Ditto that.
I went down to St. Louis on a college field trip. We did the Federal Reserve, A.G. Edwards headquarters, Hooters for lunch (we each drank a pitcher) and then hit Anheuser Busch. I didn't like their beer before the tour, but since I have to say that Budweiser is my favorite "macro-brew". Plus, we got to sit with the VP of Finance in the sample room for two hours...
The tour is very family friendly. They explain about the hops and barley, show you the draught horses, you see a movie on the history of A-B. The buidings are very cool. All are red brick and have the year they were built over the main doorway. They range from 1880 to 1997...
