#4- St. Louis, MO/Budweiser Brewery-June 26,2012
We promised you a tour of the Budweiser
Brewery which began in St. Louis, and today remains a vibrant and fully
functioning Brewery, supplying millions of happy customers with their favorite
brew each year. The original buildings and architecture have been well
preserved, and still provide thousands of visitors each year with an
outstanding tour through the brewing process, and a final treat at tour's end
with two complementary beers of their choice in the Hospitality Center. (I
chose the Rasberry beer-YUM!!!)
To help the Company survive through the
Prohibition years, they produced a variety of products- campers,
"Bevo" Soft drink (Bevo the Fox), and assorted snacks. None of these
products remained in production for very long, but the Company managed to
survive-German "sticktutiveness"!
Of course, as the Clydesdale horses are the
Budweiser trademark,
We
toured the magnificent stables where they are housed. Note the absolutely
beautiful Tack Room containing saddles polished to perfection-(for you, Susan).
We saw two of those awesome horses in their stable, BUT! For me, the most
important member of the team was NOT there!!! You guessed it! NO
DALMATIONS!!!! Supposedly, some puppies
are coming!!! I will come back!
Also, housed within the same complex are
original wagons and cars used by the Busch family, including horse drawn beer wagons and a fire truck.
Best of all, the Brewery tour is FREE!!!!
Most of the Clydesdales are either kept at
Grant's Farm, and a farm in Booneville, MO not far from here. Could the
Dalmations be there?
Our
next Blog will take you on a Tour of Grant's Farm, where we had a delightful
tour through a wildlife park, petting zoo area, and Beer Garden, of course.
They all go together, don't they?
Take good care, and keep cool!
