Apparently, it’ll only be Miller time in Kid Rock’s house.

Days after rival beer giant Anheuser-Busch joined up with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, the right-leaning rocker went viral for shooting up cases of Bud Light.

“Grandpa’s feeling a little frisky today,” the self-styled “Rock N Roll Jesus” said in a 35-second clip posted to his social media accounts late Monday.

“Let me say something to all of you and be as clear and concise as possible,” he said as he picked up a rifle and shot up several cases of Bud Light, which recently tied itself to the divisive trans activist with transition congratulations and gifts.

The 52-year-old Kid Rock wasn’t just wasting time either, calling for boycotts of all Anheuser-Busch products at least all summer long.

“F—- Bud Light, and f—- Anheuser-Busch,” he said as he made an obscene finger gesture to the camera.

He signed off by telling his viewers to “have a terrific day” though he did not mention Mulvaney.

But it wasn’t only God who knows why, and viewers — 8 million on Twitter alone, according to the New York Post — immediately understood the video as a dis against the Bud Light campaign celebrating Mulvaney’s “365 days of womanhood.”

“Thank you for joining the boycott, Kid!” wrote author Nick Adams, who earlier had denounced Anheuser-Busch’s “Judas-level betrayal of the alpha-male community.”

“I don’t care how cold the Bud is, I don’t care how hot the Hooters server who is serving it is — a Bud beer … will never again pass my lips,” Mr. Adams said. “The boycott has begun.”

Not all the reaction was positive, some noting the irony of paying Anheuser-Busch for the beer and then wasting it.

“You are supposed to drink beer, not shoot it,” actor Damon Gonzalez told him.

Anheuser-Busch sent Mulvaney personalized beer with her face on the can.

Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points,” a company spokesperson told Fox News.

It’s not for others though.

“This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public,” the company added.
