New-ish Budweiser 1933 Repeal Reserve Amber Lager

[Bravo8Dex]

Anybody tried it? Saw it at Circle-K gas station. It's kinda pricey for a Bud product, around $8.99. I tried it and liked it. It's not bad. Good Amber Lager, supposedly what their beer used to be before prohibition. It has some dark malty notes and just a smidgen of hops. The beer is 6.1% alc by volume too, so it has a bit more of a kick to it.

I tried some.

As I recall it was billed as a special recipe made for friends of Busch to celebrate the repeal of prohibition but "tweaked for the modern age". Whatever the ad people came up with.

I didn't care for it. IMO it was a try at making a beer that resembled Sam Adams.

Glad you liked it, I was intrigued by the ad and the ad inspired news stories on it in the early fall. I actually went to different stores to find it. Once I did a 6 pack was enough for me.

Yeah it wasn't anything mind blowing, but at least not more of the same kind of typical swill like Bud, Bud Light, Bud Platinum etc. It has some character for a change. Which sadly means it will probably be a sales failure - lol.
