(Congress Report) – Earlier this year, Bud Light nearly destroyed itself by producing a beer can that featured the face of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney on it, leading to a massive national boycott that ended up costing its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, billions of dollars. It was a literal example of the phrase, “go woke, go broke.” The company has survived thus far, but they took some pretty heavy hits. Who can blame people for boycotting the product? We’re all sick and tired of the woke agenda being shoved down our throats. We are done being told that holding to traditional values concerning family, faith, and sexuality makes us bigots. So we’re fighting back with our wallets, the one place we can do the most damage.
But according to Fox News, when Ultra Right, a beer brand that was started as a “woke free” alternative to Bud Light, featured the mugshot of former President Donald Trump on their can, it had the exact opposite effect, leading to the company bringing in half a million dollars in just 12 hours of release. Impressive.
The report revealed that the former president’s mugshot was taken in August after he was indicted in the state of Georgia for 13 counts connected to alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The CEO of Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right Beer, Seth Weathers, issued a response not long after the mugshot went viral, launching a limited-edition collector’s can with the photo on it. After Oct. 1, the can will no longer be up for sale, so if you didn’t get it before the cut off date, you’re out of luck.
“Weathers told FOX Business that the beer sales were equivalent to over five tractor loads of cans, in what the businessman described as ‘the most sought-after collector beer can in American history,'” Fox reported.
“We knew people would go wild over these collector cans, but we had no idea the response would be this crazy,” Weathers commented in a press release that was first shared with FOX Business. The CEO made a prediction that sales for the can would hit over $2M on the evening of Oct. 1.

Fox also noted, “Ten percent of sales from the Trump-themed beer will be donated to the legal defense of the Georgia Republican Party and the David Shafer Legal Defense Fund.”
“Sales have poured in from the moment we launched,” Weathers continued. “With over $1 million in beer and merchandise sales, we’ve raised over $50,000 for the legal defense of the Georgia Trump electors and the Georgia Republican Party. Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right Beer puts our money where our mouth is – we’re doing our part to fight back against the unjust persecution of American patriots.”
Trump is just as popular as he’s ever been. Maybe even more so. Each time Democrats attack him, his fan base grows. Why continue to attack if you know that doing so might actually help Trump? It’s oddly self-destructive for progressives.

This is the first that I have heard of Dad’s Ultra Right Beer. They should put out some more cans so more people can get some of them and I am sure they would make even more money from them. USA, USA, USA.
This is the first I’ve heard of it as well. I agree with you 100 %.
We want more cans out!!!
More cans, PLEASE. ( I am not even a beer drinker, but I will use them as gifts😄. ) Thank you.
Must not have been nation wide where available. It should be! I want to try this beer!
Must not have been nationwide where available. It should be! I want to try this beer! Not a duplicate post! Similar, yes, but in response to two individual posters.
