At 2Bears Tavern Uptown, Mark Robertson cracked open a Bud Light, not to drink, but to pour down the drain.

Budweiser pivots with new ad after partnership with transgender TikTok star stirs backlash

Robertson said Anheuser-Busch should be ashamed of what he says is its lack of conviction and support of his community. It all started after Anheuser-Busch partnered with trans woman influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote Bud Light. That sparked major backlash from the political right, with Kid Rock even using bud light for target practice.

"We would not let a customer stand here and say anti-trans things. We are certainly not going to let a beer go across our bar that is letting people say anti-trans things," Robertson said.
