The new beer, dubbed Budweiser Supreme, is billed as a "reimagining" of its classic lager — nothing radical, just a new take on a familiar beverage, which is the American golden lager.
Budweiser Supreme is brewed with honey malt and the same yeast used for the classic Budweiser and triple-filtered. At 4.6% alcohol by volume, Supreme has slightly less alcohol than Budweiser does, which has an ABV of 5%.
Budweiser Supreme, which debuted on Monday, comes in 12-ounce bottles, 12-ounce cans, and 25-ounce cans (which are popular at sports venues) in select parts of California, Ohio, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C.
