OMG the pretzels with selections of mustards are the perfect complement to the range of beers! We got lucky and hit craft beer week (check the website they have all kinds of fun events like yoga and beer too). Our choices ranged from blueberry beer (bless, with real blueberries bobbing around!) to an interesting citrus beer choice for grammie and double IPA for the true aficionados. We were with a big group and were really comfortable taking over an end section of the high top tables. Great seating options for big groups and the hall area is very spacious. Chicken pesto sandwich was a fan favorite along with bratwurst (they were out of the German potato salad the day we were there-it's yummy). Only weird thing about the place the day we were there was the music. There was quite a range of genres covered;it was distracting. Great place to take out of towners looking to kill a few hours, topped by a walk down to see the massive Clydesdales. Timed basketball arcade machine (free) for two was also good fun (especially after a few!). Prices are very reasonable--just remember the selection is limited to A-B beverages read more

Budweiser Brewery Experience - Beer Tours Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

See all

Whoa I'm surprised this was so cool. Free tours with free samples are totally worth it. This was the best tasting Budweiser I've ever had - but is this the only Budweiser I've ever had? I'm not sure. The guide was very friendly and took her time. It was a larger group but they have the tours down pat. read more

The Budweiser brewery has a nice beer garden with some nice pulled pork sandwiches or meatball sliders they have all different types of beer on draft and in bottles it's a great atmosphere some big screen TVs nice place to watch a sporting event the waitstaff and bartenders very very friendly people highly recommend trying it read more

Even though I am more of an aficionado of craft brews, I still had to make a stop off here at the "King of Beers." The tour was pretty exciting and informative. You get to sample a variety of Anheuser-Busch libations, even test market brews that haven't been released to the general market yet..............no ill side effects so far. The coolest part was walking down to the stables and watching the Clydesdale horse team getting groomed and prepped for a local event; Amazing!!!!! read more

Love this place!! I'm actually from NH and the first time I actually visited was when I lived in Boston... go figure! I'm not too much of a beer drinker although I'll have a Bud Light from time to time so I thought it would be cool to see how it was made. I was super impressed, this place is awesome and the tour was very informative. Its absolutely free and you get to try 2 different types of beer. So many different types of beer are produced by Anheuser- Busch that I was not aware of, I was amazed and it is because of the tour I am now completely obsessed with Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry, its wicked good! Not to mention you get to see all of the pretty Clydesdale horses which was my favorite part!!! They are so cool!! read more

Free. Free tour. Free Beer. Ok seriously I'm a bit of a beer snob but didn't realize A-B owns Stella for instance. Tried my first Michelob (amber bock) - not much taste but certainly not bad. As others have said on the weekends the bottling plant is not active and it sounds like that would be an impressive sight! The Clydesdales are very impressive and you can get fairly close to them although behind a rope. Well worth the trip! read more

The horses were amazing. The gift shop was overpriced, but still cool. The tour was long and boring,, but you get 2 small brews at the end and a small sample at the beginning.. free bag of pretzels and some guys trying to peddle a souvenir photo to you and your friends. I looked ugly in it so I didn't buy it.. besides it was $20. The older lady at the bar was very very cool and knowledgeable (even about foreign affairs in regards to the budweiser brand). the grounds were pretty, clean, and well maintained.. but I just can't get over the LONG wait of a boring tour and anticipation to get the free brew... maybe I was a little too anxious, but overall, a time well spent with friends. read more

while it is the evil empire and probably deserves a drop in stars because of it, the tours here are great. The brewmaster especially. Penny was our leader and was fantastic. You get to go behind the scenes and even have a bud out of a cold conditioned tank. For 25 a person it is a very reasonable price, plus you get some goodies on the way out. Seeing the bottling/canning line up close was a real treat as well. The regular tour is also very good and ends up in the hospitality room where you get to sample many of their beer products. read more

Highly recommend. This tour has the right level of information and really takes you through the whole beer making process, on site, live. Including the packing floor. Our tour guide was Devon, and she was super helpful, energizing, and well informed. In addition , samples abound....a guide array is offered. You will certainly walk away a Bud fan and knowing what you like amongst their many offerings. read more

I was in Nashua for a dog show and was looking for something to do local. I did the complementary your which was about an hour long including the beer tasting at the end. I highly recommend checking this place out ! The staff was friendly and informative and our tour guide was great. read more

Our tour guide Kathy was amazing! We had a great time and learned a lot! Not overly priced which I was very pleased about. Will definitely do again! Cant wait to see the horses when they are here June 1st!! read more

I don't usually care for corporate beer, but this tour was educational. I can't believe this is one of the smaller Anheuser-Busch breweries. It is enormous and very clean. The free beer they served tasted crisp and fresh. Even the water there tastes great. read more

First of all, we tried calling them like a million times, but there was no response. They charged us $10 per person for the tour. If the tour is being charged, they need to ensure that the plant is operational or at least let us know that the plant is under maintenance before they accept payment. We ended up paying money to see the lines being washed and under maintenance. I dint want to pay $10 and travel all the way to see washing activity. They need to better coordinate the tours and ensure it doesn't reach a fall eventually. It reflects extremely poorly on the brand. I don't recommend the tour, unless you are sure that the plant is operational before you start. read more

Had a great time! Took the Brewmaster's tour. It was worth the extra money. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. My husband has difficulty standing for a long period of time... something I am usually good about taking into consideration when planning day trips. I guess we were too excited about taking the tour because neither one of us considered the walking. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. A gift shop employee suggested that we borrow a wheelchair. Great! This is something we had never considered. It worked out wonderfully AND getting a wheelchair for the day is something we now do regularly. I am so thankful for what probably seems like a simple resolution because now my husband is able to go so many more places. I will always be grateful to that Budweiser employee. The Clydesdales are a must see. The whole day was fantastic. read more

The brewmaster tour is a great experience. We learned so much on the tour, and it is so fun to see all the machines in action! It is unbelievable how fast the bottles move down the line, are filled, and packaged. The tour guide we had was very knowledgeable. The tour makes you appreciate all the work and precision that goes into making beer. read more

I had such a great time! These guys give an awesome tour. Plus there's free beer!!!!

