Mystery Revealed: Anheuser-Busch Launching Project 12 Sampler

Well this solves the mystery of these Anheuser-Busch Brewmaster’s Small Batch Series beers. They will find their way into Project 12 Sampler Packs. Twelve Anheuser-Busch brewmasters at the 12 different locations across the United States created 12 unique lagers with Budweiser’s house yeast. The 12 beers were narrowed in house to 6.   Consumers will taste and help narrow the six down to three beers this summer.  You’ll see the remaining three in the Project 12 limited edition sampler pack this fall.

Here’s your six:


Budweiser Small Batch 91406 (Los Angeles):  A deep-amber lager with 6 percent ABV that uses four different types of hops. The beer is brewed by brewmaster Bryan Sullivan in Los Angeles and was developed in collaboration with Scott Ungermann in Fairfield and Dave Cohen in Houston.


Budweiser Small Batch 63118 (St. Louis):  A deep-gold 5 percent ABV American lager that uses the same types of hops (Hallertau and Tettnang) commonly used at the St. Louis brewery during  the 19th century.  The beer is brewed in St. Louis by brewmaster Jim Bicklein and was developed in collaboration with Katie Rippel from Fort Collins.

Budweiser Small Batch 43229 (Ohio): A light-amber lager using eight different types of hops with 6 percent ABV.  The beer is brewed in Columbus, Ohio, and was the brainchild of the brewery’s general manager, Kevin Lee and developed with assistant brewmasters Travis Burge and Tyler Hunter.

  1. Who would ever want a variety pack of 6 shitty macro lagers?  It’s cool that they’re trying but holy shit will this ever fail to reach the real beer loving audience.
