\nI stand in front of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour Center in St. Louis, Missouri.<\/em><\/p>\n

This past weekend, while Lynn was speaking at a conference in St. Louis, I was able to spend a few hours sightseeing. Our beer connoisseurs will know that St. Louis is the home to Anheuser-Busch. The beer brewing process is indeed an interesting one and Anheuser-Busch has been doing it for over 100 years. I thought I would share some pictures and experiences of the tour. (All pictures can be clicked to see full-scale.)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nA short introduction to Adolphus Busch begins the Anheuser-Busch story.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nMemorabilia and historical artifacts in the entrance include one of their early red delivery trucks.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nAs you wait for the tour to begin, a large painting of their well-known Clydesdale’s hangs near the start.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nWhile I took the walking tour, there are many different tours available.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThe Clydesdale horses were indeed impressive.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nOne thing I learned, is that only male Clydesdale’s pull their classic carriage.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThe carriages were housed inside.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThese are the carriages that appear in parades and in television commercials.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThe harnesses for the horses, are likewise, extremely large.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThe horse’s name hangs above were they are housed in the stable.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nAs the tour progressed, I captured this bronze statue of the Anheuser-Busch eagle as we went into the brewery.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nRow after row of huge mash tanks, were the beer ferments, took up over three stories of one building.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThe Beachwood aging tanks, where the beer sits on top of beachwood chips to give it added flavor. One tank holds the equivalent of 250,000 individual six-packs. <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nAfter the wood does its thing, the shavings are recycled into mulch.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nA sampling of the many beers brewed at the St. Louis facility. Cheers to the brew-masters there! <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
