Take a Photo with a Budweiser Clydesdale

Next weekend members of the public can take photos with one of the world famous Anheuser-Busch Budweiser Clydesdale horses right here in Merrimack.

According to Carla Reardon, a spokesperson for the Merrimack facility, the annual Fall in a Love with a Budweiser Clydesdale Photo Session will be held on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Here is a press release that Reardon issued about the event:

"The Anheuser-Busch Merrimack brewery offers guests the opportunity to bring a camera and pose for photos with a world-famous Budweiser Clydesdale.  These “gentle giants” have been an Anheuser-Busch symbol of tradition since the first Clydesdale hitch and a red beer wagon paraded to celebrate the end of Prohibition in 1933.

"Guests who are 21 years of age or older may try a sample of our featured beer: Michelob Amber Bock.  This American-style dark lager has a deep nut brown color with the aroma notes of noble hops, caramel, red fruit, citrus, and spice.  The taste is slightly sweet, malty, and nutty with a fine-balanced bitterness."

Reardon noted in the press release that visitors can also enjoy a complimentary Anheuser-Busch brewery tour Thursday-Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The tour includes a visit to the Brew House, cool cellars and high-speed packaging lines.
