At the end of vacation last week in Merrimack, New Hampshire my wife discovered the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour. We took the 10:35 am tour which winds its way from the hot of the fermenting process, to the cold of the lagering and filtering (beechwood!) process to the hyper-speed of the packaging process. Of course the highlight of the complimentary tour is the Hospitality Room. Here adult visitors are treated to a cold Budweiser and a choice of another A-B InBev product. Barely noon and enjoying pretzels, a Bud and a Stella Artois, now that's vacation.
After the brewery tour we were able to visit the stables of the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales. That's the closest I've ever been to the majestic Clydesdales and it's like standing by Shaq. All you can say is, "wow."
Our tour was culminated by the 35th annual "Show and Shine" car event in the parking lot. Hundreds of mint classic cars were on display. I hope a few make the trek out for the Woodward Dream Cruise in a few weeks. Cold beer and hot cars. The perfect capper to a nice week on the road.
