Beer lovers, you can now taste George Washington’s beer recipe!

Budweiser just announced their newest beer!  It’s called Freedom Reserve Red Lager.  And it’s based on a beer recipe by THE George Washington.

Washington wrote the recipe in his military journal in 1757, with the title,”To Make Small Beer.”

It’s not super complicated, but it does include real molasses, which isn’t a common beer ingredient these days.  It has very specific instructions for how long to brew it, heat it, and cool it.  It’s in stores right now, and it’ll be on sale through the end of September.
