Anheuser-Busch
Reviews and Complaints

Budweiser has touted itself for many years as "America’s beer". Your continued advertising and support of the unpatriotic National Football League belies that. I've never boycotted any company before this, but today's the day. It's not like the players are being drafted into military service to fight wars. Just simple gratitude and allegiance is being asked for. You and their employers have every right to demand it.

How can you call Budweiser America’s beer and support the National Football League where millionaire cry baby’s won’t stand for the National anthem. As a veteran of the United States Navy I will no longer purchasing your beer or watch the NFL. You company as a whole should be ashamed. You Advertise your the king of beers what a joke. Your are the first advertiser I’ve e contacted with this issue but not the last, getting list of all advertisers connected to NFL and telling everyone I come in contact with and be sure I’ll have copy’s of all advertisers to pass out

I've been buying Budweiser products for 30 years. I will not spend another penny on your products as long as you sponsor the NFL and their protests of my country.

Your advertisements show pride in heritage and America. The protests of the overpaid players protesting this country is the antithesis of your message. I would think that you should know this.

I believe in America and I love my country, I also loved watching NFL until players decided to start showing disrespect for our flag and our anthem. It is totally unacceptable, I believe the only way the NFL will listen to the fans is by there adverters to step up and hold then accountable. So I will no longer support any company that advertises with them. Please listen to your consumers and publicly hold them accountable.

I purchased a 12 pack of Budweiser (my favorite beer) today, October 12th, 2017. Upon inspection of the cans I found that one was extremely deformed, nearly empty, and completely sealed. Looking at the others, they were all full, but all sticky and some deformed making it hard to open. I'm not usually one to complain about this type of stuff, but this was really bad. I will obviously continue to drink your beer, but I wanted to let you know that this passed quality check. I tried uploading a video, but it failed so I added a few pictures. If you would like the video I would be more than happy to send it to an email of customer support. My email is [protected]@mercymavericks.edu.

Thank you for your time.

I am a Vietnam Vet, my father was in the Marines in WWII on Tarawa, my uncle was a RAF Pilot shot down in 1943 and became a POW, my grandfather served in the Army in WWI and became a Captain because of his valor in combat. I am also a avid Pittsburgh Steeler Fan for over 65 years during which time I have consumed many many gallons of Budweiser. Because I love the USA I have chosen NOT TO WATCH ANY NFL FOOTBALL & TO NOT SUPPORT ANY ADVERTISER THAT IS A NFL SPONSOR IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FASHION! The Anheuser Busch Company has ALWAYS IN THE PAST STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE USA as evidenced by many of your commercials over my lifetime (age 71).
Please cease your support of the NFL totally until they totally again support our country by RESPECTING OUR FLAG & NATIONAL ANTHEM. UNTIL THEN I WILL NOT SUPPORT THE NFL & NO LONGER WILL DRINK BUDWEISER AT ALL --- EVEN AFTER THE FOOTBALL SEASON!

As the NFL season continues to disrespect the America by allowing the players to kneel, lock arms, stay in the locker room, etc. during the National Anthem, I will not longer be purchasing your products as my right to voice my opinion against those who sponsor these actions. Up until this point, I always view your company as being patriotic. While I agree these people have a right to protest, it should not be during their work hours with their salaries being paid for by the fans, teams and sponsors.
Thanks.

I am a Budweiser customers for over 20 years, you are America's number 1 beer company . But unfortunately I will stop buying your products if you continue to support the NFL which is Not America's. National Team. I will have to reframe from buying your products. It is a sad day in America. I have been a loyal fan of the NFl for 2 decades, but now I am done

On 1 October, 2017 (during the airing of an American football game) I had the displeasure of viewing one of your commercials and it was very offensive to me. It mocked individuals who enjoy spiced mead which is a beverage I very much enjoy - way more than Budweiser. This add reinforces some very negative stereotypes on both sides. I hope I am never subjected to this add again. It gives the public a good idea how your company views people with more refined tastes.

