Of the brands listed there:
Only drank Bud when somebody else was buying for more than thirty years.
Only Stella Artois I ever drank was gifted to me. I didn't like it. I'd never pay for it.
Can't recall the last time I had a Bass Ale.
We used to stock the sailboat with Labatt Blue and Blue Light when we owned our sailboat, which we sold in 2013.
Haven't drank Rolling Rock since the early '70s.
Liked Goose Island well enough. Wouldn't go out of my way to find it.
Tried Shock Top at a bar, on tap. Liked it. Bought a six pack. Regretted it. (I think most of it ended-up poured down the drain after sitting in the beer fridge forever.)
I may have drank Busch at some time in my life. I doubt I ever bought it.
Only time I ever drank O'Doul's was when I was carrying, we went to a restaurant, and I wanted a "beer."
St. Pauli Girl seems vaguely familiar. I suppose I tried it at some point. I guess it didn't impress.
Was drinking Corona Light as a summer beer at one point. Haven't for years.
The rest of them I cannot recall ever drinking. Most of them I've never heard of.
In short: If AB InBev and all its products disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow, I wouldn't miss them.

Uhm... That wasn't a real AB InBev commercial.
That was somebody demonstrating their opinion of what Bud should have done to recover from their screwup. (Which, btw, included dumping the exec that created the mess.)

Loaded Bud Light truck driven off by unskilled thief in West Valley City
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah, April 20, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — A semi hauling a load of Bud Light was stolen Thursday morning when two workers were offloading beer at a West Valley City convenience store.
The theft call was dispatched at about 6:28 a.m. West Valley City Police officers rushed to the scene, in the area of 2300 S. Redwood Road.
“There were two workers and they were offloading beer to a business and they left the truck running, and somebody just walked up to it and decided to help themselves to the truck,” Lt. Jason Vincent, WVCPD, told Gephardt Daily.
The thief or thieves didn’t get far.
“Officers found it (the semi) abandoned kind of a short time later,” Vincent said. “The individual that stole the truck actually didn’t even know how to work the truck. There were air brakes on, and he left them on. He didn’t know how to turn them off. So it kind of just dragged it for a couple blocks until he ditched the truck.”
No beer was taken from the semi, but “the two workers actually had their backpacks taken, and that’s about it,” Vincent said.
It cracks me up that a whole truck of Bud Lite was stolen, but not a single can was taken. They had time to lift the backpacks, but left the Bud Lite.

Very glad to see that Sam Adams, Stiegl (Austria), and Sapporo (Japan) aren’t on that HUGE list.
Sam Adams/Boston Beer Company is an independent brewer that acquired/merged with Dogfish Head a couple years ago. I love their beer but they’ve been tiptoeing around with the woke crowd and Dogfish has done some real dick moves in the past. I’ll drink one if it’s offered but anymore I’m almost exclusively local/craft. My favorite is a place in Harrisonburg, VA called Brothers Craft Brewing. They don’t get into politics or woke nonsense and the three brothers are all good guys, one being a navy vet.

Dogfish makes some fantastic beers, and have always been as their motto suggests, Off Centered,
Boston Beer Co, or whatever the parent company is, ran by Koch, is known in the industry to be very supportive of other Craft Breweries,
supportive, as in buying out or forming silent partnerships with them,

The Bud Light senior marketing executive behind the controversial Dylan Mulvaney ad campaign has taken a leave of absence, according to a report.
Alissa Heinerscheid, vice president of marketing for the popular beer, will be replaced by Budweiser global marketing VP Todd Allen, AdAge reported on Friday.
Heinerscheid had led the brand since June. It’s unclear if her replacement will be permanent.
The move comes as Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch have faced immense backlash for its partnership with Mulvaney, a transgender influencer who rose to fame chronicling her gender transition on social media.
At the conclusion of Mulvaney’s transition she dubbed “365 Days of Girlhood,” the beer maker sent the activist custom-made can’s featuring her face, which she revealed in an April 1 Instagram post with the hashtag #budlightpatner. She later posted another video enjoying one of the beers in a bathtub.
A day before Mulvaney announced the partnership, Heinerscheid was interviewed on the podcast “Make Yourself At Home,” where she discussed her work in transforming the Bud Light brand from its “fratty” and “out of touch” humor to a beer company that embraces inclusivity.
“I’m a businesswoman, I had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light, and it was ‘This brand is in decline, it’s been in a decline for a really long time, and if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand there will be no future for Bud Light,‘” Heinerscheid said.
She said she brought “belief” to the brand that to evolve and elevate means to incorporate “inclusivity, it means shifting the tone, it means having a campaign that’s truly inclusive, and feels lighter and brighter and different, and appeals to women and to men.”
She also disparaged the work of Bud Light’s past branding.
“We had this hangover, I mean Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor, and it was really important that we had another approach,” she said.
Despite the immediate backlash from the partnership with Mulvaney, Bud Light initially defended the move before later offering a half-hearted apology to its loyal customers last week.
“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Brendan Whitworth said in a press release. “We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
Maybe she can hook up with Dylan at an exclusive retreat and they can compare their dicks.
“I’m a businesswoman." No, sweetie- you're a clueless businesswoman.

The CEO spoke a word salad apology like a limp dick. Subsequent ads trying to placate the masses fell flat too.
Now this which is w-a-y too late! Still, don't let the door hit you on the ass you ignorant woke bitch!

They're still being wishy-washy with the "leave of absence" crap. Does Alissa HeinerScheisse want to spend more time with her family?
Just say she's been fired and admit you screwed up. This slow-walking tactic is just going to prolong their ordeal, as more and more people are dog-piling on AB for their weak platitudes.
