While beer and driving don’t go hand in hand, there’s not much that’s more American than new Ford trucks and Budweiser. (Well, maybe apple pie.) If you’re looking for something to do in St. Louis this summer or you’ve got relatives coming in from out of town, think about taking your gang on a tour of the Anheuser Busch factory.
Surprisingly enough, a tour of the Budweiser and Anheuser Busch factories has something for almost anyone -- beer lovers, for sure, but tourists and even history buffs will be fascinated by what the factory has to offer. One of the most interesting things about the company’s history is their activities during Prohibition. To stay solvent -- and not rely on bootlegging -- they made more than 25 products that had nothing to do with alcohol, from ice cream and soda all the way to truck bodies! Find out about all this and more while taking an amble through the Repeal of Prohibition exhibit.
The Budweiser factory is about a lot more than just beer. You can see and learn about historical architecture, meet the famous Budweiser Clydesdales in their signature stables and learn about the advanced, state of the art brewing technologies that make Budweiser known worldwide.
At the end of your tour you’ll end up in the Hospitality Room where you can sample the whole range of Anheuser Busch products and maybe choose what you’ll be having with your steak tonight. Keep in mind that while the tour is open to visitors of all ages, you have to be over 21 to sample and obviously the samplers shouldn’t be the ones driving home.
When you’re done, grab some beer and bring
it back for a barbecue. You can fit a lot of Budweiser in the bed of a new Ford
truck. If you don't have a Ford truck yet, stop by your St. Louis area Ford dealer today!
