While both Busch and Budweiser are produced by Anheuser-Busch, they are formulated and positioned as distinct products within the company's portfolio. Budweiser famously incorporates rice as an adjunct grain alongside barley malt and undergoes a signature beechwood aging process, giving it a distinct flavor profile and a standard five percent alcohol by volume in the United States. In contrast, Busch and Busch Light are typically brewed as more budget-friendly, highly accessible everyday lagers that utilize different adjunct grains and feature slightly lower alcohol by volume percentages, targeting a different segment of value-conscious consumers.
