Anheuser-Busch
Reviews and Complaints

My coworker and I were working at a restaurant on roncesvalles in Toronto where filming for a new Budweiser commercial was being held. Curious about the crowd, my coworker asked a member outside if he was a part of the crew and the two men responded yes. She then asked what they were filming, as at the time we did not know, and their response was "an orgy and we are looking for extras." Later they responded with Budweiser. This is by far one of the grossest comments I have ever heard from people who are supposed to be representing a brand. I do not think any woman should be spoken to that way and although it was intended as a joke, it is completely inappropriate. Just thought you should know who is representing you.

To Whom it May Concern,

I am a faithful consumer of Budweiser and Bud Lite products. I have been fora number of years.

I have become concerned, however, with one of your commercials. It is a Bud Lite beer can commercial. Specifically, the NFL can commercials. I have considered the commercial at length and decided I needed to reach out to someone at the company. The commercial refers to a variety of NFL teams by their franchise name or their nicknames. However, when it comes to the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets, the narrator says "them and them."

This is clearly disrespectful and it is attributable to the writers of the commercial. They disregard the place that both franchises have in the business that is the National Football League. Hundreds of thousands of fans cheer for and support both teams. To so blatantly treat them as inferior to other teams in the NFL is despicable.

I hope that this issue is resolved quickly and appropriately.

Sincerely,

Tim Peters

You had a uniform of girls working the Fall Festival at Lake Eola in Orlando FL or low cut black tops and short shorts. All the young girls were wearing the same thing, so it appeared to be a "mandatory" uniform. Are you truly aware of who your audience is? Are you aware of all the sexual harassment lawsuits happening all over the country? You need to change your outlook on who buys your beer — you cannot afford to alienate 50% of your core audience, which are women. You need to take a hard look at what your message is out in the public and make sure all employees of your organization take sexual harassment training and get with the current times and be aware of local and national events. Grow up Budweiser!

Why are you asking for such personal information as bank account info. etc. concerning your Budweiser glasses with lighting. That is ridiculous and unacceptable. The glass requires batteries to light it up but why are you asking for extra money/banking information etc. What is the motive behind this? The coupon that comes with a case of Budweiser for a plastic glass with a light on the bottom...requires personal information to activate a light?.Are you kidding? Is there something I am missing? To me this is unethical and deceiving. Please...explain...

I have just returned home after my Third 30 mile round trip to # Hy Vee stores in Iowa City and Coralville.. I have been tpld 3 times that they would have your 1933 Repeal Reserve in and each time NOTHING... I am totally pissed off with Budweiser and your local distributor 7G in Cedar Rapids, What possible reason can you have to heavily advertise a product you cant begin to provide for your customers, Maybe you have all the time and money in the world to waste it trying to purchase something that simply is not available but I DO NOT... What a bunch of [censor]. I have been a lifelong Bud Man but ready to go elsewhere with my business, John Tullis

So I sent my neice Rebecca to the Walmart store in warsaw ny yesterday to get beer she came back and her and her girls we're putting the beers in the refrigerator and the girls noticed one can was punctured so Rebecca thought maybe it was cuz they were in back of truck so she took can outside to dump it but no beer was coming out she opened the can more and look omg I about puke everytime I send this pic she took it back to Walmart and they gave us refund but I think someone should be aware of this at Budweiser ewwww! Completely disgusted!

I buy about 6-8 12 pks of beer from circle k here in my home town of mount airy nc and recently I have been getting 12. pks with 1 or 2 empty cans because the beer has leaked out somehow and the cans are a sticky mess. I don't know how this is happening but I'm not happy about it! Guess everybody should know about this beer. I'm tired of spending money on leaky cans.

