The fertilizer was supposed to be used to grow hops for female brewers. In said ad, actress and comedian Ilana Glazer talks about an initiative at the company - titled “Bad $#!T to Good $#!T” - to create fertilizer from old, sexist beer advertising (read: featuring scantily clad women). People dug up an ad from March and are now mad about that. In May, apparently in search of another target, conservatives decided that Miller Lite was bad, too, and overly woke. (Vox has a full explainer on the Bud Light situation here.) Indeed, Bud Light sales have declined in the wake of the backlash, though as with any boycott, it’s hard to know how long the impact will last.

In April, Bud Light sent trans influencer and activist Mulvaney some cans of beer and Mulvaney posted about it on social media, presumably as part of a pretty run-of-the-mill paid sponsorship deal. The customers these campaigns were aimed at might be upset to notice that Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev hasn’t exactly stuck to its guns on Dylan Mulvaney, the trans influencer in question, and neither company’s political donations are super aligned with left-leaning causes.Ĭorporations are not your friends, let alone your political allies It’s not like beers are totally progressive now though, either. So now some on the right are mad about both of these major beer brands over what they see as selling out and taking progressive positions in supporting trans people and women. Actually, the Miller Lite thing happened before the Bud Light thing, back in March for Women’s History Month, but most people didn’t see the Miller Lite thing before now. Then, Miller Lite ran an ad celebrating female brewers and offering up a lighthearted mea culpa over all the beer ads over the years featuring women in bikinis.

Often the pitch of mass marketing campaigns work against them among craft beer enthusiasts. We aren't picking on the fat kid as much as we're making a few big brewers accountable for their products that are more about beer hype and marketing than substance.
