But people aren’t drinking less, are they? Wouldn’t Coors or some other brand need to add capacity? I get that those jobs might not be geographically near enough to the displaced workers from AB, but the net number of jobs should be about the same I’d think.

Where I work, our last weekly beer shipments was 4 pallets from our AB distributor, and 18 from their competitor. And that’s in my blue locale. I’m proud that it’s still going strong. | |||

This is one of the questions I've wondered. Are other breweries or brands picking up enough sales to bring on employment increases? God bless America. | |||

As a homebrewer and "craft beer" drinker I've converted a few here and there to the other section of the beer cooler. I'd like to think people might be supporting their local breweries. That might be a percentage of it, maybe. | |||

Budweiser did not do well at Sturgis.  | |||

Wait, what? |
Now let’s hear InBev blather on again about how “the US isn’t even their largest market”. Let them continue to hemorrhage money and customer base. The people have spoken. It’s past the time for businesses to stop adopting stupid woke bullshit support programs when it is crystal clear that the majority says “ENOUGH”. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

If bikers at Sturgis won’t drink it, the brand is done. Finish burning it to the ground with “Bud Lite ATF” ads and start over. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

I've noticed this a lot in business and in life in general. It takes a special type of stubborn to boldly forge ahead in the face of overwhelming evidence and feedback that your path is wrong.

30% down is BS, I think when it all shakes out the numbers are closer to 80%. I have not seen a single person purchase a bud light anywhere since this all went down. Not at the grocery, gas station, baseball game or bar. __________________________ The entire reason for the Second Amendment is not for hunting, it’s not for target shooting … it’s there so that you and I can protect our homes and our children and and our families and our lives.

That perfectly describes the A-B CEO. It's no longer Alissa Heinderscheid, she's done her damage. It's now on Brendan Whitworth. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I feel bad for the guys working the bud light tent. Damn. I’m not surprised at all. The brand is toast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Not me. They're young enough that they can move on to another company that isn't in the business of pissing consumers off. If BL wanted to do better there, they would have had some scantily clad ladies handing out merch and drinks but that would be cliché and make too much sense  Gotta know your audience and again, they miss by a country mile!___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

It still sucks to go through that. I worked for a bank that fucked up BIG TIME. We all knew an acquisition or layoff was on the horizon and it was because some big wigs fucked up. The people who caused the cluster didn’t do jail time (they should have) and it felt like us peasants and low level workers felt the brunt of the big wigs fuck up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

When the peasants and low level workers fuck up, they get fired. When the big wigs fuck up, the peasants and low level workers also get fired. Into the pit of despair you go! Dilley-Dilley!!

Weeeeeell...that wouldn't go over well with the skinny jeans wearing, latte sipping, trans soy/pajama boy demographic. At least that was Alissa Heinderscheid's target objective...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Unless that scantily-clad person was Dylan Mulvaney in a thong. That, however, might not have panned out the way either Heinderscheid or Mulvaney hoped… it is Stugis, SD after all.