When I opened the box of a 18 pack of bud light I seen something in the box and was like freaking out all I could see was like Japanese writing on a small silver tube and something looking like a small black box to me in the flash of 1 sec as I slammed my fridge door shut to jump for cover .then after popping a little in my underwear I realized I had not seen any wires so I took a look more to find two batteries and something off a film box I think so I took pictures of it for you. If you like you can call me for more info at [protected]

To whom this may concern:
I've supported this company for the last 25 Years. I will no longer be purchasing anymore Budweiser products. If Budweiser is going to support an anti-American agenda with NFL players and there league executives kneeling during our country's National Anthem I will not support Budweiser. It's atrocious behavior and is the definition of anti-American. I thought Budweiser represented America. I was wrong. I'm surprised actually.
My feelings are very strong like most Americans. I have been very aggressive in communicating to others to not buy Budweiser products because of budweisers anti - American agenda. So far I have contacted over 200 people.
Thanks but no thanks. There are other choices out there, and everyone understands this. And if they don't, they will soon! Change your Commercials please because Budweiser no longer supports America.

I'm deciding to cut all ties to the NFL and there supporters. I'm 44 years old and have been drinking Budweiser since I was 18, even got a tattoo on my 18th birthday that says this Bud's for me. I have countless amount of shirts, stickers, hat Etc. I will not be supporting anyone that disgraces our flag. I don't understand your support in all of this, just a few months ago your product had the word America on it. You just lost a great customer.

I can't believe all the little legal children that are watching the World Series are subjected to poor language choice from Budweiser.

Whoever is on that Ad Campaign obviously does not have children. Every time the word "DAMN" comes on the Budweiser commercial my wife and I have to explain to our 7 year old boy who LOVES baseball that Budweiser is a disrespectful company to sensitive ears.

Why would Budweiser, the SPONSOR of "America's Sport" swear during a commercial that is aired at 7:30pm when children are watching TV.

Its disrespectful, thoughtless and offensive to those of us that enjoy watching America's Sport with our family.

Please confirm this has been received and honored.

Kindest regards

We keep buying the 12 packs from our local store and we keep getting flat beers with no carbonation. It does not always happen but recently it has been much more frequently. Is this a problem during the bottling process or the cases are being thrown around. I have complained to the store but they just give excuses and say they are not flat. We buy at least 4 cases a week if not more is there anything you can do to help with this issue thanks for your time. Jon petrucci and kurtis mckeever.

I read an article with Budweiser executives saying the reason sales are down 5% is due to the recent hurricanes. Let me be clear. The only reason I stopped buying Budweiser products is because they place ads with the NFL who's players are disrespecting our flag and complaining about our country. Filthy rich millionaires complaining about this country. I will not support that sport any longer or its advertisers. Thought you should know. Thank you.

I am a 62 year old father of 3. I have spent many thousands of dollars over the years on your products. but because you are not standing with a firm answer against these stupid nfl protests, I and my extended family are now boycotting your products. I am a vet and proud of my flag and country. It's too bad that players and owners are ruining the sport and my relationship with Bud. Tell the NFL you are going to loose a lot a of money and and customers. they have a right to kneel. I have a right to stop buying your and their products. Mark Melton

I was wanting to have a relaxing night so thought I would have a beer. I poured one in my glass and took a sip. When I put it down I noticed all this stuff floating around . It was stringy looking and did not dissolve. I wouldn’t drink anymore and am sorry that I took that sip. I don’t have a clue of what it is but it kind of turned me off from having another beer. I took a picture of it if you need it, you can see it floating in the glass. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

Hello. Last weekend, I purchased a 30 pack of Budweiser, as I always do, but this time, something was wrong with the beer. It seemed like in this batch of beer, there was too much carbonation in the cans. Every can of beer that I opened from this pack, exploded and foamed a lot of the product out of the can. I saved quit a few cans in case you needed a serial number off of it, or if you needed me to send the cans to you. I just wanted to bring this to your companies attention. I am one of BUDWEISER's GREATEST fans & ENJOY my BUD !

I am writing to applaud your company for continuing to support the NFL in spite of all the commotion centered around the NFL protests.

