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.

budding. In budding, a small "bud" forms on the parent yeast cell and eventually detaches to become a new yeast cell.
To multiply yeast, dissolve it in warm water along with sugar and let it sit for several minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active and multiplying. You can then use this mixture as a starter for your bread or other baked goods.
Bud Light is made through a brewing process that involves malting barley, mashing it with hot water to extract sugars, boiling the mixture with hops to add bitterness and aroma, fermenting the liquid with yeast to produce alcohol, and finally conditioning and packaging the beer. The specific recipe and techniques used by Anheuser-Busch InBev to make Bud Light are proprietary and closely guarded secrets.
Yes, yeast cells reproduce through budding, a form of asexual reproduction. While offspring will be genetically similar to the parent cell, mutations can occur during the process leading to genetic differences.
Yeast reproduces asexually through a process called budding, where a smaller cell (bud) forms on the parent cell. This bud continues to grow until it separates from the parent cell, becoming a new individual yeast cell.
