It sounds like there’s tension in the air at Kid Rock concerts in Nashville this Fourth of July. This comes after Anheuser-Busch ignited a full-fledged debate about patriotism‚ when the beer company replaced its iconic red and white Bud Light cans with all blue cans for the holiday.
For the concertgoers who showed up to Kid Rock’s Nashville shows this weekend, that meant choosing a brand of beer that more closely aligns with their playful notions of American identity.
Some concertgoers choose strong domestic brands, such as Tennessee’s own Nashville lager, Jackalope. Others, scandalized by the Bud Light controversy, chose microbrews in rebuke.
One fan even tweeted about her decision to drink an IPA from Alpharetta, Georgia: “It was red, white, and blue themed, but it wasn’t Bud Light!”
Some old-school rock fans, meanwhile, chose to get bizarre with their beer selections, opting for samples of cherry wheat or raspberry chocolate stout.
At the end of the day, it’s clear that concertgoers want their beer to match their Music City-style patriotism — and they’re willing to venture outside the Bud Light box to get it.At Kid Rock’s Nashville concert, Independence Day was celebrated with full patriotic spirit. Fans discussed what their favorite beers were to enjoy while taking in the show.
Many concertgoers opted to drink Budweiser and Coors Light, citing the inexpensive domestic brands as preferable. Others said that Miller Lite was their go-to beer for the show. One fan declared that while they liked American-made beers, they appreciated the quality of European brews such as Heineken and Stella Artois.
One fan was seen with a can of Tennessee’s signature homebrew, Yazoo’s Dos Perros Mexican-Style Lager. Given its local flavor and popularity, the beer quickly become the favorite for others around. That was followed up with a trip to Yazoo’s taproom after the show.
Those who weren’t drinking, or weren’t of age, showed their patriotism with homemade red and white lemonade. They were typically seen with a side of snacks, like popcorn or pretzels. Another fan who was having a “dry night” was sipping on a glass of Tennessee whiskey instead.
It was great to be among fans who are proud to represent their country and post for great drinks, in varying forms. From soda and sparkling water to a few more creative drinks like lemonade and sparkling wine, all were raising a glass for a memorable Fourth of July.If you’re looking to stay cool while celebrating the Fourth of July, you’ll probably want to make sure your beer of choice isn’t Bud Light. According to Rich, Heineken Light is a much better choice. But if you’re not the biggest fan of Heineken, don’t worry—there are plenty of other beers to choose from. Here are a few Fourth of July beer suggestions that won’t leave you feeling like you’re back in college:
– Corona Extra: An American classic, Corona Extra is light and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day.
– Sam Adams Summer Ale: This beer has a crisp, citrusy flavor, perfect for an outdoor barbeque.
– Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA: If you’re looking for something a little more hop-forward, this beer is for you. It’s perfect for unwinding after a long day of barbequing.
– Brooklyn Lager: This amber lager has a balanced sweetness and hoppy character, making it a great choice for those looking for a good beer that’s still easy to drink.
– Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro: If you’re looking for something a little more indulgent, this beer is for you. You’ll get hints of sweet espresso and chocolate in this brew, perfect for sitting around the fire.
No matter what beer you choose to enjoy, make sure you’re doing it responsibly! Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!David was adamant about his anti-Bud Light stance while in the bar. He declared with authority that he would never be caught dead drinking it — not here or anywhere else. This was met with both laughter and a few jeers. After a few rounds of beer from the tap, the atmosphere shifted and the focus was back to the conversation at hand, totally disregarding the initial interruption from David about ‘no Bud Light’. A toast was made, acknowledging the joys of craft beer, and Bud Light was a distant memory.Do you love staying up to date on the news? Are you always looking for something different to watch?

Despite the disagreement and debate between family, friends, and even strangers, the couple has remained firm in their decision to wed.
“We don’t care what the haters say,” Sean said. “We’re in love and we want to get married. Nothing else matters to us.”
Lauren agreed: “We know what we have and we’re determined to make it work. We got engaged for a reason, and it’s not worth letting people’s opinions ruin it.”