Last year, Colin Kaepernick began this protest against police brutality by sitting during the national anthem. A retired member of the Armed Forces noticed that he was sitting and suggested that he should kneel instead. He suggested that Kaepernick should kneel because it is a sign of respect to kneel for a fallen soldier during military funerals. Kaepernick obliged, because, he's not protesting against the national anthem (similar to how Rosa Parks wasn't protesting the bus system, but rather she was protesting the injustice faced towards black people who were FORCED to sit in the back of the bus).

This protest isn't about the anthem. This protest is about the racial injustices imposed on black people by our law enforcement. This is about the endless black bodies and officer acquittals. This is about the 40 year sentences for a misdemeanor, when criminals like Brock Turner are released. This is about racial profiling and the school to prison pipeline.

And I hope that since you are a company based on a dream to bring people together for a BETTER WORLD, you wouldn't deflect and distract from the actual meaning of the protest (police brutality) and find reasons why we shouldn't care about the protest. Your company employs over 17, 000 people of all different backgrounds, races, religions and orientations. You have received awards for diversity and maintaining a culture of INCLUSIVITY. This is about the award your company received from the 100 Black Men of Metropolitan St. Louis.

It's like Carlos Brito, the CEO of AB InBev, has stated many, many times: having a culture centered around people and dreaming is easy to say... but HARD TO LIVE ON A DAY TO DAY.

Anheuser-Busch... This is your opportunity to live your mantra: Dream. People. Culture.

OK, OK, you may have heard it all. But one more...
Our household is not please with the NFL owners and the decision on allowing players to kneel at the beginning of the game when the American Flag is honored.
Your company has used respected the American people and respected the military, first responders, police, etc...
Your company uses the logos that represents America with the colors and the American Eagel.
It is time to stand behind your imagine and not support decisions made by the NFL to allow prejudice of race brought to the American Flag.
The NFL, can and has had guidelines their players much follow...they can insure guidelines that protest not be displayed while being paid by them.
United We Stand, Devided We Fall.
The NFL owners are allowing a devision.
What will Anheuser Bush allow and support?

You say you support veterans and the military, but how about law enforcement officers? I would not sponsor an organization that refused to let a team honor fallen law enforcement officers, yet allows disrespect of our country via "protests" during games. The NFL already has bad publicity regarding players convicted of domestic violence, murder, drug abuse, etc. Your brand will suffer from an association with the NFL (No Fans Left). There will be no more of your products in my house unless you pull your sponsorship.

I am writing to express my displeasure with your company. You have a beer entitled America yet you choose to affiliate yourself with the NFL. I am an independent voter born and raised in NYC. I am now living in the Dan Francisco area and I do not stand on principals just because I am told to, I hold my own opinions based on each individual situations. I tell you this because I believe in the fair treatment of all people based on individual behavior, so I am willing to have a conversation about the issues that Kapernick has espoused. However I will not be preached to by a bunch of coddled athletes during a sporting event. Furthermore I believe that all people should unite in this country under common, positive ideals. Our flag and our country aspires to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We can debate whether we have fulfilled these ideals but me must agree that those ideals are ment to unite us. I beg you to support America by withdrawing your advertising from the NFL until they recognize the divisive nature of their action by allowing a protest DURING the National Anthem. One could argue that the players individually and the NFL have a huge platform to use in many constructive ways to drive a message of equality and unity for all men and women of all races. I woyuld be happy to receive any constructive message with an open mind as long as they stop protesting our country. As a white person I have been told many times that if something offends someone I am not allowed to tell them they should not be offended because I didn't mean it in a bad way. Well I am telling the players that I and many others are being offended by their actions during the salute to our nation. They should practice what they preach. I call on you to practice what you preach and be a country founded and supported by and in America and tell the NFL enough... with your advertising dollars. I have stopped watching all NFL games, please don't force me to start drinking Heineken
