Anheuser-Busch Inbev said Tuesday that revenue growth in most of its global regions was offset by a drop in North American sales, in a sign of continuing fallout from a promotion with a transgender influencer that cost it sales.
The world’s largest brewer and parent company of Bud Light said adjusted earnings for the latest quarter rose 4.1% to $5.4 billion on revenues that climbed 5% to $15.6 billion.
Revenue in the United States for the July-September period, however, tumbled 13.5%. AB InBev, based in Leuven, Belgium, noted that sales to retailers were down “primarily due to the volume decline of Bud Light.”
Bud Light sales plunged amid a conservative backlash after the brand sent a commemorative can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in early April.
Bud Light was already a joke for being bad.
American Light Macro-Lagers are popular because they’re cheap. But if you want to try one I’d recommend Coors Light over Bud Light. Also the US is hotter and a light beer is best when you’ve been out in 100°F heat for a while.
But if you want something better there are tons of other breweries all around the country. You’d probably have a hard time getting anything from the smaller ones in europe but you can probably get something from one of the larger ones like Shiner.
Hmm, Greece, Italy and Spain would like a word with Minnesota, Wyoming and Maine. And let’s not even mention Alaska
For some reason I was picturing they were in the UK
Yep UK’s certainly not sweltering, although we have gone over 100f on five occasions, all in the last 3 years (and all in the south east of England which is our warmest region)
What’s the humidity been on those occasions? I assume being an island it’s somewhat humid but since the water around y’all is probably colder than the Gulf of Mexico I’d think that would mitigate it some.
I couldn’t say scientifically but it’s generally not felt that humid. We do get what we call ‘muggy’ days where you can feel a storm brewing, but often the hottest days are drier.
I’ve experienced real heat and humidity in Northern Australia and we never get those levels in the uk.
Yep. GTA 4 came out in 2008 - 15 years ago - and features the beer brand “Pißwasser”, which is clearly mocking Budweiser’s name and branding - particularly Bud Light’s. It’s been a joke for a long time.
