Bud Light ... like all beers, or any other alcoholic beverage for that matter ... is produced using yeast. The yeast is what converts the carbohydrates in the MASH into alcohol; without yeast you don't get beer, you get grain-ade. (Okay, true confessions: it would be possible to produce alcohol using synthetic enzymes or something like Zymomonas mobilis instead of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but I don't know of any commercial beers actually produced that way ...synthetic enzymes would be expensive, and Z. mobilis is regarded as a contaminant that makes beer taste and smell bad.)

That said: pretty much all commercial beers are filtered to remove sediments, and this generally gets rid of any residual yeast as well. So there's yeast involved in the production, but there should be no (or at least very little) yeast in the finished product.

Home-brewed beer is far more likely to contain leftover yeast than any commercially bottled product.
