- Kid Rock may have shot up cases of Bud Light, but the beer is still sold at his Nashville bar.
- CNN's Ryan Young said Bud Light was still on the menu when the outlet visited the bar.
Kid Rock may have shown his contempt for Bud Light when he shot up cases of it in April, but the singer is still selling the beer at his bar in Nashville.
"Despite the online bravado, and talk of a boycott, Bud Light was available when CNN stopped in recently. It is not clear if the ban had been lifted or if there ever had been one to begin with," said CNN's Ryan Young in a segment that aired on Tuesday morning.
CNN's report echoes what some Twitter users have been saying since June.
"@KidRock nice that you shot up the bud light... but its still in your bar," read a June 11 post from a Twitter user named George Shearer.
Shearer's post included a photograph of Kid Rock's bar menu. Bud Light appeared to still be listed on the menu under the category "Domestic Beers." Shearer did not specify when the photo was taken.

Prominent right-wing figures called for a boycott of Bud Light after its parent company Anheuser-Busch partnered with transgender influence Dylan Mulvaney. But Kid Rock took things a step further when he filmed a video of himself shooting up Bud Light cans in April.
The video was posted on the singer's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. The videos have been viewed more than 58 million times across all three platforms.
Representatives from Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock 'N' Roll Steakhouse did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
