I feel like meme magic has a longer-term effect than that; no amount of apologies or counter-campaigns will erase the "shaming factor" that will make young men (which I assume is their primary market) afraid to be seen drinking the stuff for the foreseeable future. I think the damage to the brand is unfixable at this point; any new strategy they employ will merely remind people of the controversy.
