The Bud Light Boycott Didn't Just Destroy Bud Light -- It Reduced the Entire Beer Industry's Sales by 5%

The boycott of Bud Light has hurt the entire brewing industry. Alas.

he beer industry has had a brutal year marked by boycotts against Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev, shifting consumer behavior and plummeting sales -- and it's only going to get worse.
U.S. beer shipments dropped by more than 5% over the first nine months of 2023, according to data compiled by Beer Marketer's Insights. By the end of the year, shipments are expected to fall to their lowest level in 25 years, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Part of that is due to a long-telegraphed shift of consumer tastes as consumers -- especially younger ones -- ditch alcohol over health concerns. Gallup, which has asked American adults about their alcohol consumption since 2001, found in an August survey that adults under 35 years old were the only group to actually lower their consumption.
Gallup also found that although beer is the most popular type of alcohol beverage among Americans, that status is in decline as liquor gains ground. In addition, consumers have more options, often substituting canned cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages for beer.

So, Bud Light did have a problem: People are drinking less beer. But not because they don't see enough trannies with their own bespoke Bud Light cans. Because people are avoiding carbohydrates where they can, and unless you love the taste and ritual associated with beer, then beer is the easiest bucket of carbs you can avoid.

I haven't drank a beer in... well, okay I did have one Coors Light a few months ago as my act of defiance against Bud Light, but before that it's been years and years.

It's now just a meme that "beer makes you fat." I'm going to buy my first bottle of rye or whiskey soon. It'll be Bullet, because I hear good things and I like the name.

And hard liquor, for all its faults, is lower carb.

This is another case of a company that's going broke -- well, seeing declining sales, while not actually going broke at all -- and going woke thinking that will fix things, and then actually going broke because the cohort they've decided to pander to is not only incredibly small but would never, ever buy their product.

People avoiding beer for health reasons are not going to buy Bud Light because they approve of its woke embrace of evangelical transgenderism. These two things have nothing to do with eachother. Non c'entra, as the Italians say. Transgender propaganda doesn't enter into it.

If they wanted to reclaim part of the customer base that is avoiding beer for health reasons, they could have just put more money into advertising Michelob Ultra, formerly my favorite low-carb, easily-available beer.

Or they could have created some new bottled spirit that was made up of a little vodka, some carbonated water, and a sugar-free sweetener.

Instead, they did what they all do, which is to say "Let's pander to a microscopic fraction of the population which will never in 1000 years buy our product!"

This is yet another case of a company which has a declining but still profit-granting customer base -- like comic books were years ago -- and deciding that the right move is to alienate all of their current customers to chase a Phantom Customer Base that does not exist.

Have trannies and Gen Zers rushed to make up for the huge declines in the sale of Bud Light due to millions of people dropping it like a bad habit? No, of course not. Of course not. Just like an army of diverse autistic lesbians and transgenders did not rush in to buy comic books just because Marvel and DC hired diverse autistic lesbians and transgenders to write what were formerly boy's action and adventure fantasies.

If men are drinking less beer, try harder to appeal to men, the traditional beer drinkers. And traditionalist men, too, because traditionalist men will keep drinking beer despite faddish, flighty concerns about its carb content.

But corporations hate men and hate traditionalist men especially.

They just would rather go bankrupt than pander to Those People.

So, like DC and Marvel comics, Bud Light is now on the glide-path to extinction.

But they'll keep doing it.

Until they all go broke.

ah yeah. So why not just make a White Claw competitor?

Why attempt to get trendy leftwing young women to drink a bro-associated party beer by... hiring a transgender influencer?

But they keep doing this because they only WANT to market to leftwing people. They think it's slumming to sell to right-leaning, traditionalist men.

They would rather go broke than resign themselves to serving Those People.

It's possible that since the dunces at Bud have infected their entire company with DEI that this is a one-way ticket.

They wanted kids to get molested by drag queens, so they're gonna have to atone and pay for that, literally.

It's part of the bargain, they lose money but have more DEI.

