Anheuser-Busch looks to test a new filtered draft brand

Anheuser-Busch, facing what could be another tough summer beer-selling season, may test a cold-filtered draft beer under the Bud name before the end of the year.

The product could appear in selected markets as early as this fall, according to one brewing industry source, although where and when could not be confirmed. If a draft brand does make it to the market, it would be the fourth product in the Bud family of beers, and signal that A-B's three-year-old Bud Dry brand hasn't reached the expected potential.
