Heroes get remembered, but legendary stories involving Anheuser-Busch and Major League Baseball never die. During an era where Coors Field exists in Denver, Colorado…the 1950s story involving August “Gussie” Busch Jr., Anheuser-Busch beer brands, and Major League Baseball almost doesn't feel real. Less than two months after buying the St. Louis Cardinals in 1953, August “Gussie” Busch Jr. announced that the Anheuser-Busch brewery had also purchased Sportsman's Park…and intended to rename it Budweiser Stadium. This was a bigtime (and certainly ahead of its time) strategic marketing decision, as Anheuser-Busch (which was founded by his grandfather) wouldn't become the largest brewer in the United States until 1957. So then, why has the St. Louis Cardinals stadium been known as Busch Stadium and not Budweiser Stadium for the last 70+ years? Well…before the day ended, Gussie revised his Sportsman's Park announcement, and the ballpark would actually be known as Busch Stadium “in memory of the founder and past presidents of Anheuser-Busch.” But what happened that day has long been an object of speculation. And while Ford Frick (the MLB commissioner from 1951 to 1965) supposedly only knew of Gussie Busch's original “Budweiser Stadium” announcement just before it happened and made no public comment on that day…the press generally gave credit to Ford Frick for the wild day of stadium naming announcements. Why? Back in the 1950s, baseball was rapidly commercializing, and purists of America's pastime largely opposed corporate ownership. Additionally, while beer has been a quintessential part of the ballpark experience for more than a century, not every stakeholder liked that baseball and beer got cemented together permanently after the Busch family purchased the St. Louis Cardinals. It's not known if he ever spoke directly to Gussie Busch on the matter that day, but credit was most likely given due to it being widely known that Ford Frick spending considerable time persuading Busch to set up a new corporate entity to govern the sports franchise…essentially acting as a buffer from the appearance of direct corporate control. And with Busch announcing the stadium would be named after the brewery's most popular product, it undermined all that hard work by Ford Frick (and likely revealed the limits of his reserved temperament). But here's where you get to really learn about the temperament of the other party involved…as Gussie Busch was strong-willed and known to have a vindictive streak. But the lore surrounding that day (has been passed down generations), as the feud with MLB Commissioner Ford Frick triggered ideation for the creation of Busch Lager, which officially launched two years later in 1955. And though it seems neither the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum nor Anheuser-Busch claim to have any documentation confirming (or denying) the accuracy of this legendary story, there's no denying that Gussie Busch (who had never sat through an entire nine-inning game) cared only how baseball could better sell beer…effectively changing sports marketing forever. Today, beer is deeply integrated into the Major League Baseball experience, with Budweiser serving as the sport's longest-standing sponsor…becoming the official beer of MLB dating back to 1980.

Hurray's Girl Beer isn't just another craft brand. It's a calculated rebellion against an industry stuck in the past. In this episode, Hurray's founder Ray Biebuyck joins Taste Radio editor Ray Latif and Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante to share her vision for a beer brand that doesn't just challenge convention, it openly mocks it. Witty, unapologetic, and intentionally unorthodox, Hurray's markets flavored light beers, including Pineapple Yuzu and Blueberry Lavender varieties, crafted not to honor tradition, but to disrupt it. The brand's satirical, female-forward positioning flips the script in a category that has long overlooked nearly a third of its audience: women. Ray discusses how Hurray's draws more from stand-up comedy than legacy brewing playbooks, using humor and irreverence as tools for connection, and conversion. She also reveals how this disruptive approach is translating into real-world traction, with Hurray's on track to reach over 3,000 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, BevMo, Total Wine, Sprouts, and Walmart, by Q1 2026. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ray Biebuyck, Founder & CEO, Hurray's Girl Beer – Ray traces her roots back to New England and her early career in the corporate world, with stints at J.P. Morgan and WeWork after graduating from college in New York City. She discussed how, at the onset of the pandemic, she stepped in to support operations for a local beverage alcohol brand and recognized a gap in the market: a disconnect between male-dominated beer branding and female consumers. Ray eventually launched Hurray's Girl Beer in 2024 and shares the uphill journey of pitching a new beer brand in a male-dominated, slowing market, and how she carved out a niche by courting an underserved audience. She recalls self-distributing cases out of a Toyota Camry to landing shelf space in 200 retail doors across Los Angeles and Orange County and how Girl Beer secured distribution at Whole Foods, BevMo, and Total Wine. Ray also details the pivotal relationship with an Anheuser-Busch-aligned distributor, which accelerated growth and expanded reach and why she believes the brand is on track for a breakout year in 2026. Brands in this episode: Hurray's Girl Beer, Shacksbury Cider, Woodchuck Cider, Magic Hat, Ben & Jerry's, Seventh Generation, Green Mountain Coffee, Poppi, Olipop, Liquid Death, Garage Beer, Surfside, Budweiser, Bud Light, Golden Road, Elysian, Busch, Heineken, White Claw, Truly, Bud Light Seltzer, Michelob Ultra, Friday Beers

