Blue Moon with a orange wedge is a great drink!


Is this popular anywhere other than the metroplex?


Dallas obsession noted.
Obsession? When I asked the question, the replies were Como, San Francisco and very few other places. Blue moon seems to be the Luke Bryan of beers.

I find it funny that there are always things that you can count on about Dallas. The rangers are always going to stumble before the season ends, the cowboys fans are always looking to fight if you poke fun at the team and Blue moon is a much more popular beer choice there than anywhere else in Tx.

Bud Light suffered a bloodbath this past weekend.

Consumers nationwide revolted against the nation's top-selling beer brand after it stepped "recklessly" into the culture wars last week with its new spokesperson, transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, according to bar owners and beer-industry experts around the country.
…
But even Fitter's bar witnessed a catastrophic decrease in sales of the hometown suds among loyal and local consumers this week.

Sales of Anheuser-Busch bottled products dropped 30% over the past week, while draught beer plummeted 50%, the owner said.
…
Similar stories are found around the country.

Bud Light normally outsells rival products Miller Lite and Coors Light 25 to 1 at Braintree Brewhouse in Massachusetts, a sprawling sports bar just outside Boston.

Not this week.

Eighty percent of Bud Light drinkers ordered something else this week, Brewhouse owner Alex Kesaris said while the 20% who did order Bud Light "weren't on social media and hadn't heard yet" about its new transgender pitch person.

"They didn't order it again," he said, after other patrons told them about the Bud Light marketing misfire.

One pub in Hell's Kitchen, a New York City neighborhood known for its large and vocal gay community, reported that Bud Light draft sales dropped 58% this week, while Bud Light bottle sales were down 70%.
…
He cited a nightmare scenario for Bud Light sales reps in Texas, where the brand has for years has sponsored a large weekly dart league with 100-plus players each Thursday night.

The bar typically sells though three kegs of Bud Light at the event a total of 495 12-ounce pours.

The bar sold only four 12-ounce Bud Light bottles this week, as the dart players held a mass protest against their league sponsor.

"They've already done enough damage in one week to disrupt year-long sales projections," a beer-sales representative who works with national beer retailers such as Costco told FOX Business. "You don't just make up those sales. People aren't going to drink twice as much Bud Light the following weekend to recover the lost business." For a brand as large as Bud Light, the public relations calamity already represents millions of lost dollars even if the consumer revolt ended tomorrow.


Go woke, go broke strikes again as Bill Gates dumps $100 million into Bud Light. The suffering bud light will have for their decisions will haunt them for years to come.

Some kind of angle here but we not smart enough to have figured it out yet.

Dude invests in big pharma right before pandemic, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe when shtf AB gets the exclusive government contract for distribution of soma spritzers.

I agree with your thought. It's worth watching what happens in the future. As Jessie Kelly puts it, the system protects its own.

Apart from that, there's not really any economic justification for the purchase.

Really want to see the BL numbers after this weekend. The average NFL fan is their market (used to be anyways). If they're down 20% or more this weekend, that brand is toast!

Bud stock took a huge hit since this controversy got started. Gates (a seasoned investor) seems to think that the stock bottomed-out, which is always a good point to buy.

Weren't they planning on re-booting the brand through a NFL/CFB ad blitz? Interested to see how that works out for them.

Hoegaarden. (a style of wheat beer) is USUALLY served with an Orange Slice. Not unique to Blue Moon.

We had to exchange Bud Light bottles that expired.

Will be interesting to see what happens next weekend because Mizzou is hosting Kstate in football. 11 am game.


See if people order Bud Light after the sold out game.

I don't think Bud Light will be an issue. Mostly Corona or Dos Equis for beeritas. Plus Mexican Sodas.

United Club in Nola.

Blacked out drink on the top….clearly reads "Bud Light" in person.

I wonder why they stopped offering Bud Light?

Last time we walked bottle cap alley, they were all old and degraded. I'm sure they will collect some on their own.

Saw it at "Walkons" at Kuykendahl and GP. I sat at the bar and never once saw the BL tap pulled. But dang it was nice watching my bartender reach into the cooler for fresh mugs.

Hopefully never! 15-0 BABY!
I'm not sure if people genuinely believe someone is going to say, "Wow, if some people say I'm a moron for not believing this, it clearly must be true."

It's not much a persuasive argument. It really just sounds like a bunch of miniature dachshunds barking because the first one one barked when it thought it heard something.

Both Globe Life Field and Minute Maid Park are pushing Estrella Jalisco pretty hard in the stands. I tried it and its not terrible, wife seemed to like it.

Fair warning though, its another A-B product and likely an attempt to address sales issues whether A_B has the exclusive rights like certain sports venues, etc.