I did notice new Bud Light ads during FB games have rich white guys like Peyton Manning all over.

That goes directly against the tenets of DEI.

They instead need to have stupid white guys taking orders from black guys or women, and looking like idiots while the blacks are portrayed as what the DEIdiots think white people are.

What a mess.

But either way..... if it's dollars, it's straight up Bidenflation. If it's gallons, it's because Bidenflation is making people spend more of their cash on necessities and less on frivolities like alcohol.

Citrus flavored hops and hazy has been the the biggest share of the small brewery craft beer industry new product for a couple years now.

Everybody made fun of Zima in the day, but light fruit flavor cheap alcohol ingredient not-beer carbonated beverage is where the market is headed and what the young folks drink.

Soon, like me, they will be doing the inevitable Value-Rite vodka mixed powdered lemonade with a little water.

At least, that's what I tell the pigeons under the overpass down by the river and they all agree.

97 Angel's Envy Bourbon. The angel's wings are etched so you can see them through the bottle. A small batch / local Bourbon has (IIRC) an etched scene of a moonshine rig in the woods with a creek. You can only really see it by looking through the bottle when full.

There are others. I'm into my third Whiskey Sour so it might take a few minutes to find them.

Part of why it's "everyone's" favorite beer is because "everyone" is increasingly FROM Mexico.

104 Larceny is a good enough bourbon, and usually can be found for under $30 a bottle. Buffalo Trace used to be the best bargain in single malts until Joe Rogan started drinking it on his podcast. Now it's hard to find and always overpriced when you do manage to stumble upon a bottle.

115 It is rather fascinating.

In the case of the MCU, the problem became "yes, but". They are making billions of $. But how can they grow the brand, even more? Well, what groups aren't watching Infinity War? A small group of diverse autistic lesbians and transgenders, as well as Disney princess fanatics and white suburban cat ladies. Okay how can we make Marvel appeal to them too? I know, put one in every show....

Why do you think The Marvels have all those damn cats?

Getting 70-80% of the public to buy your shit is a monumental achievement but there is also some idiot who thinks they can make it 100%.

247 My anecdotal evidence shows Modelo selling out at local grocery stores while Lite from Millerand Coord have been in much higher demand than usual since all this began. Yuengling has to be at record sales but as a private company their numbers are likely not fully available.

What is clear is stores stubbornly give Bud Light and ANB products so much shelf space still. They should be. Embarrassed how tho unsold product piles stand out. They refuse to reduce the shelf space no matter what.

Btw. A pet peeve of mine is every so often on conservative sites someone says Anheuser Bush InBev owns Modelo corona so switching to those beers serve no purpose. That is well intentioned, fake news. Modelo and corona is sold by an American company, constellation brands in the United States. They produce it, distribute it, and sell it.

Yes, the parent of Bud Light owns Modelo and Corona sales in other countries, but not in the US.

Twenty-five percent of Americans say it is “probably” or “definitely” true that the FBI instigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, a false concept promoted by right-wing media and repeatedly denied by federal law enforcement, according to a new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll...a smaller 11 percent of the public overall thinks there is “solid evidence” that FBI operatives organized and encouraged the attack, while 13 percent say this is their “suspicion only.”

results confirm misinformation about Jan. 6 is widespread as the United States heads into an election year, during a campaign in which the former president and leading 2024 Republican candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed support for those who participated in the insurrection. Despite a detailed congressional investigation and more than 725 completed federal prosecutions of Jan. 6 participants that did not yield evidence of FBI involvement, a substantial minority of Americans still embrace conspiracy theories not unlike the ones that drove many rioters to storm the Capital...

276 Btw. A pet peeve of mine is every so often on conservative sites someone says Anheuser Bush InBev owns Modelo corona so switching to those beers serve no purpose. That is well intentioned, fake news. Modelo and corona is sold by an American company, constellation brands in the United States. They produce it, distribute it, and sell it.

