I really loved my visit to Anheuser-Busch a couple weeks ago!!! I drove myself to their facility and there was plenty of free parking. I checked in for my tours at the front desk and the gentleman who greeted me was super informative and friendly. I took the Beer Master Tour with Amy (I am pretty sure that was her name!). The tour was EXCELLENT and we got to see all of the behind the scenes areas of the brewery and try Budweiser straight from the finishing tanks. Based on how great the tour was, I was surprised to hear the guide had only worked there for a couple of months. Shortly after my first tour ended I took the Clydesdale tour. The guide, although I forgot his name, was amazing, hilarious and a smart ass (in a GOOD way!) He was an older gentleman who utilized a walker. It was nice to get up close and have the opportunity to pet the Clydesdales and take some photos. On each tour you receive a couple of complimentary beers and by the end of my stay I had plenty! The gift shop had so many selections from all of their different products. Their facility is massive and the main building is super cool with many different stations to hang out or take photos. They do serve food and I got a chicken wrap with potato salad and coleslaw. The wrap was good but their sides definitely need some work. They have water stations around so you can help yourself to tap or sparkling water. I highly recommend. read more

Great visit to the Anheuser Busch site. After a great lunch at Blues City Deli, we walked the area and finished at the Biergarten. The gentlemen behind the bar were extremely friendly. The Biergarten was huge and can obviously accommodate several guests. The beer was good, (even though we did not have Bud) We opted to not do the tour but enjoyed the surroundings. read more

We did the Day Fresh tour which was a fun experience. Originally wanted to do the finisher tour but the don't offer it on the weekdays so we went with the Day Fresh and enjoyed it. We got to walk around the brewery and see all the basics, including a visit to the Clydesdale's stables. You get a half pour of Bud Light or Budweiser in the brew house, get to take home a "day fresh" beer meaning they bottled it that day, and then end your tour with a cold beer of choice. Our tour guide was informative and a good sport with the jokes and questions the group had. read more

A good place for food or fellowship next to the Budweiser Visitor's center. This is a large open air covered patio next to the visitors center. It is the place where the tours for the Brewery Tour and Clydesdale VIP experience discharge into on the completion of the tours. They have doors leading to the visitor center with the gift shop, information desk, restrooms and picture spots. It has lots of seating choices with a lot of options. It is outside with large screen Televisions for current events or sports. There is a bar and table service, sort of. There is a QR code at the table that takes you to their menu. When we visited this option was not working so the server took our order. They offer German favorites like bratwurst, sausages, giant pretzels, and other brewery-style foods, along with hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, fries, and desserts. There is also a large selection of Anheuser-Busch beers, of course, and other drinks. I tried their toasted raviolis, and hamburger. The raviolis were not my thing but the burger was very good. It is very casual and has no air conditioning but still was a pleasant place to relax after the tours we took. Entrees ran between $9 and $15. Whether you are looking for a quick snack or a full meal before or after your brewery tour, this is a convenient place to stop without leaving the property. read more

I took the Day Fresh tour earlier this week which is their most popular tour. It lasted 75 minutes and cost me about $17. Drive into the campus and follow the Tour signs which take you to the Visitor Center with plenty of free parking in the lot. Walking inside is a gift shop and large lobby area where you can buy tickets or check in before your tour starts if you bought them online. Our tour guide was Larry and my group of about 14 people wandered in and out of several buildings on the campus while Larry provided a lot of interesting and historical information about Anheuser-Busch and St. Louis. We went into cold rooms where the different beers are kept in very large metal tanks along with warm rooms where the cooking process takes place. We also went to a viewing area above the bottling operation which was fascinating to watch the assembly of bottles being washed, inspected, filled, labeled and then packaged. They only brew beer when they have an order from the wholesaler ensuring freshness at its highest level. The architecture of several of the older building is quite interesting. We also stopped in the stable area where The Clydesdale's are kept seeing several of them in their stalls and one out on display. We sampled beer twice during the tour. One time in the middle of the tour and again at the end. They also gave each adult a bottle of beer to take away with them. Also at the end is a large tent area that serves food and beer and allows for relaxation. I enjoyed the tour and thought it was well worth the cost. read more

