Budweiser’s New Beer Is Based on George Washington’s Recipe From 1757

Posted by on in ,

This still might be the MOST AMERICAN BEER they’ve ever made.

Budweiser just announced their newest beer the “Freedom Reserve Red Lager”.  It’s based on a beer recipe by none other than George Washington!
Washington wrote the recipe in his military journal in 1757 with the title,”To Make Small Beer.”

It’s not super complicated but it does include real molasses which isn’t a common beer ingredient these days  and it has very specific instructions for how long to brew, heat, and cool it. It’s hitting stores right now and will be on sale through the end of September.
