Anheuser-Busch Brewery
Merrimack, New Hampshire 10 August 2012
We came up to Merrimack on Friday so as not to have to leave home at Oh Dark Thirty on Saturday for the Antique construction Equipment show in Wilton NH on Saturday. We had made reservations at the Quality Inn and on the way there we spotted the A-B Brewery which is also home to some of their famous Clydesdale horses. After checking in at the Inn (ha!) we went back down the road to the Brewery to look at the horses. After admiring these tremendous beasts we went over to the Brewery gift shop and found that a tour was just about to leave so we joined up. No charge for the tour or for the visits to the horse barns, which was nice. The tour was very impressive and it is astonishing how much beer they can make in that one facility and how quickly is goes! The operation runs 24/7/365 to keep up with the demand in New England. |
The stables and grounds were immaculately kept and the horses were, as might be expected, spotless. It was evident by the beautiful flower beds that they don't have deer problem on the grounds. Around here (CT) any plant that costs more than $9.99 is a target for the deer! From the stables it was on to the brewery. |
If you see your exhibit or machine and would care to drop me a line or two, or even a paragraph, about it I will be delighted to add your comments to this page. Please send to webmaster@neme-s.org To identify a photo just hover your cursor over the photo and a tag should pop up. Please use the last three digits of the tag to identify the photo. For example if the tag came up DSC03974.jpg (205067 bytes) the info I would need is 976.jpg. If this is a multi page unit the page number would also be useful. |
