St. Louis Lager was the flagship brand for Anheuser-Busch when it was first founded in St. Louis more than 160 years ago. This darker, lager style beer which began as a regional beer was ultimately distributed all over the world – earning gold medals at tasting competitions in Philadelphia, Paris and Amsterdam.
More than 115 years since it was last produced, the iconic beer is being brewed for a limited time at the company’s Research Pilot Brewery in St. Louis based on the original recipe from the Anheuser-Busch archives and will be available at the Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Biergarten while supplies last.
“We’ve come a long way in the last 160 years and while consumer tastes and products have changed over the years, our commitment to brewing high-quality, innovative products continues to be at the core of everything we do,” said Colleen Lucas, vp-Corporate Social Responsibility and Heritage. “By bringing back St. Louis Lager this December, we are proud to recognize the community that has enabled us to continue to grow and connect with consumers all over the world.”
In recognition of Anheuser-Busch’s and its Foundation’s longstanding commitment and non-profit partnerships in the local St. Louis community, the beer will be unveiled this week ahead of Giving Tuesday and followed by a special thank you reception for their local non-profit partners.
