Anheuser-Busch Inbev said Tuesday that revenue growth in most of its global regions was offset by a drop in North American sales, in a sign of continuing fallout from a promotion with a transgender influencer that cost it sales.
The world’s largest brewer and parent company of Bud Light said adjusted earnings for the latest quarter rose 4.1% to $5.4 billion on revenues that climbed 5% to $15.6 billion.
Revenue in the United States for the July-September period, however, tumbled 13.5%. AB InBev, based in Leuven, Belgium, noted that sales to retailers were down “primarily due to the volume decline of Bud Light.”
Bud Light sales plunged amid a conservative backlash after the brand sent a commemorative can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in early April.
American Light Macro-Lagers are popular because they're cheap. But if you want to try one I'd recommend Coors Light over Bud Light. Also the US is hotter and a light beer is best when you've been out in 100°F heat for a while.
But if you want something better there are tons of other breweries all around the country. You'd probably have a hard time getting anything from the smaller ones in europe but you can probably get something from one of the larger ones like Shiner.
