Some retailers are taking drastic steps by dropping prices on Bud Light as the backlash continues after the beer brand partnered with a transgender social media influencer, according to The New York Times.
Retailers that carry Bud Light are having trouble selling the beer, with one retailer having to sell the product for cheaper than water, according to the NYT. Conservatives began to boycott the brand in April after the company partnered with Dylan Mulvaney by creating customized cans with Mulvaney’s face on them.
“At this point, it’s cheaper than some of the cases of water we’re selling in the back,” said Andy Wagner, manager at Glenn Miller’s Beer & Soda Warehouse, according to the NYT. “It’s just not moving like it used to.”
Wagner noted that Bud Light sales at the store were down 45% compared to a year ago, the NYT reported. A 30-pack of Miller Lite at the store sells for $24.99 compared to a 30-pack of Bud Light, which sells for $8.99 after a rebate.
Total Bud Light sales continue to plummet, with sales the week of June 17 falling almost 30% compared to the same week last year. Modelo Especial surpassed Bud Light as America’s top-selling beer at the end of May.

“We, too, at Bama Budweiser are upset about it and have made our feelings known to the top leadership at Anheuser-Busch,” said Steve Tatum, general manager of Bama Budweiser, a family-owned independent wholesaler, in a commercial addressing the backlash, according to the NYT.

Two top Anheuser-Busch marketing executives, Vice President for Marketing Daniel Blake and Bud Light Marketing Vice President Alissa Heinerscheid, were placed on leave following the controversy and now no longer work for the brand, according to texts obtained by the Daily Caller.
Anheuser-Busch, parent company of Bud Light, did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s hard to believe it’s really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women’s competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women’s prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women’s scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.
Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current “mass hysteria” craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel “persistently sad or hopeless” and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.
All of this on top of the radical left’s renewed obsession with killing women’s unborn babies via abortion.
The “woke” left’s maniacal attack on women and girls, virtually unreported by the rest of the media, is the entire focus of the sensational June issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE LEFT’S TOTAL WAR ON WOMEN.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
