About

Bud Light is the best-selling beer brand in the United States and one of the most recognized consumer brands globally, manufactured by Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev). Launched in 1982 as a lighter version of Budweiser, Bud Light grew to dominate the American light beer category through iconic advertising campaigns (the "Real Men of Genius" radio spots, Spuds MacKenzie, the Bud Light Institute) and consistent positioning as an approachable, sessionable beer for sports and social occasions.

About

Budweiser is one of the world's most iconic beer brands, known as the "King of Beers," manufactured by Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev). Founded in 1876 by Adolphus Busch in St. Louis, Missouri, Budweiser became the quintessential American lager through early adoption of pasteurization and refrigerated railcar distribution, combined with legendary advertising including the Budweiser Clydesdales, "Bud-weis-er" frogs, and "Wassup" campaigns. AB InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch in 2008 for $52 billion.
