Bent River Brewing Company has declined to produce the "Ultra Right" beer created by conservative Seth Weathers in response to Bud Light partnering with transgender influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney.
Weathers created the "Ultra Right" beer to counter Bud Light's partnership with Mulvaney, which sparked widespread criticism and calls to boycott Bud Light and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch.
- The controversy over transgender brand ambassadors highlights the debate about including transgender women in female issues and spaces.
- Weathers also sells products targeting conservative clientele, including "Let's go Brandon" merchandise, a political slogan used to insult President Joe Biden.
- Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth said the company "never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people."
- Weathers claims the "Ultra Right" beer is still being brewed and canned in Northern Illinois, and he plans to release a video announcing his new local-owned brew partner on Monday.
