Budweiser® is a classic American-style lager brewed by Anheuser-Busch since 1876. Known as “The King of Beers,” Budweiser is beloved for its clean, crisp taste and smooth finish. It’s brewed using barley malt, rice, hops, and beechwood aging, giving it a distinctive, mildly bitter flavor that pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods.
At Texas Roadhouse, Budweiser is a fan-favorite beer for pairing with bold dishes like steaks, ribs, and fried appetizers. Its carbonation and light bitterness cut through the richness of hearty Southern-style fare, making it the perfect companion for a classic roadhouse meal.