Even though I'm not a beer drinker, I really enjoyed the Day Fresh tour. The architecture, art pieces and history were interesting. The grounds are beautiful. It was a very warm day and there was some outdoor walking from building to building, not strenuous by any means. In the bottling building, at least one escalator was not working so a few flights of stairs were climbed, but I understand there was an elevator available for those who required it. That building was also quite warm, making it a little more challenging. We sampled several brews and were each given a freshly-bottled Budweiser Select to take home. We popped one open after chilling to a refreshing temperature and gave it a try. Again, I am not a fan of beer, but this nice freshly bottled brew tasted pretty much like nothing. Maybe not a bad thing for me. Overall, the tour was a great experience and I recommend everyone give it a chance. There is much more to gain than beer tasting. Our guide was also excellent, I don't remember his name. I was a little disappointed that we did not get a closer up view of the Clydesdales. Apparently, they have a separate tour for that. read more

While traveling to Arkansas, we stopped in St. Louis for the night. After doing a tour of the Gateway arch we were left with a bit of time on our hands and decided to tour the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. We did both the dayfresh tour and the clydesdale meet & greet. We had several guides. One for the Clydesdales tour and two for the day-fresh tour. They were all very informative & knowledgeable about the history of the company, the brewing process, and the horses! The grounds are amazingly well kept & manicured! The staff seem to take great pride in what they do. Bathrooms were spotless. Dining areas well stocked with no dirty tables lingering. The horse stalls were clean & neatly swept. The trolly looked to have been recently washed and wiped down. Even the picnic area in the biergarten was clean and debris-free. I don't think I saw even one over-flowing trashcan. The tours were both about an hour long. Being able to pet one of the Clydesdales was awesome. They are quite amazing creatures. Make sure to check out the horseshoe comparison in the entrance to their stalls!!!! Personally, I 'm not much of a beer drinker but our guides handed out beer numerous times throughout the tour. I found a new one that I hadn't ever heard of, Kona Big Wave. It's very tasty buy itself, but mixing it with their mango beer makes it more than amazing!!! They are very genorous on their pours!!! The tour is well worth the cost. You get your money's worth back in beer! read more

Such a cool experience, even if you're from the STL area! Loved learning the deep history about Anheuser-Busch and seeing the bottling, Clydesdales, and beer making in action. We did the Day Fresh tour and I think it was the perfect amount of information, beer sampling, and touring of facilities. The quality of the tour and experience seems completely dependent on who you get as your tour guide. I think there was some room for improvement on our tour, but we overall had a really nice time. read more

Very nice facility with cute photo ops and various seating areas. The Day Fresh Tour was a great way to spend the afternoon - some history, learning about the brewing process, and free beer!

We did the Beermaster tour as a gift from our kids, and I would give it 10 stars if I could. Mark, our tour guide, was outfreakingstanding. He was an excellent story teller, and truly loved what he was doing. We got to see all kinds of exclusive areas (look up beermaster tour on the website), which was so fun. We tasted beer before the beechwood aging process and then straight out of the finishing tanks. So fun! It was nice to get headphones so we could hear the tour guide over other tours and in the production areas (only the beermaster tour gets this). It was a full 2+ hours. This tour is a little pricey, but well worth it. We're locals who live about a mile from the brewery and had a blast. If you're visiting St. Louis, this is a must-do. read more

