Bud Light, America's foremost beer for decades, falls to second following Diverse marketing criticism
(AP & WXXI News) After more than two decades as America's best-selling beer, Bud Light has slipped into second place.
Modelo Especial, a Mexican lager, with connections to locally-based Constellation Brands, overtook Bud Light in U.S. retail dollar sales in the month finish 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 Flash fell to 7.3%.

It’s the absence thereof. For years, major breweries have connected in the 21st-century corporate tradition of “rainbow capitalism,” festooning their brands’ social media accounts in rainbow garb and loudly proclaiming their LGBTQ+ initiatives. This June, my feed is decidedly more monochromatic. I’m starting to suspect that our dear macrobrewers — they of the multi-billion-dollar market capitalizations and lofty lip service to diversity — may not be as proud of Identity as they once claimed.
If your job doesn’t need you to spend second online, a) good for you, what’s that like? and b) you may not be familiar with an a
