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.

Wow-wee, lotta beer snobs here. Reminds me of a test I did, back when.....

<<><><><

I am an unapologetic beer snob. Well, I was until 2007, in the midst of a trip to Viet Nam, where it was 102 degrees with 99.9 percent humidity at 6am, I rediscovered the beauty of a super cold cheap lager.

For the most part, however, give me a brew from, or inspired by the brewers from the British Isles (you Germans need to learn a thing or two). An ale of some sort, thank you very much.

Weird that so many have such strong distaste for the brand that has the #2 and #3 best selling beers in the world (beaten only by an even lighter, flavorless Chinese beer).

Really? You find it weird that the smartest people in the world (freepers) know stuff the rest of the world doesn’t?

Then you must be familiar with “The Jenny Screams”.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear in making my point—I certainly wasn’t implying that freepers don’t know what tastes good, only that it is counter intuitive that the brand would be held in such low regard by a few and yet so popular with the many.

As they say, there is no accounting for taste.

I remember traveling in Mexico. I ate at an Outback steakhouse.

The menu consisted of reasonable priced Mexican beers, but if you wanted a Foster's it was around $8 per can.

In convenience stores, Budweiser was "available", but it cost roughly 3 times as much as the crappiest Mexican brands.

Like Superior.

I'm not sure they even export that brand to the US.

At least I've never seen it here.

So there IS a demand for Bud, but there must be some kind of tariff situation, at least in Mexico.

Maybe it's a status symbol to be seen drinking a "fine" American beer down there.

My guess is that Mexico just wants you to drink local, cheap brands.

Well hmmm...I never know that mica was also called isinglass...

Back in the day we used mica as an insulator on circuit boards...

Never to old to learn....

Sure as heck would NOT want that it in my beer..!

I used to make a lot beer back a long time ago...the crowd that hung around here back then couldn't care less how clear it might be...or how cold...or much of anything else about it... I guess plentiful was their main concern... :)
