Bud Light, America's top beer for decades, falls to second following LGBTQ+ marketing criticism

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 10:00:40 GMT

After more than two decades as America’s best-selling beer, Bud Light has slipped into second place.Modelo Especial, a Mexican lager, overtook Bud Light in U.S. retail dollar sales in the month ending June 3, according to Nielsen data analyzed by Bump Williams Consulting. Modelo controlled 8.4% of U.S. grocery, convenience and liquor store sales; Bud Light fell to 7.3%. Grupo Modelo, the Mexican brewer, is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, the same parent company of Bud Light.It's a milestone in Bud Light's months-long sales decline since early April, when critics who were angered by the brewer sending a commemorative can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney vowed to boycott the brand. Bud Light has also faced backlash from Mulvaney’s fans, who think the brand didn’t do enough to support her.Dave William, Bump Williams’ vice president of analytics and insights, said Bud Light has been the top-selling U.S. beer since 2001, and it could still retain that crown this year.

By Peter Blumberg | BloombergThe man accused of striking former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in the head with a hammer during a home intrusion says he can’t get a fair trial in San Francisco because of negative publicity.Lawyers for David DePape on Wednesday asked a federal judge to move his trial out of the city where Nancy and Paul Pelosi live, saying the local jury pool is likely biased from extensive media coverage of the October incident.DePape’s defense team cited survey research indicating that a high proportion of Bay Area residents think he’s guilty after a state judge allowed video footage of the alleged attack and an audio recording of the suspect’s interrogation by police to air on TV news broadcasts.In federal court, he faces charges filed by the Justice Department of attempted kidnapping of a US official and assault of an immediate family member of a US official in retaliation for performing her duties.Related ArticlesCrime and Public Safety | Man pi...
