Development of Bohemian-Style Lager
- When
- 1876
- Where
- St. Louis, Missouri
Adolphus Busch and Carl Conrad developed a Bohemian-style lager in St. Louis, inspired by European brewing traditions and the original Budweiser beer.
Inspired by a trip to Bohemia, Busch and Conrad created a new pale lager in 1876. They used the name Budweiser, which was already well-known, for their product, even though it had no connection to the city of Budweis. This beer was produced in their brewery in St. Louis, Missouri.
