The Budweiser brand is permanently scarred, because they can't apologize for what they did. They just can't.
What Inbev SHOULD do, is put A-B up for sale, and it will be a fire sale. A daring American buyer could buy it, slash and burn through the C-Suite, H.R., and middle management, going on a literal witch hunt against leftists.
Then, the ad campaign writes itself. Hey America, we took this once venerated company back from foreign hands, publicly rid it of people who don't like traditional America, and we're now going to simply focus on brewing beer here in America, and we're the only mass market brand actually still owned by Americans.
Then I'd bring back Spuds McKenzie, except it will be Spud's great, great, great granddog, and we can have all the ad fodder we want, explaining what Spud's family has been up to, while seeing that Spuds VI is a chip off the old block, partying with bikini clad, actually female hotties. Tie in The Spud's family hanging out with the Clydesdales, and expand the characters to include the Dalmations that hang out with the Clydesdales.
