It's probably too late for Budweiser now... but
AMC is airing all 10 episodes of Band of Brothers today. However they're doing them with commercials so each 1hr episode is taking closer to 1hr 45min. Budweiser, if they still were as a company who they used to be, should have underwritten the event. Commercial free.
The US Budweiser family has a LOT of veterans that work for them. They've done spots on them before. For memorial day though, look at employees that will be remembering friends or family today. Intro each episode with a 2 minute spot. Each spot giving time to two different employees of Budweiser. Let them tell us who they are, what they do at Budweiser, then tell the story of their friend or family member that gave their life in service of this country. End it with their classic tagline, "This Bud is for you."
But I guess since SecDef isn't honored on Memorial Day, AB doesn't give a ____ anymore.
God bless all of those who have laid the ultimate sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Bud Light is in real trouble. Two more private clubs here in south FL have discontinued carrying the brand despite distributor incentives. And there are apparently many more.

The Mulvaney ticktock video was released on April 1st when a lot of companies were putting out April fools videos and so forth.
So bud light had the opportunity to come out and say this was an April fools bit, but they didn't have the leadership to get that done.
They had a good off ramp on this deal but they didn't take it.
Like the poster said above, I don't see how you don't clear out the entire c-suite and the board of directors over this. They put Toonces behind the wheel and went straight off a cliff. I don't know how you spin this as purely a business decision either. This was an intentional act that was so out of touch with reality that I don't know how you spin it as a business mistake, in that 'we tried something new and it didn't work out.'
Shareholders invested in AB because it was a safe bet. Up until now, it was unforeseeable that a company would **** up so bad as to intentionally destroy its most popular brand.
All the C level people and board went jesus take the wheel on this. Huge failure of leadership.

This is a good read and explains it well. It deserves it own thread because more people should read it, but I don't have the time now to create one. If anyone reads it and feels the same way, by all means take the reins and create a new thread.
These Big 3 using our 401Ks against us is the root cause of all this and employees need to revolt and demand their corporations dump them as directors for their 401Ks.

Exact same thing at my HEB. Bud was fully stocked. Mexican beers, yuengling and coors were almost empty. Miller was being restocked when I was there.

You've read all the reports about the catastrophic drop in Bud Light sales since Anheuser Busch (AB InBev) slandered its loyal customers as being the wrong type of people, and then decided to make a celebrity cross-dresser the face of the product.
A major re-branding, or an all-new replacement light beer, is likely the resolution that AB will have to pursue.
A story from Tennessee shows just how damaged the Bud Light brand is. For decades, one of the stages at Chattanooga's downtown summer music festival has been "The Bud Light Stage," sponsored by the local AB distributor.
No longer.
[url=https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2023/may/16/riverbends-bud-light-stage-now-called-ultra-stage/]
Chattanooga Riverbend Festival's Bud Light Stage now called Ultra Stage [5/16/2023][/url]Michelob Ultra is another light beer produced by AB. The change in the name of the stage's sponsor was made at the request of the local AB distributor.Quote:
Change has been the name of the game for the Riverbend Festival in recent years, and the changes keep coming as the Bud Light Stage has been renamed the Ultra Stage.
The rebranding of the "Bud Light Stage" to the "Ultra Stage" reflects more than just how toxic the Bud Light brand is. AB distributors need to sell beer, and any money spent promoting Bud Light is going to be wasted. While AB as a whole is being hit hard, its other brands are not as radioactive as Bud Light.
I forgot that the despicable person who is Cindy McCain (RIP, Arizona) inherited her wealth in the form of a huge InBev distributor. That impact from this brightened my morning.Quote:
Fortunately for most Anheuser Busch distributors, they carry a wide array of products, so the death of just one label need not be a bankrupting event.
But it's sad that those most invested in AB's products aren't the executives and marketers who are actively destroying the company in support of cultural communism. Distributors' actual survival depends on AB remaining a major player in the beer industry. Destructive managers at AB will just get golden parachutes and move along.
Anheuser Busch's CEO, Brendan Whitworth, is an Ivy Leaguer who worked at the CIA, and in just a few short years after hiring on at AB, he somehow leapfrogged all the AB lifers who were truly committed to the company. Under Whitworth's leadership, AB hired more Ivy Leaguers - who openly discuss their contempt for Budweiser's actual customers - to remake the company into something that would impress the communists in Davos. Thus, Alissa Heinerscheid was hired to insult Bud Light drinkers and to make its image more gender fluid.
Budweiser distributors need AB to be successful. Whitworth and Heinerscheid don't. If their mismanagement completely destroys AB in the United States, they will still be feted in Davos and have any number of opportunities to further enrich themselves in the government / globalist nexus.

Exactly. I would not be happy if my top line decreased 5-10% due to my main product taking a 20-30% dive.FTAG 2000 said:Quote:

Bankrupting? Probably not.
But anytime a company's number one skew gets destroyed, they are going to have a substantial revenue hit.
I strongly suspect the 20-30% dive is a shell game and the hit is far more significant to BL.powerbelly said:Exactly. I would not be happy if my top line decreased 5-10% due to my main product taking a 20-30% dive.FTAG 2000 said:Quote:

Not to mention having a product that will expire just sitting in a warehouse.
I'm not so sure. I think there will be a buffer from shipments to distributors and contractual agreements with stadiums. If this continues through the summer I think you will see a greater impact.Eso si, Que es said:I strongly suspect the 20-30% dive is a shell game and the hit is far more significant to BL.powerbelly said:Exactly.
