This is a fair representation of Bud Light:


And, now a what Yuengling Light is all about:



Seriously, which beer would you rather be drinking?

I have been trying to find what the latest numbers are regarding their losses. The most recent that I could find was back in April at a 4-billion-dollar loss. I would like to know where it is now.

So would everybody.  The truth is, there is no way of knowing this right now and here's why.  InBev is pulling out all the stops to push their beer out to the retailers. We've all seen this stuff sitting around in grocery store isles, etc.  But, where is it going? 

Just yesterday, I saw the Bud-light van dropping off more Bud Light to Winn-Dixie, when it already had the stuff stacked up in the isles - again, where is it going?  What king of shenanigans is InBev playing to hide the true fall-out from this?  I am sure they would like this loss to be some kind of one-quarter write-down, and then make it look like its sales numbers miraculously bounced back.  So, it will be at least a year to see what the true fall-out is.

Can the Boycott sustain a year?  I do think that they have lost real numbers and customers here that InBev will not recover.
 

Yuengling is the only beer sold by the cheapest store in my area (Total Wines) that still costs under a dollar a bottle.
I think I prefer the taste of both the various Brazilian beers (Imperio/Tijuca/Itaipava) made by Cervejeria Petrolpolis that were on sala at Uncle Bucks, and Moosehead lager.

All the Brazilian beers are foamier and a bit sweeter than Yuenling. Moosehead is sweeter and only a little bit foamier.

I have never liked "light/ lite" beer. Budweiser is also the name of a pretty good Czech beer that is rather expensive.

The idea of choosing a brand of beer for political reasons seems stupid to me.

I read that they're actually giving away beer to some retailers so they can put it on sale

I suspect that they are giving away beer to retailers as well.  However I doubt they will want to see these retailers put it on sale, or at least not just yet.

Don't forget Just 2 months ago, articles were coming out about how InBev was successful at pushing Beer prices higher "due to inflation".  This was a big deal.  So, InBev is going to be very concerned about retailers deep-discounting its Budweiser products just to get rid of it.  That will hurt the brand every bit as much as Dylan Mulvaney has.   Sure, InBev will eventually need to go there, because Beer does not last forever.  They can either destroy it or slash prices. 

What do you think they will do???

I heard 5 Billion Dollar loss & 26% down...... & getting worse.
The boycotting is not stopping.

This is the very LEAST important issue that has been harped on in this forum.

Of course you are going to say that. Your perversion continues to be exposed and that doesn't make you happy. Trying to deter from it won't help you all.

I went back to my Colorado Kool-Aid.                 Coors.
If I was in Boston I would drink Sam Adams.
My poker beer is free casino Coronas w/ salt & lime.
But I don't drink much at a poker-table.
