Budweiser really is the king of beers

There are many great beers around the world. I love trying them and have even had passing favorites over the years. Sometimes I get into an import phase in my life where I just buy this one. But Budweiser always has to be at the top of the list, and not just because it's a great tasting beer.

It is not a known fact that Budweiser was the beer the President drank after the ban was lifted in 1933. President Franklin Roosevelt is trademarked because on the day he signed it, he said, "I think this would be a good time for a beer." the Cullen-Harrison Act, which legalizes the sale of beer in the United States. The next day, Anheuser-Busch sent beers to the President. They were supplied by the infamous Clydesdales themselves, the trademark horses of Anheuser-Busch and their most famous Budweiser beer.

When Adolphus Busch, the founding father of Anheuser-Busch, introduced German lager to American beer lovers, he forever changed the way Americans thought about beer. Budweiser was originally called Budweiser Lager Beer because it captured an interesting bohemian lager style. In 1901, Budweiser sold its millionth cask.

Budweiser was the first beer to actually put labels on its bottles. First they were poured into the glass itself. As the rest of the beer world caught up with them, paper labels worked just fine and the Budweiser logo has remained virtually the same since its inception in 1876.

Budweiser brands have become American institutions. Starting with the pocket knife that Adolphus Busch designed. It became a collector's item and there are still some out there if you look hard enough to find one for yourself. You just have to be prepared to dip into your savings and have something of your own.

The eagle itself has not disappeared since it first appeared on a Budweiser bottle. It hasn't even really changed. The artwork has become increasingly sophisticated over the years. But bottles and posters from earlier days also serve as great collectibles for beer lovers if you fail to find the perfect gift.

Advertising has always felt very American, although Budweiser is enjoyed around the world. Advertising has always tapped into the psyche of beer lovers, identifying itself over time and becoming a staple of every generation. The Bud Bowl was prominent in the late 1980. Budweiser Frogs came out in the mid 90's. And "Whassup" was popular in the late 1990s. But that's just one example of how Budweiser has assimilated into our culture in recent years. There have been many examples of how Budweiser has appealed to the American beer lover since it was first brewed.

The Clydesdales themselves are an American staple. The Clydesdale Budweiser ad is running during the holiday season and suddenly it feels like the holiday season has arrived for us. But the most moving Clydesdale commercial aired during the 2002 Superbowl, in which the beautiful horses bowed to what appeared to be ground zero where the World Trade Center once stood. It only aired once and brought tears to my eyes.

It's just a beer, you might say. But it's a business, it's a family, and it's a big part of American culture. It was a shining star in every single generation. There is no other beer and no company that can claim that.
