NEW YORK — The King of Beers is bowing down to a food blogger.

Anheuser-Busch unveiled the ingredients of Budweiser and Bud Light for the first time Thursday, a day after a popular food blogger started an online petition to get major brewers to list what’s in their beverages.

Anheuser-Busch, which also makes Beck’s, Busch and Michelob beers, said it will list the ingredients for all of its other brands online “in the coming days.”

On its website, tapintoyourbeer.com, Anheuser-Busch lists the same ingredients for Budweiser and Bud Light: Water, barley malt, rice, yeast and hops.

The company said it is not required to list ingredients for its products, but will do so as Americans demand it.

“We want to meet their expectations,” the company said in a statement.

When I was ...much younger ;) a friends dad, a total alky got us each a case for christmas. We each opened an Iron city, had a swallow and tossed it.

Even his dad refused to drink it after he tried it.

I olden days in Germany a brewer who use rice in beer was in danger of have an ear cut off. Good law in my opinion.

Other brew-meisters haven’t been able to keep the secret.

Micky’s Big Mouth for instance, passed their recipe through a horse.

They also toss in beechwood logs when it’s aging, which probably adds something.

I liked 12 Horse Ale. Definitely the best tasting stuff that came out of that brewery.

I think I had 3 friends growing up that all had fathers w/ converted refrigerator/kegerators in their garages. All of them were always tapped with Genessee.

50 cent drafts at the local bar. We all drank it. And we all paid for it. Still worth every sip though! No pain, no gain!

On its website, tapintoyourbeer.com, Anheuser-Busch lists the same ingredients for Budweiser and Bud Light:

Piss, horse feces, Rice-A-Roni, vaginal yeast and Le Bron James' hops.

“Guinness may have small amounts of fish guts in it, they’re used as “fining” to help settle out sediment.”

Algore says the secret ingredient in Miller Lite is salamander assholes.

“I will say there is much worse.”

Ballantine....that had to be a mistake by the brewer.

Here's a delicious beer- Victory Golden Monkey brewed in Pennsylvania. And at 9.5%, it's what I call lite beer- since you can only drink one, it's half the calories of two normal beers.
