Boycotts usually blow over in a short period of time, but the one against Bud Light appears to buck the normal trend. Anheuser-Busch\u2019s parent company is keeping a low media profile while also offering discounts to retailers. The commercial summer season is almost here, and beer demand will go up with it. Could Bud Light recover in time to benefit from this pending increase in demand?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Schuhmacher feels that Anheuser-Busch&#8217;s parent company, InBev, has kept a low profile during the weeks-long saga wile hoping it &#8220;blows over&#8221; while simultaneously increasing the marketing budget and offering heavy discounts at retail.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Their experience tells them that you don&#8217;t want to add to the conversation and add to the noise, because then it just repeats the news cycle,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Boycotts like this usually do blow over&#8230; fairly quickly, within a couple of weeks or so. So, this is really unusual to go into two months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Schuhmacher, who has worked in the beer industry for over three decades in multiple positions and has published Beer Business Daily for 20 years, believes backlash will eventually die down, and Bud Light will stay on top despite long-lasting scars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there is probably a degree of permanent damage to the brand. But in the long term, things usually revert back to the mean,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The appetite for news and analysis of the Bud Light debacle is still strong, and Beer Business Daily, a niche publication which focuses on the North American commercial beer industry, has exploded in popularity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We haven&#8217;t really seen it since 2008 when Miller bought Coors, or they merged and InBev bought Anheuser-Busch. So, yeah, there&#8217;s tremendous interest in this and our traffic on our website is blowing up,&#8221; Schuhmacher said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a story that just won&#8217;t die.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/beer-industry-shock-bud-light-backlash-continues-expert-warns-supply-shortages-rival-lagers\">information<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bud Light appears to continue to be dealing with the backlash against it.
