Anheuser-Busch InBev has accused rival brewer Miller Coors of obtaining the secret recipes for Bud Light and Michelob Ultra, the latest shot in a long-running legal dispute.
The world's largest brewer claimed Thursday in U.S. court documents that Miller Coors, a subsidiary of Molson Coors, has obtained the "precise recipes" for some of its most popular beers, which it considers trade secrets.
The battle between the brewers started when Anheuser-Busch InBev suggested in advertisements during this year's Super Bowl that corn syrup was being used to make Miller Lite and Coors Lite.
Miller Coors responded in March with a lawsuit that described the ads as "false and misleading."
In May, a judge ordered Anheuser-Busch InBev to stop using certain language related to corn syrup in its advertising and allowed Miller Coors to proceed with its action.
Last month, the court told Anheuser-Busch InBev to stop using the phrase "no corn syrup" on its packaging.
The new legal filing, which is heavily redacted, claims that an employee of the Budweiser brewer sent information including the recipes for Bud Light and Michelob Ultra to an employee of Miller Coors around the time of the Super Bowl.

Why would anyone want to steal that?
Hard to imagine someone stealing the recipe for undrinkable swill.
Why would you *WANT* the recipe to Bud Light?
True that I remember I was in a bar once and this British lady was there she took a drink of one of our “lite” beers (it might have been Bud) and exclaimed in a full Cockney accent “you call this bird piss beer!?”.
What? Water?
Your typical horse produces gallons of Bud Light every day.
I can think of one reason - so that you don’t accidentally make anything remotely like that horrific substance.
pizzwater.....
Drinking lite beer is like having sex in a canoe - its f*cking close to water.
It could have been the horses who leaked the secret.
HaHa, I see what you did there ;-)
If they tried to sell that as beer in Germany, it'd be jail time big time!
I already knew it. Two cups of hydrogen plus one cup of oxygen. Multiply per batch size.
Yeah, I was thinking that they’d probably have a hard time giving that away.
Remember Billy Carter, Jimmy’s drunken brother? Someone in GA offered a crappy brew to tourists and named it “Billy Beer”. A local farmer, after tasting Billy Beer sent a sample to the State Ag lab to be analyzed. The subsequent report read, “Farmer Jones:We regret to inform you that your mule has diabetes”.
I kept hashing over what the big secret could be. I was sitting here thinking about the taste. I then went and cleaned the cat box and it came to me.
The secret ingredient isn’t an ingredient. It is filtration. After brewing it is filtered through used cat litter.
LOL. Love the responses. Once I was at I believe the Waco, Texas airport waiting 2 hours for a flight. I sat down at the bar to drink a beer, and they had Budweiser, Pearl a brand I didn’t like. And another beer that I did not like. So I said I’ll just give me a Budweiser. And the guy next to me, total stranger said I’ll get that. I looked at him, surprised and said well thank you very much. So we began to talk and it turned out but he was the regional manager for Budweiser. And I said how come you guys don’t get into Brewing some nice dark beer, or something stronger than Budweiser? And he said let me tell you that all the dark beer we could ever make from now until the end of time would not make as much money as increasing Budweiser sales by one third of 1%.
Step 1: Water the horse
Step 2: Wait 2 hours
Step 3: Place large pail under rear portion of horse
Step 4: Bottle and label
They must have kidnapped the horse.
