Budweiser
Budweiser is an American-style pale lager, first produced in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1876, with an alcohol-free lager added to the lineup in July 2020. Developed by Adolphus Busch and Carl Conrad and originally introduced by Carl Conrad & Co., Budweiser became the first national beer brand in the United States and the first beer to implement pasteurisation. The Anheuser-Busch brewing company behind the brand had been founded in St. Louis in 1852 as Bavarian Brewery by Eberhard Anheuser and Adolphus Busch. Today Budweiser is owned by Belgian company AB InBev, which holds the trademark in North America.
The name derives from Budweis, a city in what is now the Czech Republic, and that connection has sustained a trademark dispute between the Czech and American producers since 1907. As a result, Budweiser is sold under the name Bud in most of Europe.
The lager is brewed from barley malt, up to 30% rice, hops, water and yeast, filtered, and lagered with beechwood chips, a conditioning process in which the beer rests on wood chips to clarify and smooth the finished liquid.
The alcohol-free lager launched in July 2020 and carries 50 kilocalories per serve. It is aimed at sober-curious drinkers looking for a familiar lager format without alcohol, and is distributed across mainstream retail channels in multiple markets.