Sean and Lauren have also made sure to keep their wedding decor neutral in order to ensure that no guests feel uncomfortable. “We want everyone to be able to enjoy our big day and feel comfortable,” Lauren explains.
For now, Sean and Lauren are standing firm in their decision to move forward with their wedding. Whether the debate around them rages on or not, they’re not budging on their plans for the big day.Sean gave a nod of approval when asked if Bud Light would do. “I’m fine with it. Bud Light’s fine,” he replied.
Lauren wasn’t one to make a fuss. “Oh, yeah,” she said with a nonchalant shrug. “I don’t care.” No matter the situation, Lauren had a way of maintaining her cool. Her attitude of indifference meant she wasn’t easily ruffled, a trait that served her well in all kinds of situations.It looks like Bud Light is paying the price for their unpopular marketing decision. After partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in April, in an effort to celebrate Mulvaney’s “Year of Girlhood”, sales of the beer have taken a nosedive. This move has sparked an online firestorm, and led to nation wide boycotts. As a result, this venture is not only costing Bud Light dearly, but it is also cutting into the profits of retailers, distributors, bars, and any contracted companies connected to the project. Who knew that beer could be so controversial?Kid Rock’s fans at his Nashville show on Saturday showed their support of the musician who was one of the first public figures to openly oppose Bud Light’s partnership with Mulvaney. According to reports, the crowd cheered as they watched a video of Kid Rock shooting at cases of Bud Light.
The No Snowflake Summer Concert tour has been ongoing for months and fans seemed to be in favor of the singer’s stance on the controversy. Reports indicated that several people in the crowd voiced their opinion of not drinking Bud Light while the video played. It appears that the message was clear – Kid Rock’s fans are in support of his call for a boycott.
It has been announced that a number of other artists have also decided to voice their opinion on Bud Light’s partnership with Mulvaney by joining in solidarity with Kid Rock. It seems that Kid Rock’s actions have started a wave of awareness that will only continue to grow as more celebrities join the boycott.For those of us within the beverage industry, recent news about two major glass bottling plants shutting their doors has been unsettling. The plants, both owned by Anheuser-Busch, cited a decline in Bud Light sales following controversial advertising campaigns as one of the major causes of the closure. With the closure of these plants, more than 600 employees have been left jobless.
This news follows several other difficult developments for Anheuser-Busch’s glass bottling operations. Last year, two additional Anheuser-Busch plants announced plans to shift their production away from glass packaging. This shift away from glass production marks a major change within the industry and has the potential to cut jobs and reduce economic activity.
Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light brand saw its sales decline by 7 percent this year following the release of several controversial advertisements targeting a younger demographic. The ads, which featured a knight journey to “find the bouquet” and “save the show” were accused of insulting both the LGBTQ+ community and the craft beer industry.
The news of the glass bottling plant closures is undoubtedly difficult for those within the industry. After all, employment opportunities in the beer industry are already hard to come by. Those affected by the layoffs will likely have a tough time finding employment in these uncertain times.
Despite these closures, Anheuser-Busch has maintained that it is still committed to its glass packaging operations. The company has indicated that it plans to focus on improving efficiencies and finding a way to revamp Bud Light’s marketing strategy in order to return to profitability.
This news serves as a reminder of the challenges that come with the modern beer industry and the importance of staying competitive. For now, our thoughts are with the 600-plus employees who have been directly impacted by the closures.Despite making a big splash by signing up trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney to be one of its spokespeople, Bud Light has lost billions in market value.
The beer giant was hoping to make a statement of inclusion and modernity by signing the 23-year-old YouTuber and model as part of a campaign to reach a new generation of drinkers.
However, the backlash was swift, with critics accusing the company of pandering and tokenism. And the result has been a major drop in the stock price of parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Shares in Anheuser-Busch InBev have dropped almost 20% since the announcement, with analysts linking the decline to the negative publicity surrounding the campaign.
The company has defended its decision, stating that it “stood by its values of acceptance and diversity” and had “made a conscious decision to be inclusive”.
However, many argued that it was misguided for a beer company to make such a move, with one critic calling it “morally wrong and financially idiotic”.
