Beer in the Summer

It’s the Fourth of July weekend, so a beer is almost required.  We visited the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Jacksonville Florida.  No real horses like at the St. Louis brewery we visited a few years ago, but they had Larry.

 

 

The brewery has been producing beer since 1969 and make over 9 million barrels every year.  The tour is good.  We started with a sample of a new Shock Top version. 

 

The tour took us past humongous tanks and bottling lines (they were cleaning lines and were down when we visited). 

 

Of course the best is the beer in the hospitality room at the end.  Very refreshing on a hot summer day.  John and I enjoyed seeing the discussion of the can production since we both worked in the can industry at one time.
