As a bar owner unfortunately it only hasn't affected AB but also us as bar owners, liquor stores, gas stations ect. When your a dominant beer brand out there and decide to go the route you went I am not sure if they came out and made an apology most people would accept it. Our AB sales have been cut by over 80% and still going. Like you said Darrin whatever you are you are but don't shove it down our throats. Time will tell on what will happen..........don't think it will end well. Really enjoyed your prospective on this issue. Stay safe my friend

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

What is sad is you know there was at least 1 person, maybe 2, in the board room meeting that would have said no to this campaign. But they didn't as they didn't want to be labeled, so now everyone is paying for it.. At least, that's how I see it..

[@woodruffwoods]

They are claiming someone did this without management approval. I find that really hard to believe. I also just heard that the VP Marketing is on a leave of absence. 😂 I hope it is a permanent one.

[@garygresge4165]

Your message is spot on except the 25 to 1 volume figure for Bud Light. The volume of Bud Light is equal to the total volume of Coors Light and Miller Light combined. So taken individually it would be about a 2 to 1 figure.

[@woodruffwoods]

Thanks for that. I couldn’t find any consistent numbers in that regard so I just quoted the high number. Even at 2-1 most brands would love to have that kind of share

[@IrishWhiskeyParanormal]

There is a lot more than Dylan just identifying as a trans person. Part of it was the disrespect the current customer base from the brands VP of marketing and focus to a younger group when most of Dylan's following is teenagers on tic tok. And that is just the start of it, there is so much more to it. But I quit drinking Bud & Bud Light about a decade ago because it started tasting stale/old - just plain nasty so I switched to Coors Light.

[@woodruffwoods]

I think Bud Light was already targeting this market of younger people with Bud LIght Seltzer and Bud Light Orange and Lime. It makes no business sense to take the route they did.

[@bobbyb7127]

I think the only way Bud comes back or I every buy another AB product is for them to hire you, someone who seems down to earth, no BS catch phases, tells what true inclusion/diversity is and even humbly ask for our forgiveness and ask us to give them another chance. But I'm kind of a dreamer and know that'll never happen. I work at a woke company and being qualified at your job is secondary to them in hiring someone. They look at color and gender first.

[@woodruffwoods]

Sadly, you are not alone. What failed to be successfully implemented in congress and with an eye on the Constititution is being brought to fruition by a woke movement in corporations. Large banks and large corporations wield a bit stick when they say have certain policies or we cannot do business with you. Most of these policies sound like a good plan but as in this case, they fail to consider the customer base or the business dynamics. We are definitely living in interesting times.

As for me, I feel that the woman who is responsible for this issue should have been fired, and I will not buy anything from them until Anheuser Busch either fires her or comes up with an acceptable apology. I hope Yuengling is ramping up production, as soon as my BL is gone that will become my new beverage of choice 🍺 CHEERS 🍻 and Thanks for the video 👍👍

I think that is very well said. They abandoned what worked so well for them and now they made their customers try alternatives. The lesson isn’t learned though, their CEO told the Street that it was only 1% of global sales. That was basically saying, “we don’t care”. I sure hope people continue to seek alternatives as most of us don’t want our beer company to tell us what to think.

I agree the potential/likely response should have been better thought through from the marketing perspective, but at the same time, I think the backlash says something sad about these times, and is pretty indicative of how divided we are along many fronts.

[@woodruffwoods]

You are correct l, those cans were just made for the tic tok personality. I am torn about what I think about the backlash. I think if they had set this up better then the backlash would have been minimal. I don’t think their existing customer base ever expected this from a beer company much less this one. We are a very divided country but this hit their customers in a way that violated their values and morals. That is a tough pill for anyone. I do worry that our country is tearing apart at the seams.

I think bud light and biden are and should be on like you there Way out in America let's go Brandon

[@woodruffwoods]

The point of the video is an analysis of the poor business decision AB made. I suppose you only heard what you wanted to hear and it shows. Cheers.

No I heard you woodruff woods you can drink all the bud light you want I hope they send you bud light for life but as for me that dude won't represent anything I mean anything I have to do with and nether do you

[@woodruffwoods]

@@stephenbarrett3763 and you don’t represent me either. You obviously know nothing about me and have no comprehension of the message of this video. If you think that this video was about supporting the decision to use Mulvany in a promotion then you totally missed the point. Seriously, 8000 views and you are the only one who didn’t get it. Wow.

[@woodruffwoods]

[@dansimmons5796]

Will never buy their products again ever dilly dilly

[@woodruffwoods]

I see the VP of Marketing is now gone so that is one step in the right direction. If they do a real apology I may accept it this one time. I do think this is an important issue. I have had enough of companies ignoring what is important to their customers and Bud is feeling that pinch.
