Budweiser’s New Beer Is Based On George Washington’s Recipe From 1757
Has anyone seen this beer in Sacramento yet? Tried it?

Just in time for summer, Budweiser is making one of the most American beers ever!
The brew is called “Freedom Reserve Red Lager” and is based on a recipe our first President George Washington jotted down in his military journal 261 years ago. According to USA Today, its not a super complicated recipe, but does contain real molasses, which isn’t a very common ingredient in beer these days. It also has very specific instructions for brewing.
The beer is hitting store shelves now in limited quantities. And, very cool, a portion of the proceeds from it will be donated to spouses and children of soldiers.
