Anheuser-Busch -- Bud Light

Nothing quite says beer like Bud Light.  If you could drink America, it would be Bud Light.


The brewery was originally on the brink of bankruptcy when it was purchased in 1860 by Eberhard Anheuser, who was a soap maker.  After initially making beer that tasted like soap, his son-in-law Adolphus Busch joined as a partner to form Anheuser-Busch and they perfected their craft. After expanding the family business world wide, they continued expansion by starting Busch theme parks.  St. Louis, Missouri seemed like a good location to get the finest muddy water around.  In 2008 Anheuser-Busch was sold to InBev for $52-billion where it continued the family tradition by immediately laying off 1400 people.  Unfortunately, InBev sold some of the corporate jets and made executives answer their own phones.  InBev now controls the three best selling beers in the world: Budweiser, Bud Light, and Skol.  Tasty!

Bud Light is a lager style beer with less calories.  Really is there anything you could hate about this beer?  Pouring it gives that light frothy head and allows you to see the clear straw color.  Its balanced between hops and malt so it is sure to please everyone with its "fresh" and "clean" flavor.  It has a water-y flavor and consistency so as to not dehydrate you.  It has a light zesty flavor that dances on your taste buds with just the right amount of carbonation.  The bottle describes as being "Brewed with the Finest Ingredients for a Refreshingly Smooth Taste" so you know its a beer of the highest quality.  Five out of five stars!
