Updated JANUARY 2023... Well before the recent kerfuffle... Sales are waaay down since then...

And it is no longer to top selling beer in the US...

Bud Light no longer America's top selling beer

Anheuser-Busch gross profit for the twelve months ending March 31, 2023 was $31.931B, a 1.68% increase year-over-year. Anheuser-Busch annual gross profit for 2022 was $31.481B, a 0.88% increase from 2021.

All of that was BEFORE this latest fustercluck...

Let's see how they do for the 12 months ending March 31, 2024...

Well......Here's a Cut and paste from Forbes. Wall Street apparently think the Clydesdales will still be fed:
Despite the company’s stock slide, Wall Street remains fairly bullish on Anheuser-Busch; the nearly three dozen analysts surveyed by FactSet have an average price target of about $67 for the stock, implying roughly 25% upside and projecting it to hit its pre-controversy level.

Bud sells many brands. Bud Light has lost many customers who won't succumb to Tranny Tyranny.

They’ve only lost the bigots. I was at Ski Beach just 2 days ago and nearly everyone at the bar was drinking bud lite including the red loving person I was with. Difference? They don’t watch Fox or perhaps they’re just good, happy people.

Tell you what... Dump a bunch of $$$ into the stock and let me know how that works out for you...

FOX News! Everybody drink! (but not Bud Light...)


P.S. What do you call the people who tried (and failed) to boycott Chick-fil-A? Were they also "bigots"? Or is that term reserved only for people you don't agree with?

How about the NFL boycott? Huge flop!

Best not make a stand against pedophilia lest you be called a bigot. What an upside down world.

The natural maturing process is problematic enough for our youth of today without the additional emotional burden and confusion created by this craziness.

Agree. You can put all of the Ford parts on a Chevy you want. It doesn't make it a Ford.

Which time and for what reason?

If the boycott was in protest of Chick-fil-A's (CfA's) association with a particular group or refusal to denounce a particular group - basically if they wanted to boycott because the store refused to join them in their hate then yes, I would call them bigots as well.

Are you trying to portray the LGBTQ community as all pedophiles? If so, then I believe the saying starts, "if the shoe fits...."

Some do tend to read things that are not there. Perhaps that is something that needs to explored with someone schooled in the topic?
It is hard to defend against pedophilia, so it is understandable that those who are guilty of, or support such a thing, would want to pull in gay and lesbian into the mix to cloud the waters. The truth is, very few care if someone is hetero or homo. What people do care about is stopping the sickness where grown men and women feel the need to come out to six year old children, or discuss personal sexual topics with kids. There are actually people who are protesting Fl's law that teachers can not discuss their sexual orientation with little kids. Protect Children and Protect Real Women. While Florida is banning children from attending drag shows, states like California are pushing a bill to take children away from parents who refuse to get their five year old gender surgery or give them puberty blockers.

So that I do not again get accused of reading things that are not there, what in the world are you trying to say with your comments about pedophilia? Was it just a public service announcement or did it somehow relate to this thread?

Are you aware that there is no FL law that prohibits teachers from discussing their sexual orientation with kids of any age, at least according to the sponsors? But add me to your list of those opposed to the poorly-written, and poorly-considered Don't Say Gay laws.
