Bud Light has become so unpopular at a Buffalo, NY bar that it was
completely removed as the the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco continues to haunt the
Anheuser-Busch brand.

Daniel M. Keem, a YouTube personality and podcaster, posted video on
social media showing his local bar do away with the brand that has long
held the title of nation’s most popular beer.

“My local bar finally gave up & is removing Bud Light completely from the
bar permanently,” Keem wrote in the caption of the post that he uploaded
to the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

In the video, a local bartender is seen removing the Bud Light handle from
the beer tap and replacing it with a different handle that bears the logo
of Miller Lite.

Miller Lite is a beer brand owned by Anheuser-Busch rival Molson Coors.

“So, Bud Light is so boycotted that it’s being removed [and replaced] with
Miller,” Keem said in the clip.

“It’s being removed from my local bar. Holy s–t. That’s crazy.”

Keem is then heard asking the bartender: “Really, nobody’s ordering Bud
anymore?”

“No,” replied the bartender.

It generated positive reactions on X, with one user commenting: “Good
move.”

“Miller Lite is better anyway,” another X user wrote.

“Go woke go broke,” another social media poster commented.

Keem’s video is anecdotal confirmation of sales figures that show
consumers have been shunning Bud Light en masse since early April, when
Mulvaney, the transgender social media influencer, began touting the beer
on her social media pages.

Bud Light saw sales fall 26.1% for the week that ended July 15 — a steeper
decline than the 23.6% drop during the week of the Fourth of July holiday.

The Anheuser-Busch brand has been losing market share to the rivals such
as Modelo Especial, Coors Light, and Yuengling.

Anheuser-Busch told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that it was
laying off nearly 400 workers at its corporate offices across the country.

The layoffs won’t impact front-line workers such as brewery and warehouse
staff, the company told The Journal.

The restructuring will eliminate corporate and marketing roles at major US
offices, including in St. Louis, New York, and Los Angeles.

Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth added in the written statement:
“While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our
organization continues to be set for future long-term success.”
