Moreover, he went on to say that Bud Light, which is facing criticism for its partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, is among the most popular beer labels in the United States of America.
Hence, as a bar owner, he has decided to sell it and would let his establishment’s patrons decide whether they want to buy it or not.
He mentioned, ‘So, here’s the deal, man if you want to come to Friends in Low Places, come in. But come in with love, come in with tolerance, patience. Come in with an open mind, and it’s cool.’

Garth Brooks is facing boycott calls amid his decision to sell Bud Light
Garth Brooks has come under fire after he announced that he will sell ‘every brand of beer’ at his new bar Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk in Nashville, Tennessee.
In addition, this has resulted in conservatives saying that they will boycott the musician.
Robby Starbuck, a conservative commentator, took to her Twitter on Friday to urge Brooks’s followers to not visit his new bar.
For the unversed, Starbuck recently made headlines when Megan Fox slammed her for her take on the way her children dress.
Besides that, a Twitter user wrote, ‘I was a huge fan of yours back in the early nineties.’
Meanwhile, the backlash comes after the music icon made the claim last week during a panel at Billboard Country Live at the CMA Fest.
He said at that time, ‘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.’
