In recent weeks, Anheuser-Busch, the international company behind Bud Light, has faced backlash due to a controversial marketing campaign featuring transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. As a result, sales have slumped, and the company has lost billions in market value. While boycotts are often associated with the left, many conservatives are also choosing to vote with their wallets.
Anheuser-Busch has long been associated with blue-collar, middle American consumers. However, by taking a stand in the culture war, the company has alienated a significant portion of its customer base. This has led to a surge of Bud Light products left untouched on store shelves.
Although other beer companies have celebrated LGBT Pride Month in the past, the partnership with Mulvaney has struck a chord with many who feel it crosses a line. For those participating in the boycott, it’s essential to know the full extent of Anheuser-Busch’s drink catalog to make informed choices at the store.

As the weekend approaches and Americans decide on their drink of choice, it’s crucial to consider the implications of supporting certain brands. For those who opt to avoid alcohol entirely, that’s a commendable choice. However, if you do decide to enjoy a cold beer while remaining committed to your values, choose wisely and always drink responsibly.
