NOT Susan Rice.
Not even Uncle Ben’s, for that matter.

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.

If it’s not made by fermenting barley malt, it isn’t really beer. Other things can be added, but barley malt is what makes beer beer.

“Isn’t Budweiser rice beer?”
Yes. Busch uses corn as an adjunct, that is why it tastes sweeter.

I’ve been enjoying rice beer for a long time. Coors light is a rice beer.

I don’t think real Budweiser, from Budweis, Czech Republic, uses rice. They don’t grow a lot of rice in that country.

“”The original 1516 Bavarian law governed that the only ingredients allowed were malt (germinated, dried barley), hops and water. The properties of yeast were unknown at the time, but it was later allowed, as was wheat, which was initially reserved for baking bread.””

.

No. Rice.

That’s like putting beans in chili.

I’ve been working in the Coors malthouse in Golden, CO for almost 25 years. We get barley from farmers in several states. First I’d heard of this.

Just looked again.
The words, “Climate change,” is mentioned FOUR times.

In the name of their god of climate change, I think they’re trying to scare the industry.
JMHO.

Climate change has nothing to do with it. Import restrictions and global conflict are enough to explain any shortage of barley. The only way to use climate change as a reason for anything is by making it part of a list.

You know what else? They say the yield per hectare which is a measure of land. If you have more yield per hectare you are using less land.

I like my beer.
My doctor say’s I drink to much of it but at my age(70) I don’t care.
My Favorite beer is Beck’s DARK!
But I can’t afford it often.
I will not drink Budweiser.
Or Coors Light, I’ll get a Seven up instead.
My daily beer is “Rolling rock”.
It is barely drinkable, but is affordable.
Flame on guys!