I have always admired and appreciated the values conveyed by your advertisements, and applaud your actions in the wake of the recent hurricanes. I can not, however, understand your support to the uninformed, misdirected, antagonistic and basically [censor] performance of some NFL players. They essentially represent you by default proxy as long as you provide financial support and, by virtue of that, endorsement. I have no objection to any justifiable protest in appropriate context and venue, neither of which is displayed in the NFL by these entitlement tantrums worthy at best of a child who can not reason...or read evidently. I will not go into a lengthy discussion as to why I firmly believe in allegiance to what America embodies to ALL its citizens. I own a number of restaurants, nine of which have full bars, and I have today directed the CFO to cease the purchase of any and all Anheuser-Busch products until further notice. I will post explanations at each location. This, I realize, will have little impact on your business, but I will certainly feel better. Your support to the NFL will gain you insignificant business and promotes a poor image of your company's integrity.

I am a sheriff’s deputy and have been in law Enforcement for the past 24 years. I am currently part of my agency’s color guard. My wife is a 911 dispatcher. My grandfather served in WWII, and my sister had recently retired from the U.S. Navy after 20 years of service. We are a patriotic family and believe in serving our community.
Since the NFL and it’s players have chosen to believe & support a false narrative and disgrace our country’s flag and anthem, my family & I have decided to no longer knowingly consume their product. This includes sponsors supporting the NFL.
Life is all about choices. They choose to take a knee, We choose not to provide financial support to people & companies that allows this behavior.
What will you choose?

Gentlemen:

Your company has sponsored sports, football games, super bowls, etc for years.

I am seventy-two. I have been drinking Budweiser beer for years.

I am sick unto death of watching overpaid, marginally educated NFL players

disparaging our flag, our national anthem and our country in mindless protests about imagined grievances. There is nothing that I can do about that.

What I can do, however, is to stop subsidizing those who support them commercially.

I have bought my last bottle of Bud in restaurants and I have bought my last case of Budweiser. You have lost me as a customer forever.

We can no longer purchase or support your product because of your support of the National Football League (NFL); the owners and Player Association.

They have offended the American people by their stand on the National Anthem. As such, they show no respect for the men and women in the Armed Services who have given them the right to sit in their comfort zones while men and women die for their freedom of speech.

Our SONS and DAUGHTERS, GRANDSONS and GRANDDAUGHTERS who have served and are currently serving are more important to us than your product.

Until you stand with our service men and women, show respect for our Flag and our National Anthem and stand AGAINST the NFL, we will not support your product.

Respectfully,
Proud parents and grand-parents of former and current service personnel

I am very disappointed in Budweiser's response to the NFL political statements during National Anthem and disrespect to flag. I am an Army Veteran of 20 years. I took an oath to defend my country against enemies foreign and domestic, to honor the flag and ideals it stands for. Although freedom of speech is a right, there is a time and place for it. During the National Anthem, presentation of the flag, these are not the correct times. NFL is for entertainment, not political statements. But as it is your right to support the NFL, it is my right not to support the Budweiser Organization. Therefore, not longer will any Budweiser product be served at my house, nor consumed at any restaurant I go to. I will not support any of your services nor organizations you support. Sometimes, money is not worth the loss of a friend.

I'm writing to convey that I will no longer purchase any of your products because of your sponsorship with the NFL. Your continued support of the NFL after their disrespect for our Country's flag, the National Anthem and all of the freedoms so many great Americans fought for and gave their lives to protect is insulting to say the least.

I hope you make the decision to stand with America instead of anti-American, behavior. Athletes get paid vast amounts of money to play sports and entertain. While they're entitled to their opinions, we don't pay to see or hear their political opinions. And if they're so concerned about their cause, why is their so little effort on their part to part with the millions they make and help the communities they came from.

As a result, I will no longer buy any of your products.

Ill be honest I don't care if i get anything out of this, i got a 12 pack of cans and two of them were half empty and there are no holes in the cans they don't leak when you squeeze them they are just half empty. Like I said before don't want anything probably happened after they left your distributor just thought was funny. Hope whoever reads this has a good day.

I have a license to sell beer and wine in my restaurant. The last two weeks and a few times in the past The Bud Distributor, Bernie little, out of Sebring Florida has not had any Bud, "out of stock" I have regular hard core Bud Drinkers and when I say I have no Bud they leave. I can not buy it from a store as it is illegal. I have had great experiences with other distributors in Fl in my other locations. Bernie little takes it upon themselves to change delivery days etc. What can I do to get another distributor that will service my area. I am a small restaurant at this location but 5 years ago I started two other locations with the same numbers as this location, that are now doing well over a million dollars .
It is hard enough to grow a business these days but when the only people one can by a product from does not have the product. Business fail.