I had no idea I was going to love this place as much as I did! We had a whirlwind trip to St. Louis area for work and on a whim we were like "Let's do this tour thing" and we rolled up (parking was awesome and the place is so easy to find) and paid for our tour. We had to get a locker for our bags we didn't want to leave in the car, but the front desk person gave us the change so the lockers were free - so super awesome. We had 15 minutes to wait so we ducked into the gift shop. Fresh off the airplane and out of the airport, we started to come alive again looking at all the shiny beer trinkets. It was time for our tour. I was able to read view the video that was playing in the waiting area and it was really informative and pretty cool! We met at the benches and the tour guide came and gave us the intro. At this point I was kind of getting excited... to learn... about beer. I was not very excited about the walking part of it after driving up and seeing how big the campus really was! IT'S HUGE! Starting out the door it was a crisp but still slightly warm spring afternoon. The walking was not that bad, I was just tired and a little hangry to be honest. The tour was really fun and informative. Along the way we had a beer tasting, then ended with a special bottle of beer to take with us and a super cute trolly ride back to the biergarten. We got some food (toasted raviolis, pretzels, and a salad for balance) and another beer here and started our way to where we were going to work for the next day. This was a great start to our trip even if it was just for work. Would recommend! read more

Review Visit: December 21st, 2013 Offering up free tours of their Brewery, Anheuser-Busch gives you an inside glimpse at the beer-making process to the tasty beverages they provide across the world. Each time I have gone to this Brewery, it is always busy and bustling with people. People love beer! Or tours. Or the free beer at the end of the tour! While you can walk in and look around the Gift Shop and the displays they have out, the real fun is taking the tour. I think the tour clocked in around 45-60 minutes? But it goes by fairly quick as the entire brewery complex is massive and you are always moving and seeing new things. The tanks alone where they store beer are worth going to see. They are MASSIVE. At the end of each tour, they give you a ticket or two to redeem something at the bar. The bars itself offer a large quantity of beers to choose from. Some I didn't even know Anheuser-Busch/InBev produced. I discovered Kirin Ichiban was pretty good! So on top of the free tours and exhibits, they also offer a Beer class. It was around $15 to take. They go into more depth of the beer making process, how to serve/store beer, differences in styles and various odds and ends. At the end of it, you get a nice Honorary Beermaster Certificate. Mine is framed and just waiting to be put up for display. Overall, a cool experience that any beer lover should check out. Even if you are not a Budweiser fan. read more

My wife was very excited about the Clydesdale tour. It was very informative. Steve or guide did an excellent job. We didn't realize how many samples there would be or we would have planned better. It's a beautiful stable. Lucky horses! Definitely worth a stop. read more

We had about 30 minutes to spare before our Day Fresh Tour started so we decided to grab a beer & a quick snack in the Biergarten. It happened to be a very cold day weather-wise. I was a little nervous the Biergarten would be cold because it sits outside nestled between two buildings but it was PERFECT. They have space heaters everywhere & it feels amazing. Our bartender was super nice & let us try some samples before making our final decision. She even helped us with deciding on a quick bite of food. I definitely recommend checking this place out. It's warm & the food great! Beer is also YUM. read more

Had such a nice time tonight for the Brewery Lights. We've been here a number of times throughout the years whenever we have out of town guests in town. This time we just went with our grown kids who are home from College and had a great time. The $12 ticket gets you a free beer at the entrance. Everything is so nicely decorated, there is hot chocolate, S'Mores, other festive drinks like peppermint White Russian on the rocks or mixed in with your hot chocolate, a parade at 7:30 most nights, a small museum, you can stand in line for the Clydesdales but you also get to see some of them during the parade. All in all we had a great night! read more

We live in the area and I always try to bring out of state friends here. My best friend was visiting from California - she LOVED it. As always, the place is beautiful. The grounds are great, loved our samples. The Clydesdales and Dalmatians were there which was SO cool to see. We loved the tour and the guide, and the beer at the end was perfect. I'll always recommend it for anyone!!! read more

This is a cool stop for anyone who is interested in the history of America's most famous brewers. It was pretty amazing to see how humble Bud spends its first days surrounded by vintage chandeliers in such gorgeous facilities. The tour was informative and fun - and you get to see some Clydesdales! The only strike that I have to give against it is even though they own multiple seltzer and cider brands, they do not offer any of those for your free pour at the end of the day. My gluten free friend had to pass it up, so I sat mine out, too, to be nice. I could understand if they only offered Bud and Bud Light at the end, but they had a collection of taps. Just add a cider! read more

