Last year, Bud Light had partnered up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. However, things became controversial. Conservatives boycotted the brand, and this included singers Kid Rock and Travis Tritt and Joe Rogan also shared his thoughts.

It resulted in the parent company Anheuser-Busch lost $1.4 billion in sales. Sales of other Anheuser-Busch brands—Michelob Ultra, Busch Light, and Natural Light—also took a hit. And so, Wall Street analysts called the episode a ‘crisis’ and downgraded the company’s stock to ‘hold’.

As per the reports, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth showed remorse over the division the partnership with Mulvaney caused. However, his statement didn’t directly refer to the collaboration. But the employees who worked on the collaboration were put on leave. When the firm tried to distance itself from the campaign, it also caused backlash from the LGBTQ+ community.

Joe Rogan opens up on the incident

Joe Rogan spoke about the whole issue in his new JRE episode with country singer Luke Bryan.

“A lot of people had a personal crisis when there was that Bud Light boycott. There was a lot of people like, ‘I don’t know what to do.’ When Kid Rock shot that Bud Light.”

The long tenured UFC commentator was in splits when Luke Bryan said that Kid Rock was serving Bud Light at his bar, despite the boycott. “We drank some [Kid Rock and Rogan]. We drank some on the podcast we did together. He let it go after a while,” Rogan replied in episode #2216.
