Bars boycott Anheuser-Busch products after company pulls out of Pride festival partnership

  • Following Anheuser-Busch's decision to end its 30-year sponsorship of St. Louis PrideFest, select bars in the St. Louis area, including Greenfinch Theater and Dive, Rehab Bar and Grill, and The Improv Shop have announced a boycott of Anheuser-Busch products.
  • Anheuser-Busch's decision not to sponsor Pride St. Louis this year left PrideFest organizers about $150,000 short of last year's total, prompting Pride St. Louis to launch the #45for45 fundraiser to bridge the gap.
  • Greenfinch Theater and Dive, a performance space and bar on South Jefferson Avenue, will donate 25% of sales from their remaining Anheuser-Busch products to the Metro Trans Umbrella Group.
  • Rehab Bar and Grill owner Chad Fox stated, "To stand with our LGBTQIA+ community, we have decided to stop carrying all Anheuser-Busch products."
  • Kenny Marks, owner of Kenny's Upstairs, suggested AB InBev's decision to end their sponsorship of St. Louis PrideFest was a response to louder voices expressing homophobia, referencing the 2023 Bud Light controversy involving Dylan Mulvaney where some Missouri Republican legislators protested Bud Light's collaboration with the transgender influencer.
