Beer Brand Defends ‘Commemorative Can’ to Celebrate Trans Activists’ ‘365 Days of Girlhood’

A beer maker is defending its decision to make a “commemorative can” to celebrate a “milestone” of a transgender activist.

Beer company Anheuser-Busch recently sent transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a special pack of Bud Light. The cans featured Mulvaney’s face on them.

And the move prompted a backlash.

However, in a statement to Fox News, Anheuser-Busch said, “Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points.”

“From time to time we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public,” it added.

On Saturday, Mulvaney revealed the company sent the commemorative cans to mark the celebration of the influencer’s “365 Days of Girlhood.”

Mulvaney also posted a video that was recorded in the bathtub, which was reportedly part of a campaign for the brand.

Conservatives took to Twitter to criticize the beer brand.
