Garth Brooks has heard all the noise about him promising to sell Bud Light at his new Nashville bar — and he’s here to put out the fire … by again vowing BL will be on tap.
The country star hopped on camera Monday to address the “stir” that had been caused by his comments last week — namely, where he alluded to the fact that he’d be serving the now-controversial Anheuser-Busch brand at his forthcoming Honky Tonk on Broadway.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
You’d think his OG remarks were quite clear in his stance — and, on their face, they certainly were — but GB wanted to hit the point home further by elaborating on his rationale.
Check out his breakdown on why he’s going to sell Bud Light in his establishment — he says this is all about diversity and inclusiveness, which he wants his business to foster … and which he says he’s always been about as a person. We know, that might be a shocker to folks.
As for those who disagree with him on this issue — and even those who might choose to boycott his bar — Garth has a telling response … hey man, that’s okay too. It’s a refreshing take.
Now, on top of wanting to host a place where all are welcome … Garth also says that, as far as his beer selection, it’s the people and patrons who actually decide what’s going to be served — and they do so with the use of their dollar. Basically, he says Bud Light is still one of the most popular beers around … and until it isn’t, it’s going to have a place there.
Have any of my Friends in Low Places hanging out on Broadway seen this yet?! Nashville, I CAN’T WAIT for this weekend! love, g#FILPonBROADWAY pic.twitter.com/LZkVc5bL3H

Garth’s got one final message for anyone who wants to swing by and enjoy themselves — in short, he says to come in with love and acceptance … and with an open mind too.
The simplicity in his PSA is actually charming, and it sorta puts this whole “controversy” in perspective. We now live in a time where people are riled up about who’s drinking what beer — and the way Garth explains it, that’s all pretty damn silly.
Cheers, y’all.