The controversy shows that while companies may feel they are doing the right thing by making a statement of inclusion and modernity, they also need to be aware of potential backlash from their customer base.Aaron, a Freedom Fighter and Bud Light consumer, recently shared on Fox News his reasons for participating in the nationwide boycott of Bud Light. “It’s about taking a stand and sending a message,” he said, “that we won’t accept any attempts by big businesses to take away our freedoms.”
Aaron believes that Bud Light is the source of an “anti-American agenda” and feels that the brand should be boycotted in order for Americans to send a message about their core values and beliefs. He believes that by boycotting Bud Light, consumers can prevent the company from having a hand in policies that would limit or take away their liberties.
“I’m not alone in this boycott,” Aaron stated, “I know many people throughout the United States who are standing with me.” He also noted that boycotting Bud Light isn’t going to solve every issue facing America, but it’s a start. “It shows solidarity and that we’ll remain united against any attempts to strip away our freedoms.”
Ultimately, Aaron stands firm in his conviction that the nationwide boycott of Bud Light is a symbol of freedom and a way for individuals to express their beliefs and support the core values of the United States. “If we stay united and take a stand together, we can preserve our freedom of expression and the right to make our own decisions.”When Dan mentioned he had some pre-controversy Bud Light in his refrigerator that no one would drink, you could hear a collective gasp in the room. He had held on to it for months, keeping it safe and out of the fray.
As Dan went on to explain, the beer had been found prior to the controversy – that of its divisive slogan, its enforcement of gender stereotypes, and its ill-received humor. He had not wanted the beer to be a part of it and so kept it until, eventually, no one would even drink it.
The conversation quickly turned to discussion of the dilemma of running businesses ethically and, if Dan wanted to, naturally. It was a heated one, and whether it was his beer or the issue of ethics itself, it seemed no one wanted to touch it.
The moral of the story? Keep an eye out for scrutiny and always stay ahead of the game by avoiding judgement before such a controversy takes hold.
As for Dan? He’ll just have to pour that Bud Light down the drain.NisselenIQ data recently revealed that Bud Light, the best-selling beer in the U.S., has suffered a 24.4% decline in sales compared to the same period a year ago for the week ending June 3. Unsurprisingly, this downward spiral has allowed Modelo Especial to surge past Bud Light as the number one selling beer brand in both the single-week and four-week period ending June 3.
Manufactured by Constellation Brands, Modelo Especial has seen steady growth over the past year thanks to a “unique flavor profile” that resonates well with many beer consumers. However, it’s not just the savory taste and competitive pricing that is driving sales, but also the success of the brand’s marketing campaigns. Modelo Especial has sought to cater to the Latino base, hosting famous events such as their Balloon Fiesta and running commercials that feature Latinx influencers like Bad Bunny and soccer player Neymar Jr.
Meanwhile, Bud Light has had to endure a number of setbacks. The brand has recently taken a hit due to its association with President Donald Trump after the U.S. expressed criticism over its use of corn syrup during the 2020 Super Bowl. Nevertheless, Anheuser-Busch, which owns Bud Light, is looking to rebound this summer with a $150 million rebranding campaign that emphasizes the taste of the beer.
It remains to be seen if the latest initiative from Anheuser-Busch can help restore Bud Light’s position as the top-selling beer in the U.S. In the mean time, Modelo Especial is in the driver’s seat and looks to continue its market dominance with its effective marketing tactics and unique flavor profile.Social media users had a lot to say about Bud Light’s newest advertisement. The commercial, which made its debut during Super Bowl LIV, was panned almost as quickly as it aired.
Twitter lit up with comments about the ad, which touted a new Bud Light flavor and included the much-maligned tag line: “It’s ooh so wild.” Many users found the ad to be unappealing and nonsensical, while others made jokes about the tag line.
The newly-released Bud Light flavor, Pineapple Burst, was also the focus of online criticism. Users were quick to point out that while pineapple cameos in various strains of Bud Light Seltzer, this variety was the only pineapple-flavored option of the company’s beer.
The ironic thing about the commercial backlash is that it actually sold the product. The Bud Light flavor quickly became a bestseller as users were eager to see if it was as “ooh so wild” as the ad made it out to be. As spending in this category increases, this could potentially be a win for Bud Light in the long run.
