Budweiser

Budweiser

Budweiser is an American-style pale lager produced by Anheuser-Busch, part of AB InBev. Internationally, Budweiser may also refer to an entirely different beer brand, originating in the Czech city of České Budějovice, historically known as Budweis.

History

The name "Budweiser" is a German derivative adjective, meaning "of Budweis". Beer has been brewed in Budweis (now České Budějovice, Czech Republic) since it was founded in 1265. Adolphus Busch and his friend Carl Conrad, a liquor importer, developed a "Bohemian-style" lager in the United States, inspired by this region in the Czech Republic, and they launched the beer with the name Budweiser.

Production

Budweiser is made with a large proportion of rice in addition to hops and barley malt. Budweiser is produced in various breweries located around the United States and the rest of the world. It is a filtered beer available in draught and packaged forms.

Marketing

Budweiser has been a major sponsor of NASCAR, and has sponsored many famous drivers such as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick. Budweiser also advertises in many other countries and sports, making it a well-known beer brand worldwide.
