On our complimentary tour, discover how your favorite beer is crafted by following it through the steps of the brewing process.  Since its founding in 1852 in St. Louis, Missouri, Anheuser-Busch has been perfecting this process, taking pride in producing some of the world’s finest beers, one batch at a time.

From the finest, all-natural ingredients, to the finished product, visitors of all ages will experience first-hand how we brew and package Budweiser.  Those who are 21 and older will then have an opportunity to taste some of our quality products in the Hospitality Room at the conclusion of the tour.  Soft drinks and snacks are also available.

Along your complimentary tour, you will observe the art of brewing and state-of-the-art technology as you discover how some of the world’s greatest beers are carefully brewed and packaged.  You will also learn about the extraordinary environmental initiatives and practices Anheuser-Busch has in place.  With innovative recycling programs and energy-recovery systems, the brewery is able to off-set some of its natural gas usage by environmentally friendly energy methods.  You’ll also learn how the Jacksonville Brewery’s conservation efforts are helping to support wildlife in surrounding wetland areas.

The complimentary tour is offered throughout the year.  Please check daily schedules for dates and times.  If you are interested in a more in-depth look at the brewing process or desire to refine your skills as a beer connoisseur, check out the Beermaster Tour.
