[Michelob] takes its name from a speciality beer developed by Adolphus Busch in 1896 as a “draught beer for connoisseurs”. The early 21st century saw in the U.S. a demand for diet beer similar to that of the early 1970s, and in 2002 the Michelob line responded with the introduction of Michelob Ultra, advertised as being low in carbohydrates. Later Michelob Ultra Amber, a darker, more flavorful beer, was added to this sub-line.
