4.5% Overall Impression: Light bodied lager with clean, crisp, dry finish. This is the famous Budweiser beer.
This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Aging produces a taste, a smoothness and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price.
Known as “The King of Beers,” Budweiser was first introduced by Adolphus Busch in 1876 and it’s still brewed with the same high standards today. Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavorful, crisp American-style lager. Brewed with the best barley malt and a blend of premium hop varieties, it is an icon of core American values like optimism and celebration.
Golden color with a subtle honey aroma and a trace of citrus, punctuated by notes of malt and noble hops. A perfectly balanced, full-flavoured lager with a crisp, clean and fast finish.
Budweiser supports British farmers sourcing 75% of it’s malted barley locally and aiming to reach 100% of British barley by 2020.
Food Pairing with Budweiser Beer
Complements rich, aromatic, spicy and smokey foods such as chili, BBQ ribs, grilled chicken and beef.
With slightly more body and alcohol intensity than a light lager, Budweiser can stand up against a bit more flavour. However, it’s most perfectly matched with medium/low intensity fatty and fried food that are a staple of most menus.
Home-Run Pairing: Hamburger and Chips
The American classic of Hamburger and chips are a match made in heaven for an ice cold American lager like Budweiser. Due to the fatty nature of this dish it can easily become stodgy and boring, however, Budweiser’s high carbonation cleanses the palate after each bite.
The slight grainy and bready notes pair nicely with a toasted burger bun, whilst the sweetness from the ketchup will be matched by the beers malts but kept in check by the slight bitterness.
