However, the company has shown Bud Light how to handle such situations with grace and integrity.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy began when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yuengling-earns-praise-for-backing-age-restrictions-for-drag-shows\/\" title=\"Yuengling lauded for supporting age limits at drag events.\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media<\/a> posts questioned<\/a> why Yuengling was sponsoring a drag show that claimed to be &#8220;family-friendly&#8221; and allowed children to attend. The event was scheduled as part of Musikfest, an annual festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which Yuengling has sponsored in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The drag show, titled &#8220;Draggin&#8217; with the Divas,&#8221; was advertised as a performance featuring music by popular Queens. However, it was later revealed that Yuengling had no involvement in the drag show itself, and the brewery&#8217;s name was included in the ad simply because they were a sponsor of the overall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/coachella-and-stagecoach-music-festivals-canceled-for-third-time\/\" title=\"Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals canceled for third time\">music fest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Bud Light, Yuengling took immediate action to set the record straight. In a statement shared on Twitter, the company clarified that they support ArtsQuest, the organization behind Musikfest, but have no control over the events and policies at the venue. They also expressed their commitment to promoting responsible drinking and working with ArtsQuest to establish appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-smacks-down-d-c-attendance-caps-on-churches-in-time-for-easter\/\" title=\"Judge Smacks Down D.C.
