Anheuser-Busch Introduces Oculto Tequila-Flavored Beer

From Fox:

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.

It will also have some cool packaging. The name Oculto is etched into a white skull and the logo turns fluorescent and the skull’s empty eyes glow green when the bottle is cold.
