Budweiser

Taking a swipe at craft & home brewers , interesting

 

[EcuPirate07]

Yeah, interestingly enough we can make their crap beer too.Sssssooooooo I fail to see where they are setting themselves apart. But hey when you're losing market share to craft breweries you gotta do something.

Meanwhile the parent company is buying successful craft breweries.

After the publicity they got in the craft community after last year, I don't blame them for doubling down...

Like buying craft breweries?

Still, Bud Light sells more product that ALL craft beer products combined...

I believe they are also buying Miller

 

[oceanic_brew]

Polarizing media. Sells products. It's in their best interest to have us doing what we do.

 

[benco]

Did you see the don't drive drunk commercial with the Brit lady and then she turns up a bud and says have a nice cold one. Wtf!!!

 

[benco]

What did they pay him to say he was going to drink some bud tonight! I guess that's good marketing now everyone is going to drink some bud! Lol!

 

[agrazela]

Must be something in it that masks HgH

 

[ClaudiusB]

I love my Bud Clamatos.

I thought that too! Gotta be like Peyton lol. All the bud commercials as well were ridiculous tonight..

 

[ballsy]

I respected the hell out of him, finishing like he is....until the "I'm gonna drink a lot of budweiser tonight"....annnnnnd gone is my respect.

I am not so sure.
If you would live around the corner I would challenge you to brew one.

Ya know what? The same thought went through my mind when he said that too..But, then I REALLY thought about it..Would you, in the same situation, accept X-dollars if you mention our brand? I know I would, and NOT feel the least ashamed for it..I still respect the man..

I also think that there are a LOT of people that use 'budweiser' as a generic term for beer...

 

[koontzjr]

If that's the case about losing respect for the man because he took some money for advertisement then you can't really have respect for hardly any big name professional sports players because they all do it. It's just a part of the deal. Just like Pantherjon said, who's not going to take money for it. Doesn't even really mean he's going to drink the stuff.

"He" who?

 

[ChefRex]

I just saw a clip on the news, Payton saying he's going to drink some Bud, it's not like it's going to be replayed a thousand times, smart marketing.

 

[koontzjr]

And whether you like it or not it is by definition beer, not everyone has the same palate or expectation, or has tried anything different. They are great at advertising, and let's face it that's what drives a lot of people's decisions, good or not. I don't particularly like many extremely hoppy beers, therefore I don't drink much IPA if any. In many craft drinkers eyes this could be seen as outrageous, but I do enjoy many other styles. The attitude that "you should be drinking this or nothing else" does give a snob look to things. The attitude should be "to each his own". Enjoy what you like and who gives a **** if you don't like what I like. Great, more for me. It's a market economy, same with everything else.

 

[slym2none]

Oh. That guy.

He's a Denver-ite now. He probably meant some sort of weed-beverage.

 

[brewshki]

I'm more surprised they took a swipe at home brewers. Not expecting that. I feel like a threat now [emoji12].

We deserve it!
80% of us home brewers talks bad about BMC, lets don't cry.

 

[Paps]

Well.....I've not spent one cent that went to AB/INBEV sinse their last superbowl ad. Looks like they wont be getting any this year from me either.
Sure,sure, they're rich and don't need `my` money but at each and every opportunity i get, i will try to convince people to try styles NOT the American light lager and also inform them of what namebrands are merely `bud` incognito (shock top for example)
Once people try other styles they usually like one or the other and often don't go back to BMC....a brew awakening if you will.

Just slingng more
pizza. He owns a vested percent in the Papa Johns in the Denver market. John had the Corp sale them for pennies on the dollar. Oddly enough, he bought in just before the legalization of certain substances passed. Smart move.

Yea, I drove to KY the other day (20minutes) to go beer shopping. Found old Milwaukee (not beast) for 3.87 a six pack. Why buy bmc for twice that. I grabbed one for old times sake.

 

[unionrdr]

Old Milwaukee premium or ice as my can't-afford-anything-else beer. A bit sweet for my liking though. they need to cut the crystal...maybe some corn or something a little...

Absolutely. No matter what anyone says on here, everyone here would be willing to say "I am going to drink a lot of Bud tonight" if they offered you enough money, especially since the people who are going to be influenced by that comment are exclusively BCM drinkers as it is. The outrage is quite misplaced, since everything in professional sports is commercial, for one company or another.

Peyton Manning, the ultimate shill

Old milwaukee, brewed by pabst. Not milwaukee's best/ice, brewed by coors.

@bristei

According to published news reports, Peyton Manning has some ownership stakes in Bud distributorships, which might explain tonite's mentions

 

[Jwin]

Well, he has skin in the game apparently. Betting those distributors are in the greater Denver area. More $ for him.
But, he buys in to what he likes. If the likes bud, then cool. Good for him.
