For the past 15 years, the Anheuser-Busch family of beers has actually been part of a larger corporate conglomerate. Now, in light of a cultural firestorm and a steep drop in sales, the heir to the Busch family name says he’d like to get at least one of those beers back and “make it great again.”
Billy Busch, appearing on conservative activist Benny Johnson’s podcast, offered to purchase the beleaguered beer that was, as recently as this past spring, the leading seller in America for decades but saw a sudden 10.5% decline in sales, according to the company’s latest financial report, after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for an advertising promotion.
“I know Anheuser-Busch InBev just sold off eight brands and if they ever decide to sell the Bud Light brand they could sell it to me,” Busch said. “I'd sure as heck try to pull some people together and buy that brand because I think we can make Bud Light great again.”
Busch also had his own advice to give those currently in charge of the Bud Light brand.
“I would have first said, ‘Watch out who the marketing people are that you hire.’ They’re these young, woke ... who want to push political agendas down your throat coming out of these woke schools,” he said.
“When you are a foreign company and you rely on these woke students that are coming out of these local colleges to do your advertising for you,” he surmised, “you’re making a big mistake.”
The Belgian company InBev bought the Anheuser-Busch family of beers in 2008 for about $52 billion.
