors. It does not care about your feelings..

---

I do market research. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

FYI, first we have to get Gen Z drinking as most overwhelmingly don't as they don't have drivers licenses and don't party compared to the boomers and gen Z who are living longer and longer and drinking more and more. Millennials might make sense except that millennials are craft beer drinkers and the millennials that did drink bud light no longer will as they are more typically from the conservative demographic.

Your bit sounds like typical clueless idiocy and I'd fire this creature for what she did if it was my brand i am running.

This was a dumb ass decision and the company is going to suffer dearly for it. The only play I could see is for the portfolio brand to push lots of other craft type options and kill the bud light brand on purpose to secure funding d more lenient capital to push the more expensive more niche brands. Bud light is **** tier beer and the people running the show probably get that and won't do what is needed to fix the product.

Saw this post on Stocktwits and found it to be an interesting theory. Thoughts?

So, Bud Light did manage to pick up 'some' new customers I guess (to paraphrase tom hermensa). Kudo's, marketing geniuses.

"Wow, the Dixie chicks have really let themselves go."

Let's see how this plays out in Kyle Field this season....lots of AB product offered. I'll be locked into Dos X from here on out. Going to look tonight and this weekend at Olsen as well. I didn't drink Bud Light because it was an awful beer but didn't mind a Stella or Negro Modelo from time to time.

---

I'm sure if Kyle Field sells any AB products this season they'll promptly get a tsunami of complaints from the Rudder Association.

---

Look at you mocking former students for actually standing up for A&M. So bitter.

---

lol

I've heard way nastier things said about liberals on here (we are former students too, you know). Figured you could handle some light hearted ridicule.

---

You mean the former students who were falling all over themselves to get rid of A&M history because a ridiculously mediocre quarterback said so? Yeah…I'm good, bro.

multiple family members in the beer business, fortunately all on the MillerCoors side. they are absolutely loving this.

I can't believe they threw away 140 years of brand recognition with Aunt Jemima. Not to mention how proud the family was that it originated from a freed slave known for her pancakes. Doesn't matter because white corporate types thought it was racist. When does the copyright run on that brand?

---

As a Cherokee, I found the Land O Lakes move very disrespectful and have not bought their products since they took the Native woman off of their package. I used to only buy their butter

Ohhhh, looks like we might have a neckbeard fight about to happen...

Yes.

So, a company produces a miniscule amount of their product (I don't know exactly how many cans they printed and sent to Mulvaney) and sends it only to the individual whose image is on the cans, and this is described as "shoving it in our face" and "forcing it on us."

---

Yes. They created this whole issue.

You know what my company says publicly about political issues? Absolutely nothing. Their business is not politics.

The cans aren't in stores. Nobody is being made to buy cans with the image if they want to buy Bud Light. Mulvaney's image isn't suddenly in stores, bars, and kitchens across the country.

I don't drink Bud Light, nor am I LBGTQ+, so this issue has no direct, personal impact on me. Objectively speaking, it seems like a massive overreaction to a small act with no actual impact on anyone, other than some sort of hurt feelings for anti-LBGTQ+ folks. Am I missing something?

Holy **** the cans aren't even for sale?


This overreaction is so much dumber that I realized.
