You Probably Forgot Budweiser Once Made A Discontinued Beer

Some Anheuser-Busch brands have been successful and enduring while others have been shorter-lived. Case in point: Bud Dry, the Budweiser offshoot that lasted from 1989 until 2010.

Bud Dry was a pale lager brewed with Anheuser-Busch's exclusive DryBrew method, resulting in a crisp, less sweet flavor without an overwhelming aftertaste.

Many consumers found Bud Dry unnecessary, but dry beer was flooding the market in the U.S. and other countries, pushing Anheuser-Busch to jump on the bandwagon.

Bud Dry was created to draw new beer drinkers to the market, but with the introduction of Bud Ice in 1994, Bud Dry’s popularity waned. It was finally discontinued in 2010.
