Alpo Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Bud is giving free beer to their distributors, trying to get the distributors to order more Bud light. Or any Bud light. https://www.businessinsider.com/bud-light-wholesale-sellers-free-case-beer-dylan-mulvaney-backlash-2023-5?amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I would love some of that action. Have you ever shot a can of warm beer with a CCI Stinger? Fun times! You could also get some PVC pipe and make a beer cannon then launch beers so your friends could shoot “BLeet” - Bud Light Skeet or “BLap” - Bud Light Trap. It would just depend on how much room you have to play. The scrap aluminum could be sold by the pound to offset ammo costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean purchasing Bud Light thereby supporting Anheuser Busch...no thanks. I try not to support companies that support things that I strongly disagree with. That list is VERY long.

Rip Snorter Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Strange thing, though, I was at the Friends of the NRA dinner and some guys were buying and drinking it. My favorite country bar and grill still sells some, and I guarantee there isn't a liberal anywhere near. Never cared for light beers, or any Bud product, so no hardship. Everyone has their own standards and reactions to offense. I tend to be pretty one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hand Bill Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I wondered when they would have an issue with too much beer on hand. Beer has a finite shelf life and the huge drop in demand means they probably have a lot sitting around. When you hear of bars going from 2 kegs a week to 2 bottles, that’s a huge problem for the brewer. I expect the bud light business is built on turns and it’s not turning right now. I am sure it’s hurting them more than they admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat, I admit I stole this from Alpo. As a Scot I am offended that you think we might drink light beer. Only single malt for any good Scot. So there!

Bad beer is better than no beer. As far as the taste, there are times, say after being out setting fence posts or such, that having something light, cvold, and mildly alcoholic that you can just knock back rather than sip is quite welcome.

Calling SDJ and his google fu please. Regards Gateway Kid PS I don’t drink Anheiser Busch products as growing up we referred to them as “buttwiper” beer due to their beechwood aging process. Never could develop a liking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wire/Saloon glitched on me a few minutes ago!! It wouldn’t accept a reaction. Next it just locked up for about 15 seconds. Then it tried to make me sign in, but it refused to accept my request and then just went back to working like it should. Like Pat said! WEIRD!!
