About this beer
This is the 15th of 29 labels we have from Anheuser-Busch. It is one of 89 american lager / light lager labels approved in August 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day.
A formal heraldic emblem dominates the upper third, rendered in navy and white with geometric rays and the AB monogram centred within a shield. Below the emblem, the text "The Great American" and "Budweiser Lager Beer" flanks a horizontal banner containing brewing claims. The field is divided horizontally—upper red with the emblem and banner, lower white with the brand name in navy serif capitals and "King of Beers" tagline. Regulatory text runs vertically along both edges of the red field.
