Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same clean and light character as Bud Light. Anheuser-Busch's national light lager, introduced 1982 and America's top seller since 2001. Barley malt, rice adjunct, and a blend of premium aroma hops both American-grown and imported. 4.2% ABV, 10 IBU. Cleaner and lighter than Budweiser by design — the reference-point American light lager, the beer of stadiums and coolers. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
