George Washington had his own recipe for beer. It was inscribed in his personal military journal from 1757, during the French and Indian War. That recipe served as inspiration for Budweiser's newest release, Budweiser Freedom Reserve Red Lager. Freedom Reserve is brewed by veterans with a portion of the proceeds going to Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to military families.Washington's original recipe was for "small beer," or beer with low alcohol content. It called for bran hops and a whole lot of molasses, and took very little time to brew. Budweiser's take uses toasted barley grains, for a "rich caramel malt taste" featuring just hints of hops and molasses. It has 5.4% ABV, likely making it stronger that Washington's version, and is available now through September. $5 off with code "Freedom," drizly.comBud's Freedom Reserve joins the brewery's recent lineup of extremely patriotic beers, such as the famed "America" beer of 2016. Just last month, Budweiser announced it was releasing a Kentucky bourbon barrel-aged brew with Jim Beam this fall. It's not like most of us have to lead a country or cross a frozen river with an army anytime soon, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a good brew.