Yes, the parent of Bud Light owns Modelo and Corona sales in other countries, but not in the US.
Posted by: Quint at January 04, 2024 06:13 PM (R5SGb)

Wouldn't matter if it were true, they can't just instantly switch all the factories making one brand into the other overnight, or expand one you switch to. The fact that you now have no brand loyalty hurts all of them, even the competitors since they can't plan for the new situation until it settles down, if it does. And as the article implies, a good fraction will switch to something else, or to no beer at all in the bargain.

Go to a bar and you're dropping at least $20-$25/person, gotta get there and back, and the younger crowd sucks at tipping. So, yeah, substituting weed for beer.

363 I ain't paid for a haircut in at least 2 decades. One of the benefits of male pattern baldness. Just me and a Braun clipper on the zero setting every month or so.

I pay far more attention to my beard.

367 I have had to surrender to a shampoo in the current place, but its still about 20-25 bucks. I let them sell me some crap shampoo that was terrible. Its getting hard to find cheap shampoo that just cleans the hair.

Try getting your wife or girlfriend to shampoo you. Bet it costs more than 25 dollars in the end, and I get a haircut.

369 I got lucky when I moved here. There's a local old school barbershop that I use: cash only, $12 for a haircut, $5 for a straight razor shave, Andy Griffith on the tv, and the barber has a prosthetic leg.

373 I went to retrieve my wife from her hair salon some time ago. It was the end of the day and her stylist noted that I needed a haircut so she said "give me five mins and I will give you the same haircut your barber gives you."

She did and did not even charge me.

However, before she cut my hair she had her hair washer wash my hair. During the hair washing there's a five minute scalp massage. For three of those mins I was thinking of how I could maybe go home with the hair washing girl

Good picks with Laphroig and Turk. My faves are Laphroig cask strength, and then the Triple Wood.

I didn’t know there was a “best” Blended Canadian. J.k.

377 #40 "I'll try whisky or rye." Um, not to be pedantic, but rye is a type of whisky. It uses rye as the fermented grain as opposed to, just for example, corn which, if at least 50%, makes bourbon.

378 Anheuser-Busch has seltzer and spirits-based seltzers. Bud Light seltzer, Mich Ultra seltzer, and of course their craft beer lines have seltzers. But the big one is Nutrl.

Nutrl is a vodka based seltzer A-B brand, and is absolutely crushing it in sales. It's probably their biggest success in years, and it's avoided the backlash against their other brands. Right now, boycotting Nutrl would do more damage to A-B than even continuing to boycott Bud Light. They're launching a tequila - based extension this year. It would be amazing to see that get caught up in the boycott and fail hard. After the initial investment cost, it would demolish their revenue for the year before spring was over.

383 Fun mixed drink: one part Irish cream, one part coffee liquor, one part nut liqueur (personally prefer a pecan liqueur, but amaretto works too). Fill out the rest with a mix whole milk and heavy cream to taste.

Basically a butter pecan coffee mixed drink, cut down to a wine or beer potency with milk.

384 Bulleit is decent for the price. Their rye is ok. It's got a strong licorice flavor, so if you're into that you'll love it.
It was my go-to for a couple years until I stumbled onto Woodford Reserve rye. Highly satisfied with it - definitely recommend.

385 If your are serious about whiskey, then try to find a bottle of George Dickel White Label. Seriously good for the money, distilled right here in Tennessee and as American as you can get.
And much better, IMHO, than Bullet.

387 Here's what I think is going on here: most people in marketing are incompetent idiots. Not necessarily malicious, but definitely incompetent. Most people in marketing are also women, and women are solipsistic.

Because they're incompetent, they don't know the basic rule of marketing - it's ten times easier to sell to people who are already customers - and they think the way to expand the market is into demographics that don't currently consume their product. Ignoring that there are good reasons why those demographics aren't already buying.

Because they're incompetent, they don't know who their customer base is or why they choose their brand; as solipsistic women they assume Everyone Is Them and so they create campaigns that target...themselves. Even if their bosses are male, again - incompetent. A grifter tells them that the untapped female housewife market will totes buy their product if they put a drag queen on it and they jump on it.
