Budweiser

It is made with up to 30% rice in addition to hops and barley malt. Produced in various breweries around the world Budweiser is a filtered beer available in draught and packaged forms. Budweiser is brewed using barley malt, rice, water, hops and yeast. It is lagered with beech wood chips in the ageing vessel which according to Anheuser-Busch creates a smoother taste. While beech wood chips are used in the maturation tank there is little to no flavor contribution from the wood mainly because they are boiled in sodium bicarbonate for seven hours for the very purpose of removing any flavor from the wood.

Some drinkers prefer the lightness of beers like Budweiser and consume it as a refreshment or for its inebriating effects. Budweiser and Bud Light are sometimes advertised as vegan beers in that their ingredients and conditioning do not use animal by-products. In addition to the regular Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch brews several different beers under the Budweiser brand including Bud Light and Bud Ice. In July 2010 Anheuser-Busch launched Budweiser 66 in the United Kingdom. Budweiser Brew No.66 has 4% alcohol by volume and is brewed and distributed in the UK by Inbev UK Limited.
