St. Louis Lager Returns

Anheuser-Busch’s original flagship beer is available again as a draft-only for a limited-time to the St. Louis community through the holidays. 

The Lager beer first launched in the 1860s. Those who want a taste can find the draft beer sold at the Anheuser-Busch Biergarten and select local bars including Ray's sporthouse, 1860 Saloon, Duke's, McGurk's,  Tuckers, Big Daddy's and Cat's Meow. The Enterprise Center, Ballsports Live, and Sports and Social also will serve the St. Louis Lager.

Anheuser-Busch makes Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser, and Bud Light.

For every draft beer sold between Nov. 11 and Dec. 3, one dollar will be donated by Anheuser-Busch to the St. Louis Area Foodbank for their Holiday Meal Program (up to $20,000).

The Budweiser Clydesdales will parade through the Soulard neighborhood from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Dec 3, also known as “Giving Tuesday.” While traveling through Soulard, they’ll make special deliveries of limited-edition Budweiser Clydesdale holiday packaging then present the St. Louis Area Foodbank.

And don't forget about the 39th year of the Brewery Lights even, which runs from Nov. 22 through Dec. 30 and features new experiences hoping to delight visitors. The Lager will be available during the Bewery Lights as well.
