New tequila-flavored beer to hit the US

Anheuser-Busch announced plans to launch a tequila-flavored beer in the U.S. next year to attract younger drinkers who like Mexican beer yet have a taste for the hard stuff.

Called Oculto, the beer will be made with blue agave, which is also used to make tequila, blended with beer aged with wood from tequila barrels, the Wall Street Journal reports.

While there’s no actual tequila in the drink, it will have an alcohol content of 6 percent, more than the 4 percent to 5 percent of typical of American beers.
