About Budweiser
Budweiser, an American-style lager, was introduced in 1876 when
company founder Adolphus Busch set out to create the United States'
first truly national beer brand – brewed to be universally popular
and transcend regional tastes. Each batch of Budweiser stays true
to the same family recipe used by five generations of Busch family
brewmasters. Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavorful, crisp and
pure beer with blended layers of premium American and European hop
aromas, brewed for the perfect balance of flavor and refreshment.
Budweiser is made using time-honored methods including
"kraeusening" for natural carbonation and Beechwood aging, which
results in unparalleled balance and character.
