Anheuser-Busch Brewery Anheuser-Busch Brewery Review

This is the flagship brewery for Anheuser-Busch and they offer FREE tours year-round.

It is an informative tour starting in the main lobby which has displays regarding the history, creation process and the advertising of the AB brand. You will also find the ubiquitous gift shop here.

You tour through the historic 100-acre plant and follow how AB create their beers. You visit the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale paddock and stable, the beechwood aging cellars, historic Brew House, the Bevo packaging plant, and everyone's favorite stop, the Hospitality Room where you are offered FREE samples of AB's range.

The tour is a gentle downhill stroll covering less than 7 blocks and is suitable for visitors of all ages (over 21 that is).
