I haven't tried this but it just hit the seasonal market and is a bear to find. It was in my area Friday night and by Saturday morning the tap was dry, so get it where you can. Arguably the best Stout ever.

Budweiser releases new beer based on George Washington's handwritten recipe

A beer once called “America,” just got a lot more patriotic.

Budweiser has revealed its newest addition to the Reserve Collection – a Freedom Reserve Red Lager inspired by a recipe handwritten by first president George Washington.

ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEBUTS SUMMERY NEW BUD LIGHT ORANGE

According to the press release, George Washington hand-penned the recipe “To Make Small Beer” in his personal military journal, dating back to 1757.

“Take a large Sifter full of Bran Hops to your Taste — Boil these 3 hours,” Washington wrote in his journal. “Then strain out 30 Gall. into a Cooler put in 3 Gallons Molasses while the Beer is scalding hot or rather drain the molasses into the Cooler. Strain the Beer on it while boiling hot let this stand til it is little more than Blood warm. Then put in a quart of Yeast if the weather is very cold cover it over with a Blanket. Let it work in the Cooler 24 hours then put it into the Cask. leave the Bung open til it is almost done working — Bottle it that day Week it was Brewed,” the recipe reads, according to the New York Public Library where George Washington’s papers are archived.

The limited-edition beer will be brewed by Budweiser’s own veterans, whose signatures will be displayed prominently on each of the vintage stubby bottles and one-pint cans. A portion of the proceeds will go toward Folds of Honor, a nonprofit providing educational scholarships to military families.

Alot of bands/celebrities try to make their own beer. Most suck...like Iron maiden's beer.

Megadeth has done the best job of the ones I've tried. Not stellar but good and hey...it's a Belgian.

This was fantastic. Right up there with the best Scottish Ale (Wee Heavy) I've had. Drank this on tap at an ale house in Central Virginia.

Mr Animal is drinking. Tumwater Cold Press Coffee Stout. Says it's good. He's looking forward to Aldis bringing back the Tumwater Porter. I bought him a 6 pack for Christmas last year as a filler gift and he ended up really liking it.

Those coffee stouts are....er....Stout! My wife likes Stouts. I enjoy them but they are a meal.

Yeah, I like the taste but I can only take the mandatory two sips (he makes me take two sips of everything - the first one is to wash the Buttweiser out of my mouth and the second is to taste the beer). They are very filling. That's probably why his belly looks like he's pregnant.
 
Not really much of a beer drinker. Last time I touched alcohol was 3 years ago. I don't even drink during the holidays when I have family outings.
