For the grilling season, Anheuser-Busch is introducing a new line of Budweiser sauces, including a baste, two barbecue sauces, and a wing sauce. Vita Food Products will create and distribute Budweiser-branded sauces this summer.

"When we think about summer, we think about getting together with friends, grilling, and enjoying ice cold Budweiser," said Randall Blackford of Anheuser-Busch. "Our line of Budweiser-branded sauces provides another way for home cooks and grillers to add flavor to their dishes."

The Budweiser sauce recipes were created by a team of chefs led by Executive Chef Brent Wertz at Anheuser-Busch's Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia, in conjunction with Anheuser-Busch brewmasters.

Recognized for his outstanding culinary expertise, Chef Wertz and his team created the new line in the tradition of Budweiser, using only the finest ingredients to craft special sauces resulting in an exceptional taste experience that will pair perfectly with America's favorite beverage of moderation, beer. In fact, Budweiser is a key ingredient in the creation of these savory sauces.

The Budweiser sauces will be available at grocery, gourmet, and convenience stores and in casual dining chains.

"Vita is pleased to partner with Anheuser-Busch to further the brand exposure of Budweiser within the food industry and provide sauces with exceptional tastes similar to that of Budweiser beer," said Stephen D. Rubin of Vita Food Products.
