Isn’t Budweiser rice beer?
Partially.................
Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch): A classic American lager brewed with rice since 1876, known for its crisp, clean taste and light body. Rice contributes to its smooth, less bitter profile.
Bud Light (Anheuser-Busch): Similar to Budweiser, it uses rice for a light, refreshing taste, popular for its low bitterness and easy drinkability.
From Grok.
“Isn’t Budweiser rice beer?”
Yes. Busch uses corn as an adjunct, that is why it tastes sweeter.
I don’t think real Budweiser, from Budweis, Czech Republic, uses rice. They don’t grow a lot of rice in that country.
It does use milled rice, not rice malt.
From the article: “When used as an adjunct (40% of the grain bill), rice malt could lower production costs by 2-12% compared to using milled rice, mainly by eliminating the need for additional enzymes and processing steps.”
This sounds like the main purpose of this is to make cheap beer cheaper, not to make good beer with alternate ingredients.
“Anheuser Busch is the largest end user of rice in the United States. In 2018, Anheuser Busch purchased more than $120 million of rice; all of it from farms in the United States”
