@ImplyingImplications @wintermute_oregon Are gains of their other brands making up for sales losses of #BudLight?
Comment on Bud Light falls to No. 3 beer brand more than year after Dylan Mulvaney controversy

Modelo Especial, Michelob Ultra and Bud Light. Those are the recent sales rankings of the top three beers in the U.S., according to data shared by Bump Williams consulting firm.
All three are owned by the same mega corp, Anheuser-Busch InBev. Mission accomplished.

No idea. I don’t drink most of their brands because they are garbage.
I didn’t stop drinking Bud Light because of this, I just never drank it because it is awful.
About 90% of the culture war, I think, is petty and weird. I do think companies need to be aware that if you lose your focus, you will lose your customers.

Yea, bus light has always been awful.
People tasted something else, something better, and now know how bad Bud is.

I didn’t drink beer for a long time because of Bud Light. There are some decent beers out there. Bud Light isn’t one of them.

InBev does not own Modelo. The Grupo Modelo owns it.

Grupo Modelo is a subsidiary of InBev. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_InBev

Only outside of the United States. In the United States, it is sold by Constellation. It was part of the anti-trust agreement.

Amazing someone downvotes you for this when it spot on.
In the US, where this matters, it’s not part of InBev.
If anything, is just highlights how too much stuff is owned by a very small set of companies.
