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.

Hey, I don't see "piss" on that list, but I swear it's in there.

Rice is a cheap source of alcohol.

I wonder what the food bloggers are expecting to be disclosed... it isn’t like there is a lot of variety in beer ingredients.

Rolling Rock was a decent, drinkable rice-based brew before inbev got their hands on it and moved production out of Latrobe.

I want the ingredient list for NY’s Genessee Beer.

Made from the crystal pure and pristine waters of the Genesee River.

Oh yes. Crystal pure...

Well, inbev owns Budweiser and it’s actually brewed in Newark.

Beck’s and Bass Ale, now made in America: They both officially suck.

Maybe you should try something a bit hoppy with an ABV of 6 or above? Say an IPA.

Just a suggestion. ;-)

Sorry, the best beer on earth is an ice cold Bud in a can on a hot summers day. If you don’t drink alcohol, change Bud to Coke.
