Yuengling fired off a tweet bragging about its longtime success about an hour after Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, issued a long-winded statement amid the Mulvaney controversy.
Yuengling appeared to take a shot at rival beer company Bud Light on Friday shortly after the under-fire brand issued a long-winded statement over controversy sparked by partnering with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney earlier this month.
“Yuengling, The Oldest Brewery in America. Independently Owned and Family Operated since 1829 because we make good beer,” Yuengling Brewery’s account conspicuously tweeted out with a photo of an American flag and a traditional lager Yuengling beer can. The tweet was posted as Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has faced immense backlash from conservatives for working with Mulvaney, who is a 26-year-old transgender woman with 10 million followers on TikTok.Transgender woman Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light teamed up last month.
Shortly before Yuengling’s tweet, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a statement that in part said, “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over beer.” He also said as leader of the company his focus is “building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage” as he vowed to continue to bring “great beers” across the country.