In 2015, the most lucrative beverage industry deal ended up happening between Monster Beverage and The Coca-Cola Company. But what doesn't get talked about enough is how that long-term strategic partnership caused another beverage giant to experience the categorical version of the movie “50 First Dates.” And that's because before Coca-Cola became the exclusive global distribution partner of Monster Energy, Anheuser-Busch was the preferred domestic distributor…in the early phase of its “beyond beer” strategic transformation. But while AB InBev could've then aggressively pursued the acquisition of Bang Energy or more recently CELSIUS, GHOST, or Alani Nu…which had all been essentially built off the back of the beer giant's distributor network, it made the head scratching decision to buy HiBall Energy in 2017. And while AB InBev discontinued the all-natural energy drinks in 2023…it sold the defunct brand IP to Tilray a handful of months later. But now with more focus being placed on HiBall, the business is growing substantially on Amazon and returning to Whole Foods Market…a retailer where brand loyalty was strong. So, it begs the question…is there some kind of categorical curse on AB InBev that I haven't heard of yet?

Maxx Cumby McGee has been planning the Gott Street Blues clothing brand since the 90s when she was one of a very few women in the construction world - life just delayed it. Maxx's story is both hillarious and eye opening; how she started in modeling at 19, and got into construction by making friends with the CEO of Anheuser-Busch, and showing up on her first day with a pink toolbox and men's work clothes that nearly got her injured because there were no women's work clothes. This is a longer episode, but I'll bet it goes by quicker than you expect, because Maxx is very entertaining, and this story about fashion for the workplace is fascinating!If you asked Maxx  what GottStreet Blues is about, she would say,"Clothing for women doing physical labor, clothing that was made with women in mind, getting past vanity sizing, meeting comfort with functionality and fit for women specifically." We talk about this a lot because it's been a real issue for her at work, and it affects others today, as more women are entering the trades for work. GottStreet Blues is a sustainable clothing company for women who work in the trades - or women who have trouble finding clothes that really fit (raising my hand). Maxx's message she wants you to remember: "Trust yourself, you can do anything, anytime, at any age." To Dye For documentary: https://www.todyeforthedocumentary.com/You can find Maxx's website here https://gottstreetblues.com/She's also on TikTok here https://www.tiktok.com/@maxxwell814Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Ashish Gupta, founder and CEO of ScaleUp Exec, brings a unique perspective to pricing from his experience building and selling multiple companies across technology, e-commerce, and subscription businesses. Starting his career at Anheuser-Busch (as the company's only non-drinker), Ashish has led businesses from startup to eight-figure valuations, giving him deep insights into pricing across different business models and growth stages. In this episode, Ashish shares unconventional pricing strategies that transformed his businesses, including how he convinced vendors to provide products for free by repositioning his company as a marketing partner rather than a traditional retailer.   Why you have to check out today's podcast:  Discover how to identify and target the specific customer segments willing to pay premium prices for your unique value proposition.  Learn the "influencer plus" strategy that transforms vendor relationships from cost centers into revenue-generating partnerships.  Understand how subscription businesses create deeper customer relationships and the pricing implications of holding customer credit cards.   "Instead of trying to go to a general audience, which may or may not be interested in paying you more for something unique about your product, really try and understand who is that core set of people that will find real value and be willing to pay for that value."  – Ashish Gupta   Topics Covered:  01:48 — Ashish's entrepreneurial journey: From Anheuser-Busch to multiple successful exits. 03:42 — The psychology of subscription pricing: Why holding credit cards creates deeper customer relationships. 07:54 — Win, Keep, Grow framework: The often-overlooked "grow" component in subscription businesses.  11:03 — ScaleUp Exec's fractional COO model: Bringing enterprise talent to small and medium businesses.  13:45 — Revenue growth strategies: How COOs approach customer acquisition and diversification differently. 17:34 — The pricing audit revelation: Why PE firms consistently find underpriced acquisitions. 22:01 — The "off balance sheet CFO" positioning strategy for premium pricing.  22:58 — The vendor flip strategy: From paying wholesale to getting products for free. 24:04 — Building the "influencer plus" model: Combining audience and distribution for vendor value.   Key Takeaways: "I think relationship and subscription are, they kind of go hand in hand. That means I have to always be getting value. I have to have this confidence that, if somebody has my credit card and I've given them authorization to charge it versus like, let's say an Amazon, I'm proactively going in and saying, yes, I want this item." – Ashish Gupta "If we can build out our own audience, and grow that audience to be something meaningful and have a deep connection with that audience so that they really trust us, our brand as a retailer, then we can actually talk with our vendors and say, hey, we're no longer a retailer, we're really a marketing company." – Ashish Gupta   Resources and People Mentioned:  Anheuser-Busch: https://www.anheuser-busch.com  Shopify Shop Pay: https://www.shopify.com/shop-pay  PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/  Mark Stiving's book: "Win, Keep, Grow" about subscription businesses   Connect with Ashish Gupta:  Website: https://scaleupexec.com/  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashish-gup/    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/  Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Have you ever heard the saying that goes something like “when you get older…don't meet the people you looked up to when younger because they'll surely disappoint”? Well…way back (about two decades ago at this point) when I was working towards my undergraduate and MBA degrees, professors would obviously cite contemporary business events to clearly connect academic lessons with real world applications. But specifically, I vividly remember marketing professors discussing aspects of the Super Bowl beer ads and my corporate finance and strategy professors extracting insights from the mega merger between (and subsequent integration of) Anheuser-Busch and InBev. And there's a common thread between those two core memories. Until the recording of this podcast episode, I had not met Dave Peacock…but analyzed many of his decisions in the late-2000s and early-2010s when he led marketing and then became President of Anheuser-Busch, which likely subconsciously helped construct the foundation of my unique strategic perspective surrounding the CPG industry. And since the meeting happened spontaneously…you'll notice I was in “listen mode” more than I'm normally within these conversational content pieces. And it's probably because, unlike that saying…the stories and insights shared by Dave Peacock, from his time at Anheuser-Busch and the grocery store Schnuck Markets to currently at Advantage Solutions, did not disappoint at all.

