InBev beers, particularly Budweiser and Bud Light, are not selling in Grocery stores.  Walk down the beer isle at many grocery stores across the nation and you will see 24 packs of InBev beverages stacked up in front of the Beer Cooler.  So, what's going on here?  I'll try to explain:

• The fallout from the Bud Light Tranny-Beer ad is bad.  Not just a little bad, but earth-shatteringly bad.  Bankruptcy bad.  That's how bad it is.  People are leaving boxes of tampons on top of Budweiser Beers.
• Now, this space in front of the Beer Cooler is expensive grocery store space.  So, why are stores doing this?  Why not return the beer or leave it in the warehouse?
• Budweiser Beer distributors need to move product.  However, they cannot discount their product - not just yet.  They need to push product out to the grocery store beer isles all across the nation.  That's step 1.
• Distributors are paying for grocery stores to stack InBev product in the Beer Isle. These "promotional payments" do not show up in the gross sales numbers for the Distributors or for InBev.  InBev is funding these promotionals through the distributors. Right now it is being funded by huge credits for free or discounted products in the future.
• The grocery store shelf life for beer is about 2 months.  After that, they can still sell it, but they will need to discount it to move it.
• The Tranny-Budweiser storm isn't going to blow over - InBev realizes this now.  But, they still need to move beer before it goes out-of-date.  They need this stuff in the isles of Grocery Stores.  They are PAYING for placement right now.
• The Grocery Stores will discount this beer, incrementally, until they get rid of it.  This will be paid for by InBev.
• Whatever doesn't sell by the sale date will be repurchased by InBev through its distributors, if.....IF the companies are still profitable.

Much of the way this is being paid for by InBev is to make it look like its sales numbers haven't really been impacted in the upcoming quarterly reports. They will tag these huge payments in a line-item under "promotions".  The most important thing for InBev to do right now is try to make it look like none of this has impacted its sales. 

Just remember - you heard it here first!

Deep discounting will work to move product.  I think that's what InBev and its distributors are setting this up for.  At some price, people will buy cheap tranny beer.  Watch.

Years ago the Busch family of beers was marketed as Anheuser Busch's flagship brand and Budweiser was the "cheap" sub premium.

Budweiser started outselling Busch because of the price point, and the brands eventually flipped in the marketing structure to where they are today.

Miller experienced something similar in the mid 70's with the introduction of Miller Lite. Miller ended up taking a back seat to Lite primarily because of the price point... and now regular Miller gold is considered a "sub" premium brand with Lite being the flagship.

I can see the same happening to Bud and Bud Light.

I actually prefer Miller High Life, but then I saw how many calories it had.  Switched to Miller Lite.

Until the Bud Light Tranny-ad, I had been drinking Bud Light when I would go out.

Regular Miller is good if it's ice cold and stays ice cold to the last swig.

We used to buy the Miller pony bottles all the time because you could knock them out on just a few swigs and it didn't have time to warm up on ya.


 
 

Advertising Bud Light as being the King of *** Beer wasn't a good move....it was the type of move you would see from a *** company that employs *** leadership who's more interested in publicly masturbating in a virtue signaling stupor over it's preferred customer types...*** and the mentally ill degenerates.



I truly hope this opinion, however factual as it is, doesn't offend anyone that it's not intended to offend

I don't think so, cheap tranny beer is still tranny beer... they won't get rid of that image, no one with any self respect wants to be seen drinking that...

See?

Well, a couple of things about that:

• I'm not an alcoholic looking to score some cheap-*** beer
• If I was an alcoholic looking to score some cheap-*** beer and Butt Light went on sale for $.25/can - - I might go woke tranny on ya.  

no one with any self respect wants to be seen drinking that...

Anyone who judges a person by the beer they drink is a total imbecile.

Alcoholics may not care as long as it's cheap but that won't save Bud Light, the brand is doomed...

@ScottMon  we were talking about the differences between how progressives protest vs how the right protests The right don't need personal attention. They don't need to go whine in the streets demanding to pay attention to you all. The whole "Me! Me! Me!" "I am offended, pay attention to me!!!" The right does it in a way that works. They go after their pocketbook. That's how you get companies to pay attention. The right simply stopped buying their beer. Now, Bud is in a financial crisis. Consequently, they are responding in attempt to save themselves from bankruptcy. That's how it's done. You guys need to put your egos aside, and do what works, not what's emotional. 
 

I only drink New Belgium IPAs...no idea who owns them

The New Belgium IPAs are great. Try the Juicy Haze IPA if you can find it. I almost like it better than the regular Voodoo Ranger myself.

They were once a 100% employee owned company with two breweries in the US, but not sure about now. I don't believe that InBev has anything to with production or distribution though. I checked back when AB decided to put the freak on their cans.

I do know that they completely reformulated Fat Tire a year or so ago without telling anybody they were doing it, and it ruffled a few feathers, but the best I know all the IPAs are the same as they've always been.

I have tried them all.  Juicy Force and Juicy Haze are my favorites.

 

Two products where brand identity counts with men is beer and vehicles. It shows how out of touch marxists are with normal people.

White House On Backlash From Dylan Mulvaney's Bud Light Ad: 'Needs To Stop'

The White House said the attacks on transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney "has to stop" after the TikToker partnered with Bud Light. "When a transgender American posts a video about a brand of beer that they enjoy and it leads to bomb threats, it's clear that that level of violence ... has to stop," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday
