if Budweiser's claim that beechwood aging makes their beer better...?

Question

then why now do they claim that fresher beer is better with their "born on date". how can you age it and it be fresh too..hello?

Answer 1

its piss beer anyway you describe it

Answer 2

Here is the deal with Beechwood:
It doesn't impart flavor, but it adds the FEEL of aging to beer. So rather than putting your beer in barrels and letting it age, you add beechwood chips for a short time and it gives the illusion of aging in the mouthfeel of the beer.
This is how Budweiser can be 'fresh' and still 'aged' at the same time.
It's brewing slight-of-hand.

Cheers.

Answer 3

Pat, have you ever considered that the beer is aged prior to the bottling?? The freshness date is the date the product is bottled and has nothing to do with the brewing process.

Answer 4

Beer does not age well AFTER it is bottled, unlike wine that often tastes better years after it is bottled. Actually beer is best when it is drank close to the production (bottling date).

Answer 5

I agree 100 %! I am allergic to beach wood but I can drink Bud light with no problems. If I drink Bud, I am sick in less than one bottle. I can also drink all of the Busch products with no prob. So how can this all be, if it is all aged in beach wood?

Answer 6

Good question! I guess they don't age it that long.

I really enjoy a glass of 40 year old tawny port on a crisp autumn night. Man, I hope fall comes soon! Gin is my summer drink.

Answer 7

Budweiser... who really cares... all it is, is flavored water. If you want to drink a real beer.... go to Europe.

Answer 8

Beer is good at any age!!

Answer 9

**** Budweiser!! OE is Better!!

Answer 10

Shhh... You might rune their marketing strategy.
