Budweiser is a 5.0% ABV American lager first introduced in 1876 in St. Louis and now one of AB InBev’s global flagship brands. It’s a pale, crisp “American-style” lager brewed to be clean and highly consistent at scale.

Anheuser-Busch lists Budweiser’s recipe as barley malt, rice, water, and hops. The brand also emphasizes “beechwood aging,” a lagering step where sanitized beechwood chips are added to give yeast more surface area; the goal is a cleaner finish rather than wood flavor.

Budweiser for the U.S. market is produced across 12 Anheuser-Busch breweries: St. Louis, MO; Baldwinsville, NY; Cartersville, GA; Columbus, OH; Fairfield, CA; Fort Collins, CO; Houston, TX; Jacksonville, FL; Los Angeles, CA; Merrimack, NH; Newark, NJ; and Williamsburg, VA.

The brand’s St. Louis brewery has been the home base since the 19th century (today a National Historic Landmark), and Budweiser’s long-running “King of Beers” identity is tied to nationwide distribution innovations dating back to the late 1800s. AB continues to market Budweiser as a medium-bodied, crisp lager “brewed with barley malt, fresh rice, and aromatic hops.”

Launched in 1903, Miller High Life is Miller Brewing Company’s longest-running beer and the origin of the “Champagne of Beers” tagline. The brand is known for its clear, Champagne-shaped bottle, fine carbonation, and the long-lived “Girl in the Moon” mascot (first trademarked in 1907). Today it sits in Molson Coors’ U.S. portfolio as a classic American lager.

Molson Coors lists High Life’s composition as water, barley malt, corn syrup (maltose), yeast, and hop extract. The current brand page shows ABV 4.6%, IBU 7, and 141 calories per 12 oz serving. (In this context the corn syrup is a fermentable brewing adjunct rather than a sweetener.)

High Life’s home is Miller Valley in Milwaukee, where Miller was founded and where the public brewery tour operates. U.S. production for Molson Coors beers is supported by a network of large breweries; company location pages highlight facilities such as Milwaukee, WI, Fort Worth, TX, and Albany, GA among others. In practice, widely distributed brands like High Life are brewed at multiple sites for logistics, with Milwaukee as the flagship.

High Life’s bottle and tagline deliberately echo Champagne aesthetics; early bottles had sloped shoulders and foil, and the brand has periodically leaned into that heritage (e.g., limited 750 mL “Champagne” bottles for the holidays). The longevity of the “Girl in the Moon” icon and the Champagne motif continue to anchor the brand’s identity.
