Anheuser-Busch Celebrating 150 Years of Budweiser in 2026 / Budweiser Zero

This is an impressive birthday coming soon for Budweiser & Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, Missouri. This is the 150th Anniversary commemorative packaging for Budweiser Lager Beer and it will help celebrate 150 Years of Bud (1876-2026). Of course, the beer will remain a pale lager that will hit 5%-ABV and look for this 12-oz cans and bottle packaging to be announced in a few months. I’ve also added in the 2025 packaging for Budweiser Zero 150 (0.0%-AbV, 12-oz bottles, 12-oz cans, 50 calories, 12.1g carbs).

Label Text Anheuser-Busch Budweiser 150th Anniversary:

“Brewed by our original process for 150 years from the Choicest Hops, Rice, and Best Barley Malt. Proudly brewed in America with quality ingredients for 150 Years. Since 1876”

About Anheuser-Busch / Budweiser:

Budweiser is a well-known American-style pale lager, brewed with a blend of premium hop aromas and barley malt, and up to 30% rice, according to the brewery’s website. Introduced in 1876 by Adolphus Busch, it was one of the first beers to become a truly national brand due to innovations like pasteurization and refrigerated rail cars, allowing for long-distance shipping without spoilage. The brand is often associated with the famous “Budweiser Clydesdales,” the large draft horses that debuted in 1933 to celebrate the end of Prohibition.


Brewing Style:It’s an American-style pale lager, brewed to be a medium-bodied, flavorful, and crisp beer.

Key Ingredients:Budweiser is made with a blend of premium American and European hop aromas, along with barley malt and up to 30% rice.

Brewing Process:The brand uses time-honored methods, including “kraeusening” for natural carbonation and beechwood aging, which imparts balance and character.

History:Birth in 1876: Adolphus Busch aimed to create the U.S.’s first national beer brand, inspired by European lagers.

National Distribution: Innovations like pasteurization and refrigerated rail cars were crucial to making it the first beer shipped coast-to-coast.

Clydesdale Connection: The iconic Clydesdales were a gift from the Busch family and are a lasting symbol of the brand.

Current Status:Budweiser is currently part of AB InBev, one of the world’s largest brewers, and is brewed in 63 breweries globally. It remains one of the largest-selling beers in the United States.
