The Budweiser name will soon be on a line of non-alcoholic barbecue sauces that rolls out in July, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Anheuser-Busch Cos. hopes the sauces will strengthen the link between Budweiser and a favorite American cooking style, while heightening brand loyalty during the key beer-selling season.
The recipes were cooked up by brewer’s culinary team at the upscale Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va. Budweiser is a key ingredient in the sauces, but the production process eliminates the alcohol.
A-B believes the brewing industry hasn’t done enough to highlight how well beer goes with certain foods, particularly spicy ones. In contrast, the wine industry has done a good job of pairing wine with food.
