I vaguely recall reading that they expressed support for trans people and now conservatives are boycotting.

Just wondering what exactly they did and why enough people cared so much as to stop buying it.

AFAIK, they promoted beer by asking a transgender influencer to promote it. Conservatives didn't like it. Bud Light didn't like that, so they stopped expressing support for trans people, which in turn pissed off progressives. So now everyone hates them, cos if you buy their beer you risk political convos etc