Very informative. I had been through brewery tours before so I was familiar with all the terms and processes, but to see this on such a large scale was cool. Getting a sample straight from the tank before bottling and pastuerizing was good. Samples at the end of the tour, and then you can take a short walk to the stables to see the clysdales. read more

The tour was a little skimpy, but it was free and a good time. The free beers and lounge for the tour guests was quite impressive. We also checked out the gift shop and the Clydesdale stables. Definitely recommend. read more

We had a party of 20 for the brew tour. We had difficulty getting in touch with a live person when I called multiple times. We rented a bus took 20 people on Sat night for a tour and the Xmas lights. Initially said we were too many for tour, but after explaining my difficulty planning the event they got us a tour! Very thankful the night went off without a hitch. Place was beautifully decorated. Place was packed. Would do it again. Merry Christmas! read more

Great time with knowledgeable employees who are friendly. Multiple samples to taste and enjoyed the information on how they are able to offer consistent product! read more

Had a great tour today! Donna McKeon was fantastic! Well worth the trip to Merrimack NH.

Talk about an awesome time!! The Bier-garden is a great pace to start to get a drink and food. The tour was awesome! Katherine, our tour guide, answered all questions we had and made the tour fun and interactive. The $10 dollar tour was about an hour and a half long, 30 minutes of it was in their private bar testing beer. We got to taste Bud Lite right out of the tank, I think a dream my boyfriend has had for a long time now. You get a complementary glass upon leaving the tour. Meeting the Clydesdales they train on site for parades and commercials was the perfect ending. I spent way to much money in the gift shop! read more

I took the brewmaster tour on Sept. 23 in Merrimack, NH. I highly recommend it. I got a great overview of the brewing process and the tourguide was very knowledgeable. I also saw the Clydesdales. If you have any interest in the beermaking process, I highly recommend this tour. read more

Awesome tour today! We learned so much, and the free samples are a huge plus! Our tour guide was Aaron and he was great! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Enjoyable tour.. free glass was given. Very informative. Highly recommended. But I wouldn't with kids.. very clean. Energetic staff. Nice gift shop. Definitely would visit again in warmer weather to walk the gardens. read more

The tour actually costs $10 a head but that gets you a simple logo glass and two 6-ounce beers (of your choice) at the end of the tour... not a bad trade. They serve Bud Light fresh out of one of the tanks about 1/2 way through. C'mon guys... how 'bout a real Bud instead? The "tanks" of beer at the various stages of manufacture were not too exciting to look at but the balcony view of the manufacturing line was fascinating. The tour does not include a walk to the Clydesdale stables but you're free to do that if you want after the tour. It's worth the quarter mile trip! read more

Took my husband here last weekend for his birthday the general tour was very nice after we sat in the beer garden to have lunch the service was HORRIBLE we waited 20 minutes for a server to take our order and left ... I would understand if they were busy but people around us we getting waited on and left while we sat there waiting for someone to take our order!!! STAY AWAY read more

We went for the brewery lights and it was so nice! We also did the tour that we don't think is really worth $10 but you get a free glass. Beer was great and games with family was awesome. Some of the servers are a little rude and don't want to be there. They also have fire pits you can sit around. Very nice environment! Will definitely be back! read more

Great tour and guide, a very clean property. Impressive stables, again so clean. Grounds lovely, a great way to spend an afternoon. Biergarten has a delicious variety of foods. Such a great place in So, New Hampshire, I will go back again soon! read more

We did the complimentary tour. No complaints! It was about 40 minutes and we got 2 samples afterwards. Jilene was our tour guide and she was great- very friendly and knowledgable. Admittedly, Anheuser-Busch beers are not my favorite, but the tour is very informative and there's some decent beer to sample at the end (I tried the Bud Light Straw-ber-ita and the Stella Artois Cidre). I'd like to try the Brewmaster tour next time! read more

Great tour. Have the michelob amber bock and get a Lindt chocolate. I am a bit of a beer snob and don't really enjoy the complete lack of flavor in bud beers but enjoyed the visit anyway. read more

A good, free way to spend an hour or two. Good tour with free beer at the end. If you've been on brewery tours before, you can guess what most of this one consists of (tanks, hoses, bottling line, tasting room, gift shop). Apparently one of the only places you can see the Clydesdales though, which was pretty cool. read more

Went there with 10 people last friday and had a blast. Only one person out of our group has been there before so it was very interesting and fun for all of us. Laurin was our tour guide and she was fantastic. We will try to come back next time we are in the area. read more

i love it here! the tour is fun(and free!) and the tour will take you through the beer ractory and show you how the beer is made and everything. at the end of the tour you get 2 free smaples of beer and if your under 18 there is a soda machine. the gift shop is great and the ground are really pretty with lots of flowers and its nice to walk around. you can also see there horses that they have there(also free). its s really fun way to spend and afternoon :) read more

16 brothers for Budweiser, amazing place to c the fabrication of true American beers, and some special breed of horses which used to deliver the beer back in the days. gr8 bar at the end of the tour. read more