I never drink Bud, but we decided to check this place out since we were in the area. The tour was surprisingly good. First of all, FYI they currently do not offer the free tour, apparently because of Covid. So we chose the 1hr tour which was $20 + tax. I'm not sure if this is the same tour that was free before. There was only a few of us in the group, which was nice. The tour itself goes through a few parts of the distillery. It didn't take too long, which I thought was perfect. In one room you can try the Bud that is finished and has not yet been packaged, which is meant to be its freshest state. Now I don't like Bud typically, but I have to admit that this was fairly good. The tour guide actually let us have 2 glasses there, which was cool. The tour finishes at the biergarten where you can have another glass. Tour also comes with a hat + glass read more

On one hand we really enjoyed our tour of the brewery and Clydesdales. Our tour guides were engaging and very friendly and we enjoyed the history of the 2 drinks we had while here. What we very much did not enjoy was the security service here who rather than politely ask us why we had broken off from our tour group, verbally accosted us when we had to quickly walk the approximate 100 feet from our tour guide to the ACTUAL EXIT OF THE CAMPUS after a time sensitive matter. Id understand if we broke of to go to a bathroom or somewhere we did not know, but to aggressively harass us after we said we made an honest mistake was uncalled for and soured the mood. read more

Enjoyed our finisher tour! It was short and sweet, we walked through some of the factories with our tour guide Fil! Cool guy with bunch of cheesy jokes. Lots of free beer ~3 glasses. By the beer barrel we got to top off and you could easily get two glasses and then at the end we got a free glass of our choice! We also got a free glass and hat. Not bad for $20! Definitely recommend if you're around the STL Area. read more

My manager reserved the private bonfire area for The Brewery holiday lights. It was a magical team event that everyone enjoyed. The bonfire included a buffet inside, open bar, hot chocolate/cookies, supplies for some-mores and access to the VIP parking. We had ample time to explore the lights, have drinks and conversations around the bonfire and enjoy the evening. The lights were beautiful and the music playing got you in the holiday spirit. There was a parade with lighted floats and a Clydesdale driven carriage. I give this event four stars only because the buffet was not diverse enough. I am vegan and was only able to eat the homemade chips and a roll(which were awesome). We had a couple of Jewish teammates who only ate the Mac and cheese because the meat dishes were not labeled. A salad or some side veggies or vegan chili would have been some nice options. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this for a team or family holiday event. read more

Anheuser-Busch Companies - Lights and seltzers! - Breweries Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

The Anheuser-Busch tour completely exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide Mark was so passionate about his work and the history of A-B that it has caused me to think a second time about their place in history and their contribution to American culture. The Clydesdales are beautiful, exceeded only by the story behind them. The facility itself is remarkable, the sheer volume is impressive for sure however the care and quality of the product is something I wasn't expecting. I left with a deep appreciation of the work that goes into a single bottle of Budweiser, Rolling Rock, or one of the 30 other varieties produced on this campus. Truly impressive and worth a visit. read more

Great tour. I love seeing how things are made. And then you get to sample the products. I don't even like Budweiser, but there is something about drinking it here that makes you a fan. Maybe most importantly, they keep it at the perfect beer temperature. It truly was the best Bud I've ever had. The grounds are immaculate. I saw zero trash. It's beautiful. Just walking around the brewery on a nice day is worth the visit. It's so pleasant. The Clydesdales are here too, so that's pretty cool. The only thing disappointing is seeing how much automation is changing the workplace. You'll see very few workers as so much has been automated. This is not just an Anheuser-Busch phenomenon, but something that is happening everywhere. There is something about the dearth of people around that made this old man kinda sad. Anheuser-Busch is a great American company. They definitely show you that and make you feel it on the tour. It's a good one not to be missed. If you love America, you'll love this tour. read more

