While on leave in St. Louis, MO I made a trip to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, the home to Budweiser and a large family of many other beers you might be surprised by. While the brewery has a free tour(info), I am not the average penny-pincher, I heard of their $10 Day Fresh tour that comes with 3 beer samples plus a free fresh beer canned that day and I knew that was the tour for me.
Enjoy part of my tour experience below:
My Personal Experience: At the ticket counter I asked if they offered a military discount and at that point it was mentioned that despite not offering one for the tour they did however offer a 10% discount in the gift shop. I was then given one of the Budweiser challenge coins, they have two distinct coins that go for $9.95 in the gift shop.
The tour itself took about 90 minutes to complete. The tour took a route that started with the famous Clydesdale's and their stables, then forged on to different buildings that put you in the midst of their brewing to bottling process. They encourage photo taking due to the plethora of astounding architecture and internal decor. You will be amazed by not just the beauty of the facility, but also by the enormity of their facilities. At one point it felt as though we took ten escalators to reach the top floor of the bottling facility. This tour was by far the best brewery tour I have taken so far. If you are in St. Louis make it a point to check out. Then come back to my blog and see what other attractions you can take advantage of.