In the end, online tastemakers used their criticism of the ad to promote the new product and also made Bud Light a trending topic. The combination of the Super Bowl ad, plus the subsequent replies and retweets, resulted in plenty of exposure for the beer and its new flavor. While the ad wasn’t as successful as Bud Light hoped, the company surely gained more attention than Pines Apple Burst ever would have without the commercial.Ron, who recently made a trip from Phoenix to Nashville, was asked a question by Fox News – why he now chooses not to patron any business that participates in the political process. His response was firm and resolute: “Regardless of the company, once they get involved politically, then I don’t want to support that.”
Making a stance on such a divisive topic isn’t easy, and Ron is certainly not alone. Many customers feel strongly about staying out of politics and are unwilling to lend their dollars to organizations that may fail to align with their values.
Ron believes that the people one supports on the political stage must be carefully chosen, and they must be chosen with respect to the law and the morality of the nation. This isn’t an easy task to undertake and it is something that Ron is particularly meticulous about.
It is for this reason, then, that Ron is unwilling to contribute to businesses that become involved in politics. He would rather put his money in places that don’t cross the line of morality and that don’t support any particular political party. This is a noble undertaking, and one that certainly endured the test of Ron’s Nashville vacation.Did you know that one of the most powerful ways to make an impact on the future of a country is by using both your vote and your wallet? It’s true! We are fortunate to have two votes in this nation – our first, of course, being at the polls. But the second vote is the one that is often overlooked, but just as important: casting your vote with your wallet.
When you spend money in a certain type of business or support a cause, you are demonstrating you trust those businesses and organizations. The more money they receive, the more influence they have. Ultimately, your spending habits directly enable certain services, businesses and causes to have a louder voice and greater power, making them a force to be reckoned with in the country.
Plus, when you keep your money local, you’re keeping it in the community and building a stronger, more vibrant economy. Whether it’s through shopping at local businesses, donating to community organizations or contributing to public funds for more social programs, you have the power to help shape the future of a place.
Here at ____, we believe it’s important to use both votes – your ballot and your wallet. That’s why we advocate for using spending as a means to promote a better future for our country. It’s an incredibly effective tool that everybody should be utilizing. So make sure you use your wallet as a way to make a lasting impact – one region, one country and one planet at a time.Sean and Lauren, fans of Kid Rock, shared they don’t feel concerned with the present dispute about Bud Light. When posed with the question, “how do you feel about the issue?”, they both let it be known they are alright with it.Despite his vocal and very public support for Donald Trump, Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘N’ Roll Steakhouse still proudly serves Bud Light on their menu. But that doesn’t mean that everyone is drinking it, as many former customers and fans of the bar say they won’t be returning due to Kid Rock’s political stance.
“When I was a regular at Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘N’ Roll Steakhouse, Bud Light was my go-to beer. But I can no longer in good conscience support Kid Rock or any of his enterprises,” said one former patron. “He’s no longer a person I respect, let alone want to give my money to.”
Others have expressed similar sentiments, saying that Kid Rock’s political alignment means they can no longer bring themselves to consume a product he endorses. Still, there are plenty of people who have no problems with Kid Rock’s views, and still frequent the bar often.
“I think what Kid Rock does and says is his business,” said one regular customer of the bar. “It doesn’t affect the quality of the beer, food or entertainment that he provides. I’m still enjoying the atmosphere at Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘N’ Roll Steakhouse, and I plan on continuing to do so no matter who the owner is.”
The drama surrounding Kid Rock’s political views hasn’t affected the business that Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘N’ Roll Steakhouse does, according to the staff. They continue to serve the same Bud Light alongside a variety of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and remain a popular destination in Nashville.
Still, the decision on whether or not to consume a product associated with a figure who many disagree with remains a controversial one. No matter what you think of Kid Rock, everyone is free to voice and act on their opinion in their own way, be it through boycotting Bud Light or supporting him and the bar.It’s easy to stay connected with the latest news with the Fox News App. With this app, you get access to the latest stories, videos, and more.
