Weeks later, Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Michel Doukeris told investors in a call that there was no partnership with Mulvaney and that only “one can” was produced with Mulvaney’s face. In a subsequent Financial Times interview, Doukeris claimed that the slumping Bud Light sales were sparked by social media-driven “misinformation.”

...

Continuing, the CEO said that people believed it was a campaign. “It was not: it was one post. It was not an advertisement,” he remarked, contradicting the #budlightpartner hashtag that Mulvaney had written.

More evidence that the "media" can't even get the simple stuff right.

Show me 'beer cans' in that photo;

I recall reading a statement from the ceo saying that bud Light is a small portion of their business so it is insignificant. ...no problem then.

However, if they are desperate enough to give out rebates aka free beer, then I have no problem taking some free beer..

InBev market cap is down 10 billion so far

Many Bud Light fans (former?) are smart enough to know what other brands are under Anheuser-Busch and are opting out of those as well.

Ab execs can say whatever they want, but the pain is being felt all across the board.

Too bad they also have foreign markets like Japan.  Go to a Waikiki ABC store and see how much higher the Budweiser products are marked up.  Japanese visitors love it.

When I went to Japan for work, the local US military base was having a community appreciation day.  The sports field was surrounded by all the units stationed there each selling food and beverages -- especially beer.  The locals were buying Budweiser by the case, I'm sure in part to sell and make money.  It was crazy.

I guess AB has that American-style marketing in all countries.  i wonder if Dylan is planning a world tour?   

If anybody sees one of those $20 rebate things, LMK
IIRC, I've never tried Bud Light before because I rarely drink beer.

I looked and looked. 

Kroger and Target stores are your best bet in other states.  i checked the 2023 Super Bowl rebate rules, and Hawaii was not in the list of states that could redeem the coupons/QR codes.

FYI.

Sounds like discrimination to me.
It's OK, I got a few lawyers on speed dial.

BL, maybe. But people also know the other brands that AB sold and boycotted those as well.

He sounds like Jean.

He is deflecting the issue as if people are upset at a 'single can with his face.'

The issue is the fact they chose to partner with this joke of a transgender at all.  AB only looked at the label "trans" and the number of followers to try and bring those followers into the AB fold of consumers.

If they'd bothered to research, they would have seen Mulvaney for what he is: an attention-seeking influencer on social media who only transitioned for clicks and fame.  He is an actor portraying the most irritating characakture of a woman.  He acts like a gay man more than any woman I've ever known.  Also, his followers are mostly teens in the 15 year old range.  Trying to market alcoholic beverages to underage kids isn't the best look for AB.

So, screw that "only one can" attempt at downplaying the real issue.  We all know better.

I heard a Target store in Portland was "swarmed' by a group of about 60 shoplifters.

The only thing left were the work boots and Bud Light ...   

If they dropped the price, people here would buy it.
But given the regular price, I drank some Corona Premium last night.
