Boycott Backlash: Anheuser-Busch Loses Saloon's Business Over Bud Light Campaign.
Minneapolis gay bar The Saloon will no longer serve Anheuser-Busch beers after the company walked back a marketing campaign featuring a trans spokesperson. The Saloon will instead serve beers from local breweries Modist and Bauhaus. The decision comes after Anheuser-Busch faced backlash from conservatives and then tried to distance itself from the campaign, sparking fresh outrage from the LGBTQ+ community. The Saloon's owner said Anheuser-Busch had an opportunity to support a marginalized community but abandoned that direction.
