ST. LOUIS, MO – What better way to complement a summer cookout than pairing great food with a cold beer?
In time for the summer grilling season, Anheuser-Busch and Vita Food Products Inc. have teamed to bring four new Budweiser barbeque sauces to store shelves, notes a press release.
“When we think about summer, we think about getting together with friends, grilling and enjoying ice cold Budweiser,” said Randall Blackford, director of Budweiser marketing at Anheuser-Busch. “There are few things as distinctly American as Budweiser and barbecuing, and our line of Budweiser-branded sauces provides another way for home cooks and grillers to add flavor to their dishes.”
Recipes for the Budweiser sauces were created by a team of chefs led by Certified Executive Chef Brent Wertz at Anheuser-Busch's Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va., in conjunction with Anheuser-Busch brewmasters. Chef Wertz and his team created the new line of sauces featuring Budweiser beer as a key ingredient.
Vita Food Products will produce and distribute the Budweiser-branded sauces in time to celebrate Independence Day and has confirmed the alcohol content after production meets all government requirements to be classified as a non-beverage food product.
The Budweiser sauces will be available at grocery, gourmet and convenience stores and in casual dining chains.
