1 each Budweiser (bottle or can)2 cups Ice (optional, for cooler)1 each Lime or lemon wedge (optional, for garnish)

For a chilled serving from an ice bucket (optional)

4 cups Crushed ice or ice cubes1 cups Cold water (to fill bucket if needed)

Glass and serving (optional)

1 each Pint glass (optional)1 each Clean napkin or coaster

Method

For one poured Bud (bottle/can)

Chill or choose chilled bottle/can

If the Budweiser is not already chilled, place the bottle or can in a refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours. For faster chilling, submerge in an ice-water mixture for 10–15 minutes.

Prepare glass (optional)

If using a pint glass, ensure it is clean and cold. Rinse briefly with cold water and drain to help keep the beer colder longer.

Open beer

Hold the bottle or can upright. Use a bottle opener to remove the cap or pull the tab on a can. Keep the container level to minimize agitation and excess foam.

Pour (optional)

Tilt the glass to about 45 degrees and pour the beer gently down the side. When the glass is about three-quarters full, tilt upright and pour into the center to produce a 1/2–1 inch head of foam. If not using a glass, serve directly from the bottle or can.

Garnish and serve

Optionally, run a lime or lemon wedge around the rim or drop the wedge into the glass for a citrus note. Place the napkin or coaster under the glass or bottle and serve immediately.

For a chilled serving from an ice bucket (optional)

Fill a bucket or large container with crushed ice or ice cubes. Add about 1 cup of cold water to help ice conform around the bottle/can and chill faster.

Submerge the Bud bottles or cans in the ice bucket for 10–20 minutes until well chilled. Remove one and dry before opening.