Hard to come to STL and not do a Anheuser-Busch brewery tour! I am not the biggest beer guy, but will gladly take tours at brewhouses as it's always fun to learn about the beermaking process as well as sample their goods. I honestly was not expecting the Hollywood tour that they provided! Upon walking into the lobby you are greeted with a Disneyland trove of treasures, so it's good to spend some time wandering around first before checking in for one of the tours. Speaking of the tours, they have several different levels, think of a basic, intermediate, and advanced with prices obviously getting higher with each step up. I went with the middle of the road tour, which was under $20 and included several beers and an hour long tours. I will tell you that if it is a hot summer day, you are in luck as many of the stops are in door with air conditioning besides the Clydesdales which everyone of course comes for. You will make several pit stops at some of their fermentation halls and history rooms, get ready to drop your jaw with their fermentation tanks, they are absolutely massive! Then of course come the Clydesdales, which everyone gets giddy over. You can get up and personal for photos or find some iconic shots with the wagons and sometimes they even bring them out for those iconic shots. As mentioned earlier, you will have several pit stops to try various Budweiser beers and the rare (At least for me) Bud Select, which is delicious. Last stop where they drop you off is the beer garden for a final beer or in many cases you end up doing a flight tasting of their huge lineup. The outdoor beer garden is quite large and even offers up food, so it's a great idea for lunches. Fabulous tour and well worth every penny! Would highly suggest to anyone looking for an iconic spot to visit in STL. read more

Definitely a must-do when visiting the area! I don't even drink, but had a great time here learning about the company's history, the brewing process, and seeing the Clydesdales!

Of course visiting to The Lou, we had to stop at THE Anheuser-Bush Brewery. This brewery is gigantic people. Definitely the largest brewery I've been to thus far (and if you know me.. I go to a lot!) You can take a tour (multiple tour options are available), have a drink at the outside bar/biergarten, visit the inside bar in the back, sign up and take some interesting classes, or visit the gift store. We kinda did a little bit of everything. We visited the gift store, saw the clydesdales (I'm telling you people these things are gigantic. Lloyd was easily one of the largest animals I've seen in my life. The pictures I took didn't do my boy justice), and took a drink at the outside biergarten and watched some football. At the bar we spoke (and I'm sure bothered) one of the bartenders named Chel. She made our entire experience to the brewery that much better. I hope whenever I return back to the city she is there. She was the best, treated us with such hospitality, and told us the ins and outs of the factory. We need more Chel's in our lives. Everything was very clean, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending a tipsy Sunday here. If you're in St. Louis you gotta stop by for a beer or two! read more

I dashed over to AB on a Friday in the middle of the afternoon to pick up a couple of holiday gifts at the gift shop. I tried to purchase them online but they were charging an exorbitant amount for shipping and I work about 12 minutes away. It looked like there were plenty of people there taking tours and partaking at the Biergarten. So much so that there wasn't a single open parking spot in either section of their parking lot and I had to go find street parking. Once I finally got in there I found what I was looking for, paid, and exited. The parking took longer than the shopping! I'm sure I'll be back! read more

The AB Brewery tour is one of the few things on the StL 101 list that I hadn't done. I'd been to the brewery before -- for the holiday lights -- but never for the tour. I don't like beer. My party arrived before 10 a.m., but the free tour wasn't for another hour. We decided to pay $10/each for a longer tour (the Day Fresh tour) that included the packaging of the product. I think it was about an hour and fifteen minutes. It didn't seem that long. We learned about the brewing process, packaging, and the company's history, including Clydedales and prohibition. I recommend learning a bit about the Busch family history before you go on the tour because you won't hear much about it. The star is the product, not the family. The tour is well-run. We went into several buildings, rode elevators and escalators, scaled stairs, and ended with a trolley ride.   Our guide experienced some issues with audio equipment so she instead spoke loudly and we heard her better than we could with a speaker! We had two samples during the tour, plus a full bottle of Michelob ultra light to take home (or something like that), and a full glass of beer of your beverage of choice (for me, lemonade) at the Biergarten following the tour. I recommend the paid tour for those who enjoy beer and want to see the packaging side of AB. You will get your money's worth. Stop by the biergarten for food and drink after. read more
