I highly doubt BL is anyone's 'favorite' beer. I could be wrong, but ewwww. And I am not a beer snob. There is NOTHING special about BL and I have drunk my fair share in the past. It is a lower calorie drink all day swill, perfect for football season. And that is probably THE reason it is a fall staple. But if it disappeared off the market forever, I highly doubt a stored case would fetch much.Why wouldn’t they? Anheuser-Busch is a great American company. They had an ad campaign that didn’t really reach their target market, or alienated their everyday beer drinking market . If you’re a person who has brand loyalty to Bud Light because you enjoy it and it’s your favorite beer, but won’t drink it now bc they had a transgender spokesperson I think you’ve proved your point . Are you really going to deprive yourself of your favorite beer forever bc of one ad campaign? Seems kind of silly to me.
The funny thing about all of this is the fact that the gay community outside of the freak division really didn't come to AB's rescue, because .... surprise... they really don't drink beer. AB would be much better off at this point to take the hit... shut it down and rebrand it as something else. The American public is too stupid to know the difference. Personally, I doubt I'll ever drink another one, but I am under no illusion that they or anyone else cares.
