Pale lager producer Budweiser is set to extend its lineup of patriotic packaging this summer with the introduction of military-inspired aluminium bottles and cans dedicated to the US Armed Forces.

Partnering with Folds of Honor for its sixth consecutive year, Budweiser will raise funds through this initiative to provide educational scholarships to families of martyred and disabled soldiers.

Budweiser expects to raise nearly $1m through the sale of these customised bottles.

"The special Budweiser America packaging offers yet another way we can pay tribute to our troops and their families."

A portion of the proceeds gained from sales between 22 and 29 May (Memorial Day) will be donated to Folds of Honor.

The limited-edition bottles feature a camouflage fatigue with aluminium labels, a letter of gratitude in place of the Budweiser credo, and lyrics from patriotic songs 'The Star Spangled Banner', and 'E Pluribus Unum'.

The toast printed at the bottles' base acknowledges all veterans and the military service of Anheuser-Busch's own veteran workforce.

The limited edition bottles will be available until 4 July.
