Mulvaney isn’t the only person who’s expressed disappointment in how Anheuser-Busch handled this whole mess. In interviews with the Guardian published September 19, several former employees described executives as incompetent and accused them of making decisions based on fear and “panic” rather than integrity or data. Some even accused leadership of having lied to them outright about the support they were — or weren’t — offering Mulvaney. While some commenters noted that those who had destroyed the beer would have had to have paid for it first, boosting Bud Light's revenue, others said it was about "sending a message" to the company that their partnership will have lost them future business. But while the video purports to show an act of defiance in the wake of the partnership, some have questioned whether it relates to the recent row. In the four weeks to September 9, Bud Light sales declined by around 30 percent in both volume and dollar value, compared to the same period a year ago. The statistics were compiled by Bump Williams Consulting.

While many social media users have reacted angrily to the partnership, others noted that many major beer brands have given their support to the LGBTQ+ community in advertising campaigns, suggesting those calling for a boycott may be hard-pushed to switch to an alternative they find inoffensive.

She showed the one with her face on it that she had been sent to celebrate her 'Day 365 of Girlhood', as part of a promotion with the company. That meant the brand, which had a reputation for being “fratty,” needed to become “truly inclusive” and appeal to both men and women, she said.

Sales of the beer have yet to recover since a conservative boycott began in April.

Online turmoil ensuedThe most-recent data from Bernstein in the week ending September 9 saw Bud Light with an 8.9 percent share of the U.S. beer market. This was down from 12 percent immediately before the boycott began. Yet with two marketing executives on leave, Anheuser-Busch leadership appears to fear that the boycott's effects could be longer-lived. "It's not what we would have wanted to see from a boycott management perspective," Shanahan said. (The company has not responded to a request for comment.)

The boycotts did not impact sales or account signups in the long run, the researchers found. And in the case of Goya, the brand actually experienced a short-term sales boost from first-time buyers in predominantly Republican counties, Liaukonyte said. What we found is that the patterns were very similar," Liaukonyte said. "They followed one news cycle, coming from zero to a maximum again to zero within two to three weeks." Queer activists and groups suggest looking closely into how a company treats queer employees and handles partnerships with the LGBTQ+ community that can help consumers distinguish pinkwashing from true allyship. Referencing the boycott campaign, Mulvaney added: "I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me, but they never did and, for months now, I've been scared to leave my house... for a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse in my opinion than not hiring a trans person at all."The spokesperson said Bud Light had also made “some adjustments to streamline the structure of our marketing function to reduce layers so that our most senior marketers are more closely connected to every aspect of our brands activities.” I had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light,” said Heinerscheid, who stepped into the role in 2022. “It was, this brand is in decline, it’s been in decline for a really long time, and if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for Bud Light.” The boycott of Goya was most effective when its products were easily substituted, like beans, Liaukonyte said. Sales of other Goya products with fewer comparable substitutes, like adobo seasoning, were less affected. In the video, originally posted on TikTok by a biker, a crowd can be seen watching as the steamroller ploughs across pallets of beer, some of which can be seen exploding as they're crushed. The video's caption reads: "Doing what needs to be done."