In this heartfelt episode of The Fathers Of The Future Podcast, host Luke Kayyem welcomes Chris Clements, a friend, brother, and father, whose son Preston has been a client of Luke's for the past year. Chris is the co-host of Light Beer, Dark Money, a podcast exploring faith, freedom, and free enterprise, now thriving on the Star Worldwide Networks. The episode delves into Chris's journey as a legacy business owner, taking over Golden Eagle Distributors, a major Anheuser-Busch wholesaler, after his father's sudden passing from lung cancer in 1995. At just 25, Chris was thrust into a leadership role amidst personal grief, family dynamics, and a toxic company environment, forcing him to grow up quickly while navigating challenges in the beer industry and his own identity.Chris shares how his faith became a cornerstone after hitting a spiritual rock bottom, particularly after a wake-up call from his wife about his drinking and its impact on his son. This led to a transformative period of sobriety, prayer, and realigning his identity with his faith, ultimately influencing his decision to sell the business in 2015. The conversation explores themes of legacy, fatherhood, and balancing professional success with personal growth. Chris reflects on lessons from his father's mentorship under August Busch III and the importance of truth, excellence, and time with family. Luke and Chris discuss the rarity of successful men prioritizing faith without hitting rock bottom, emphasizing Chris's unique journey of integrating faith, freedom, and family into his life's work.Light Beer, Dark Money Podcast go to:lightbeerdarkmoney.comAre you stuck?

In the cultural war zones of corporate America, something strange is happening. June has arrived—but the battlefield looks... quiet. Rainbow logos are missing from brands that once flew them proudly. Anheuser-Busch, after three decades, has pulled its sponsorship from St. Louis Pride. Target, rejected by organizers in its own backyard, is sitting on the sidelines in Minneapolis. And Nike? For the first time since 1999, no global Pride collection.Pride Month—once the high holy season of the modern West—looks less like a parade and more like a retreat.But is it?Is this merely a tactical withdrawal, a marketing pause in response to conservative backlash? Or is it something deeper? Is it, perhaps, the beginning of a broader collapse—something more than a pendulum swing?We've seen pendulum swings before. The 1920s flaunted its rebellion, only to sober up in the dustbowl austerity of the Great Depression. The sexual revolution of the 60s gave way to the Moral Majority of the 80s. But neither lasted. Both faded. Both were reactions, not reformations or returns to what is true.In this episode, we'll examine that pattern—what distinguishes a short-lived recoil from a lasting revival. We'll report on what's really happening with Pride Month in 2025: which corporations are retreating, which still advance under a quieter banner, and how the local landscape tells a more complicated story than national headlines admit.And then we'll ask the only question that matters: If this were the beginning of a true Christian reformation—what would it look like?Because repentance doesn't look like silence. It looks like confession. It looks like repudiation. It looks like CEOs not just dropping rainbow logos but publicly affirming God's truth.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.
