Well, it seems that it was never a popular brand and much often not even heard of. I will leave a quote from one of the blogs I researched for the piece, which I left out in the end, but still think it is a nice input: "How do we boycott a beer that nobody drinks?!"

I can't believe that this campaign ever got started in the first place, what were they thinking? That gay people don't drink beer? It would be interesting to learn what the normal market for this brand is in Portugal, that they would think this would go over well with them. The final poster in this article is very interesting. That they would frame it that way is actually pretty mature. When they say "you are free to disagree with this campaign" it almost makes me think that they had already planned to change the posters once the campaign became controversial, but somehow I doubt that they succeeded very well if that was their goal.
