Budweiser advertisement, Pennsylvania, October 31, 1930

Before prohibition, barley-malt syrup was not widely popular. It didn’t taste great. However, after the passing of the 18th amendment, the baking agent’s sales soared. It was marketed as an ingredient for use in making breads and desserts, like gingerbread and donuts, usually taking the place of sugar. It was also suggested as a tonic for nursing mothers. 

When mixed with water, hops, yeast, and sugar, the malt syrup became beer, colloquially known as home-brew. Some cities sold so much extract every single week that it could have provided the sweetening “for 800,000 loaves of bread, or more than 16 loaves for every man, woman, and child”. That’s a lot of bread.

Anheuser-Busch advertisement, May 19, 1915

(Tony Faust, the beer’s namesake, was a German-born restaurateur in St Louis in the 1870′s - 1900′s. Tony Faust’s Oyster House and Restaurant, often favorably compared to New York’s Delmonico’s, served all the celebrities who came through the city, from baseball players to actors. He was also a great friend of Beer Baron Adolphus Busch, who was said to eat his lunch at Faust’s restaurant every day. In fact, Busch’s daughter Anna married Faust’s son Edward in a lavish wedding in 1897.)
