While the chains have already released boozy creations such as the Midnight Moonshine Burger and the Jim Beam Bourbon Burger, the latest dish plays on the flavor of one of America's favorite beer brands. The Budweiser Brew House Bacon Cheeseburger features an all-beef patty topped with Budweiser Beer Cheese, applewood smoked bacon, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato and Swiss cheese. The star of the dish is the Budweiser Beer Cheese, which is meant to mimic the taste of the iconic beer brand. The cheese will also be used to make Budweiser Beer Cheese Bacon Fries, which serve as the perfect side dish for the new burger. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Beer-infused Food:** Explore the trend of incorporating beer into various food items to create unique flavors and experiences. - **Beverage Brand Collaborations:** Discover the trend of food chains partnering with popular beverage brands to create innovative menu items. - **Gourmet Fast Food:** Embrace the trend of elevating fast food by incorporating high-quality ingredients and unique flavor combinations. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for breweries and food chains to collaborate and create new food and beverage offerings with exciting flavor profiles. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can capitalize on the trend of gourmet fast food by incorporating beer-infused items into their menus, attracting adventurous food lovers. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Hotels and resorts can offer beer-infused food as a unique culinary experience, attracting beer enthusiasts and food connoisseurs alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaboration Beer-Made Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/budweiser-beer-battered-cheddar-cheese-curds.md) - [Branded BBQ Sauce Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-a1-double-cheeseburger.md) - [Savory Beer Cheese Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kings-hawaiian-pretzel-pub-burger.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Burger Combos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-combos.md) - [Blue Cheese-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-blue-cheese-burger.md) - [Fast-Food-Inspired Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-biscuit-ale.md) - [Cheesy Midwestern-Style Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wisconsin-big-cheese-pub-burger.md) - [Beer Cheese-Coated Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-brewhouse-mother-cruncher-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Bold Beer-Flavored Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-flavored-cheese.md)
