If we're being honest, all beer is an acquired taste. Nobody on this board said "hot damn that's awesome!!" the first time they took a swig....especially of a light beer. Yes, BL, CL, and ML all have a different taste. But it doesn't take long to acquire it. If someone was moved enough to get rid of their BL, the transition isn't a difficult one. They're not THAT different.
Budlite was my go to at bars back in the day when I ran around 5 points. But that was 20 years ago and I don’t drink beer anymore.
I don’t get why everyone is boycotting the product because the company put a transgender person on a special run of bottles. Whats the big deal?

Bud Light (or any light beer for that matter) is an abomination.
As I heard before, Light Beer is like the sex in a canoe joke. It's close to f**king water.

That's a loaded question sure to get this thread deleted. All I'll say is that it's not just some rando trans person. It's a person that spends their time on all forms of social media targeting young children, even pretending to be a young teenaged girl at times. To me, that's the biggest issue.
Well, those who have decided to boycott Anheuser-Busch must be sure to recognize:
1. Corona is a brand of beer produced by Mexican brewery Cervecería Modelo and owned by Belgian company AB InBev.
2. Stella Artois is owned by Interbrew International B.V. which is a subsidiary of the world's largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV.
3. Beck's is another international brand owned by Anheuser-Busch.
4. And, should you travel to Mexico, realize Modelo is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev everywhere except the U.S., where it's owned by New York-based Constellation Brands.

Not sure if the formula or taste has changed much, when I drank a lot of beer about 30 years ago:
Bud Light was the beer of choice for me and most friends, seemed to have the best taste, however as we all know beer is an acquired taste.
Coors Light was like making love in a canoe, b/c it was effing close to water! We actually drank Coors Light when we wanted to say we drank a whole bunch of beer.
Miller Lite seemed to be the choice of old golfers, and one of my best friends who was my age and never played golf. It didn't have much taste at all to me. I would drink this as a last resort.
These days, I like craft, non-IPA, beer in much less quantity. My favorite of all time was Pete's Wicked Ale, which they stopped making long ago.

My guess is folks that have boycotted AB aren't partaking much in 1-4.

In Before The Lock
I used to drink and I like Yuengling.
Not buying A-B and P&G (due to Gillette ad).
Go broke with woke.

This just proves if people just stood strong together they can make change with all most anything. Let’s use YouTube TV as an example.. if we all cancelled our subscription they would absolutely lower the price to either get us back or attract new customers. When it first launched I believe I was paying like $35 dollars and now it’s all most doubled that and it probably doesn’t cost anymore to maintain the services as it did at $35.
AB brands are very easy to avoid and with little effort - why support stupid, or "in your face on purpose" marketing.
I look at it as lack of financial support rather than a boycott.
I wouldn’t drink that stuff if it was free. They wanted to appeal to a crowd other than older males, so the woke people can drink it. Not woke and proud of it. I don’t hate anyone, am not a bigot/racist but that’s the kind of venom THEY spew.
I don't drink Bud Light. If I'm watching a football game with longtime friends we will sometimes get Busch Light as a nod to our youth when we couldn't afford more expensive beer. If I boycott my consumption of any beer, they will miss my estimated annual $100 purchase.
One confusing aspect of the marketing strategy was celebrating "all" women during March Madness. Given the controversies surrounding transgenders competing in women's sports, the timing for promoting seems strange just for that reason.

Can't stand that pisswater. I got like 20 breweries within 10 miles of my house. If I buy their product by the case, I get really good, fresh beer at a decent price. My home brew friends make awesome beer too.
Bud Light is garbage . . . I don't know why would anyone would waste their money on that junk.
You ever try chugging an IPA on a hot day after mowing the lawn? Light beer has its place in this world - kind of like fast food. But also like fast food - it should be enjoyed sparingly.
They have a Colorado identity, regardless of where corporate management now resides. They don't want to swing overtly Right.
If anyone does want to boycott Budweiser(I do), they have a long list of other related products. You may not know some are Bud products so you may want to review the list. Plenty of other stuff out there. I read somewhere that Coors may be pretty woke also but don’t know if that’s true or not.
well I remember last year ESPN raised their price to YTTV. so i guess maybe it could cost them more to provide the services
Always drank natty light and bush light( yes i like cheap beer)...but will no longer buy those products...moved to yeungling
I like beer. That said I rarely drink it anymore because it packs the pounds on. Given that I like the taste of beer, light beers are not usually on the menu. Between Bud Light and Miller Lite, the latter has more taste, though not great. So my answer is I was anti-Bud Light (and light beers in general) way ahead of the curve. If I really liked it I probably would not engage in a boycott. Since it tastes like water it's easy to avoid. A-B is basically disowning the who situation, saying it was done by an independent ad agency.
I greatly prefer some craft beer with taste. I like IPAs. But I've determined it's easier to keep the weight off with straight bourbon, if you can keep yourself from going crazy on the stuff. I can't really drink heavily without feeling ill, so I do pretty well with bourbon in moderation. Also, I'm on a good health kick and seeing the benefits.
Anheuser-Busch distributor blames ad agency for Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light campaign
"We need to clarify the facts that this was one can, one influencer, one post and not a campaign," CEO Michel Doukeris said.justthenews.com
You said, "Between Bud Light and Miller Lite, the latter has more taste..."
Kinda reminded me of the now old "Less Filling vs Taste Great" commercials from back in the 80's...
I drink beer. I drank Bud Lite. Bud Lite is a good cheap light beer. I like a light beer. I won’t drink any more A-B products. These liberal fuckheads pull this **** all the time. Don’t drink Coke anymore either.
I thought BL tasted like crap always. Never buy it anyway nor have I. I hope you aren’t naive enough to think this is about a trans drinking it in public. It’s way bigger than that.
Most people used to have a live and let live approach….until others start trying to shove their agenda down your throat. So if you think someone’s sexual preference is more important than your business…be prepared to pay the price. I have an idea, don’t piss off half your customer base and stay away from woke ads.
They had nothing to gain, but plenty to lose.
And now the push back from the other side: begins

What's Bud Light's move here? They've got to pick a side. Neutrality is not allowed. Both sides want total capitulation.
Chicago gay bar will REFUSE to sell Bud Light
The Chicago gay bar, 2Bears Tavern Group, announced on Thursday they will no longer serve Bud Light after the beer company's 'abandoned' support of their partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.
