   Bud Light has become so unpopular at a Buffalo, NY bar that it was   
   completely removed as the the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco continues to haunt the   
   Anheuser-Busch brand.   
      
   Daniel M. Keem, a YouTube personality and podcaster, posted video on   
   social media showing his local bar do away with the brand that has long   
   held the title of nation’s most popular beer.   
      
   “My local bar finally gave up & is removing Bud Light completely from the   
   bar permanently,” Keem wrote in the caption of the post that he uploaded   
   to the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter.   
      
   In the video, a local bartender is seen removing the Bud Light handle from   
   the beer tap and replacing it with a different handle that bears the logo   
   of Miller Lite.   
      
   Miller Lite is a beer brand owned by Anheuser-Busch rival Molson Coors.   
      
   “So, Bud Light is so boycotted that it’s being removed [and replaced] with   
   Miller,” Keem said in the clip.   
      
   “It’s being removed from my local bar. Holy s–t. That’s crazy.”

   Keem is then heard asking the bartender: “Really, nobody’s ordering Bud   
   anymore?”   
      
   “No,” replied the bartender.   
      
   Viral video shows a bartender replacing Bud Light with Miller   
   Lite.Twitter/@KEEMSTAR   
   It generated positive reactions on X, with one user commenting: “Good   
   move.”   
      
   “Miller Lite is better anyway,” another X user wrote.   
      
   “Go woke go broke,” another social media poster commented.   
      
   Keem’s video is anecdotal confirmation of sales figures that show   
   consumers have been shunning Bud Light en masse since early April, when   
   Mulvaney, the transgender social media influencer, began touting the beer   
   on her social media pages.   
      
   The local bartender confirmed that the business was doing away with Bud   
   Light.Twitter/@KEEMSTAR   
   Bud Light saw sales fall 26.1% for the week that ended July 15 — a steeper   
   decline than the 23.6% drop during the week of the Fourth of July holiday.   
      
   The Anheuser-Busch brand has been losing market share to the rivals such   
   as Modelo Especial, Coors Light, and Yuengling.   
      
   Bud Light has seen sales plummet since transgender social media influencer   
   Dylan Mulvaney began touting the brand on her social media pages.Instagram   
   Anheuser-Busch told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that it was   
   laying off nearly 400 workers at its corporate offices across the country.   
      
   The layoffs won’t impact front-line workers such as brewery and warehouse   
   staff, the company told The Journal.   
      
   The restructuring will eliminate corporate and marketing roles at major US   
   offices, including in St. Louis, New York, and Los Angeles.   
      
   Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth added in the written statement:   
   “While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our   
   organization continues to be set for future long-term success.”
