Country Superstar Garth Brooks Facing Boycott

Garth Brooks has raised the ire of some country music fans after saying he'd serve "every brand of beer" at his new bar — including Bud Light, which conservatives have criticized for its recent collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, according to Business Insider.

Bud Light's collaboration with Mulvaney led to a widespread boycott of the brand and extravagant shows of force against the beer. In one case, MAGA-world favorite Kid Rock filmed himself shooting several cases of the beer to show his disdain for the partnership. 

Brooks, the second-best selling musical artist of all time, told Billboard he hoped Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, which is set to open in the South Broadway District of Nashville, would be "the Chick-fil-A of honky-tonks."

"I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another," he said. "And yes, we're going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It's not our decision to make. Our thing is this: if you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you're an asshole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway." 

Several bars in the same section of lower Broadway, including Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock n' Roll Steakhouse, removed Bud Light from the menu in early April, but when Insider looked at the steakhouse's website in June, the beer was back on the menu.

Brooks' decision to support the beer has angered some of the country star's conservative audience. The hashtag #boycottgarthbrooks has more than 30,700 views.

"He's making me want to go to Nashville just so I could go ahead and piss on his doorstep," said one TikToker.
