Even More from the Brewery


The Budweiser trolleys take you to get your free beers at the end of the tour.  The rest of the tour is a walking tour.


E, this is just for you.  Budweiser just wants to be your friend.


The Budweiser packaging plant.  Beneath this building sits an enormous storage facility that runs all the way down to the banks of the Mississippi.  If the production lines here were to ever shut down, it would only take the Midwest 18 hours to clean out the entire stock in the storage facility.  The Midwest claims the title for highest consumption in the United States.  Tony's response to that?  He said that it's only because the deep South favors hard liquor over beer.



A scene depicting Bevo the Fox is depicted all along the top of the
walls on the first floor.


After taking five million sets of escalators, we finally arrived at the viewing deck to see one of the production lines.  Unfortunately, it was the day
 that this particular line rests.



The tour guides were kind enough to take us out on the floor to see an actual production line working.

Due to the ever-increasing popularity of Budweiser, the beers on this line are immediately loaded on to trucks for distribution.  They aren't even sent down to the storage facility.


Wow.


Bevo the Fox sits atop his perch at the packaging facility.
