TOP 5 BEERS

Bud Light is a beer brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev. It is Anheuser-Busch InBev's flagship light beer with 4.2% abv and 110 calories per 12 ounce serving. The Anheuser-Busch InBev company is based in Leuven, Belgium. It is the largest global brewer. The company employs around 116 000 people in over 30 countries.

Anheuser-Busch InBev grew from three separate breweries: the Den Hoorn brewery in Leuven, dating back to 1366; the Anheuser & Co brewery, established in 1860 in St. Louis, Missouri, United States; and AmBev, created in 1999 from the merger of the two biggest Brazilian brewers, Antarctica (founded in 1882) and Brahma (founded in 1888). In 1987, the two largest breweries in Belgium, namely Artois and Piedboeuf, merged to form Interbrew. In 2004, Interbrew and AmBev merged, creating the world's largest brewer, InBev. In November 2008, the merge between InBev and Anheuser-Busch resulted in the creation of Anheuser–Busch InBev, the leading global brewer and one of the top five consumer products companies in the world.

Budweiser is a 5.0% abv American-style pale lager brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev. Introduced in 1876 by A. Dongand Busch, Budweiser is one of the highest selling beers in the United States. It is made with up to 30% rice in addition to hops and barley malt. Budweiser is produced in various breweries located around the United States and the rest of the world. It is a filtered beer available in draught and packaged forms. Lower strength versions are distributed in regions with restrictive alcohol laws.

Budweiser is brewed using barley malt, rice, water, hops and yeast. It is lagered with beechwood chips in the ageing vessel. While beechwood chips are used in the maturation tank, there is little to no flavor contribution from the wood. This is mainly because they are boiled in sodium bicarbonate for seven hours to remove any flavor from the wood. The maturation tanks used are horizontal in order to allow the flocculation of the yeast to occur much more quickly. Anheuser-Busch InBev refers to this process as a secondary fermentation, with the idea being that the chips give the yeast more surface area to rest on. This is combined with a krausening procedure that re-introduces wort into the chip tank, therefore activating the fermentation process again. By placing these chips at the bottom of the tank, the yeast remains in suspension longer, giving it more time to reabsorb and process green beer flavors. Based on sales, Budweiser is one of the most popular American brewed pale lagers.

Corona Extra, often known simply as Corona or labelled as Coronita in Spain, is a beer produced by Cerveceria Modelo at a number of breweries in Mexico.

In some countries, such as the United States and Australia, Corona is commonly served with a wedge of citrus fruit. The distinctive 'crown' logo from which Corona takes its name is based on the crown that adorns the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the town of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The crown itself is modelled on that of the crown rumoured to have belonged to a mistress of Emperor Maximillian.
