What you can get here, now -- and in time for whatever shindig you might be throwing for the Super Bowl! A quick look back: In spring , AB gathered brewmasters at its 12 Budweiser breweries throughout the U.
All styles were supposedly on the table, the only caveat being that the brewers must use the yeast strain descended from Adolphus Busch's original batch. The top three recipes went into sampler packs, which consumers could taste before going online to vote for their favorite. The winning recipe, thunk up by AB-Los Angeles brewmaster Bryan Sullivan, spins caramel malt with four varieties of American-grown hops and is finished on a bed of beechwood chips this sounds impressive but is really no different from regular Budweiser, which is lagered for a few weeks with beechwood boiled in sodium bicarbonate to remove any woodsy flavor.
It's also an amber lager, the same style as Yuengling, and is actually higher in alcohol content -- a hefty 6 percent ABV compared to Yuengling's tawdry 4. This is telling -- some have surmised that Budweiser's forays into high-ABV territory if we can call 6 percent "high," he chuckled, while sipping on his Dogfish are part of an effort to woo younger drinkers increasingly turning to craft beers with similar alcohol content, which, if true, misses the point by a margin so wide it's actually impressive.
But we move on. Black Crown comes to shelves a year after the launch of Bud Light Platinum, which is appropriate because it tastes essentially like Bud Platinum with a stronger malt backbone.
Caramel malt lives up to its name by adding muted caramel-toffee tones to the usual Bud-blend of sourdough bread, alcohol and corn. Champagne-like carbonation adds a little excitement before a smooth, subtly sweet finish.
If the lack of f-bomb-heavy Bud-bashing and general nose-turning in the paragraph above surprises you, don't worry -- it surprised me too. But in the interest of giving credit where it's due, as Budweiser products go, Black Crown is probably the best I've tried. I'm not saying it'll make you forget about your Yuengling-lust, you Pennsylvania vampires, but it's a working substitute. Now stop asking for it.
