   Anheuser-Busch Inbev said Tuesday that revenue growth in most of its   
   global regions was offset by a drop in North American sales, in a sign of   
   continuing fallout from a promotion with a transgender influencer that   
   cost it sales.   
      
   The world's largest brewer and parent company of Bud Light said adjusted   
   earnings for the latest quarter rose 4.1% to $5.4 billion on revenues that   
   climbed 5% to $15.6 billion.   
      
   Revenue in the United States for the July-September period, however,   
   tumbled 13.5%. AB InBev, based in Leuven, Belgium, noted that sales to   
   retailers were down "primarily due to the volume decline of Bud Light."   
      
   Bud Light sales plunged amid a conservative backlash after the brand sent   
   a commemorative can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in early   
   April.   
      
   The controversy toppled Bud Light from its position as America's best-   
   selling beer for more than two decades. In June, it dropped to second   
   place in U.S. retail sales behind Modelo Especial. Modelo – which is owned   
   by InBev but imported and sold by Constellation Brands in the U.S. –   
   remains the market leader, with nearly 9% share in year-to-date retail   
   sales through Oct. 21. Bud Light has an 8% share.   
      
   U.S. dollar sales of Bud Light were down 29% in the four weeks ending Oct.   
   21 compared to same period a year ago, according to Nielsen data compiled   
   by Bump Williams Consulting. They are down nearly 19% for the year to   
   date.
