Bud Light sales are STILL going lower. 29.5% week ending 05/20
-
Now this is interesting. This is including sales going into Memorial Day Weekend, but not Memorial Day itself…

Now here’s the part that people are trying to use to show that the boycott’s turning around -
Sales volume — or number of cases sold containing 12 cans or more — was down 27.8% compared with 29.5%, marking the first time the declines didn’t grow steeper in the seven weeks that this data has been tracked,
But here’s the thing… Bud Light was offering $15 rebates off any sales of a 12 pack and above. The 18-pack sells for $15. So that is free beer. Even with free beer on one of the busiest beer drinking weekends of the year, they were down 28%. That is FAR worse than last week’s 29%.
Expect them to continue offering free beer just to try to show that the numbers are turning… But the really interesting thing is what happens in the fall if retailers reduce their shelf space (and they likely will). That will increase their losses substantially. We could be watching a brand completely self destruct.

Is it possible that Bud-Light is actually a Brewster's Millions situation?
Many years ago, a young man was promised a vast fortune, all he had to do was go out of business. So he invented Bud Light, with the very reasonable assumption that nobody in their right mind would drink the stuff. But of course, man plans and God laughs. And God really had it in for this guy.
So, what the heck to do? Piss off God and Bud-Light fanbois in one fell swoop, that's what!
QED, or something.

They just continue to flail about.
So what exactly do they mean by “real”women?

Modelo Especial is the #2 beer in the US?
I never would have guessed.
Unless Corona (also a Grupo Modelo brand) is included in those numbers. Still a bit of a surprise.
Modelo Especial isn’t #2 anymore… At least over the last 4 weeks… It will take a few more months at current sales to take over for the year…

@Mik define long time.
The majority of distributors seem to think at least 6 more months…

Six months means shelf space realignment.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Very likely they're not going to turn it around in time.

For you beer drinkers here, is there really a taste difference between Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light?
Or is the difference in popularity mainly because of marketing?

If I’m going to drink a light beer it is Miller Lite. It’s a more robust flavor than the other two. Still piss water. I tried some of those lite IPA’s and wanted to like them but ultimately went back to whisky.
