Budweiser and parent company Anheuser-Busch are garnering praise online for their new 2026 Super Bowl ad and the patriotism it displays.

Budlight, another beer brand Anheuser-Busch owns, created a wave of backlash when it gave a custom beer can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in March 2023. Sales of the beer dropped drastically in the weeks after the partnership, and Anheuser-Busch cut ties with the third-party ad agency at the center of the collaboration.
