Lights Week-Day 4

Each Christmas season Anheuser-Busch decks itself in festive lights and decorations and invites the public to take in the glowing brewery each evening. The old brick facades of the brewery have lights highlighting their edges; looking up to the lights against the night sky is a lovely sight and adds a new perspective to the historic buildings. Once you turn your attention to what’s at eye level, you’ll find more twinkling lights, giant balloons, and other Christmas decorations. Local craftsmen make woodcarvings in large logs, while vendors serve seasonal treats and drinks. There is also a small ice rink where visitors can rent skates and do a bit of ice skating in the chilly winter air. Of course, the brewery lights also feature plenty of opportunities to get Anheuser-Busch beer, ranging from their traditional line-up to more crafty beers. In addition to outdoor areas, the brewery has its biergarten open with plenty of heat lamps to keep out the cold.

The Anhesuer-Busch Brewery Lights has something for everyone, although we think the best part is still wandering around the grounds and looking at the lights on the trees and buildings.
