ST. LOUIS, MO – November 16, 2022 – In celebration of Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to making a positive impact in the places where we live and work, the brewer is holding a friendly brewing competition that will benefit four of its St. Louis non-profit partners this holiday season.
“As the country’s largest brewer, we are uniquely positioned to work with our partners to strengthen our hometown community of St. Louis as we have done for the past 165 years,” said Colleen Lucas, Vice President of Community Impact at Anheuser-Busch . “This year, we’re excited to take our commitment to the next level alongside local non-profit partners by hosting a light-hearted competition that will unite our neighbors, encourage the spirit of giving, and create a future with more cheers.”
In September, four local nonprofits teamed up to brew historical recipes from the Anheuser-Busch archives at the brewer’s Star Shop brewery in St. Louis. Representatives from 100 Neediest Cases and the Missouri Historical Society united to brew a lager from an original 1884 recipe, while directors of the St. Louis Area Foodbank and LifeWise StL joined forces to brew a recipe from 1896.
The unique brews will be judged by a panel of beer industry experts and local leaders who will choose the winning brew. Both brews will be judged based on their aroma, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel and overall ability to embody the taste profile outlined in the original recipes. The winning non-profit pair will receive a $40,000 donation from the Anheuser-Busch Foundation to support the organizations’ missions and brighten the holiday season for families and individuals in the St. Louis region. The second-place team will receive a $20,000 donation. Both donations will be split evenly between the non-profit teams.
To recognize the work of its non-profit partners, Anheuser-Busch will announce the winning brewing pair during a special thank you reception where the brews will be available on draught.
The company’s 37th-annual Brewery Lights will also return to the St. Louis Brewery every Thursday through Sunday starting tomorrow, Nov. 17 through Dec. 30. Guests are invited to stroll down Pestalozzi Street and experience a reimagined Brewery Lights tradition that includes more than a million twinkling lights and a host of family-friendly activities and private, VIP experiences.
The brewer’s Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, Missouri will also be inviting visitors to make a reservation to spend their “Holidays with the Clydesdales” by exploring the beautifully lit barn and festively decorated facility every Thursday through Sunday starting Nov. 25 through Dec. 30.
