Here are some “fun facts” about Prohibition:
- Before Prohibition, 1,237 breweries operated in the U.S.
- By the end of Prohibition only 48 remained.
- Today there are 1,444 large and small breweries in operation.
- To stay in business during Prohibition, Anheuser-Busch built truck bodies and refrigerated cabinets; manufactured barley malt syrup and ice cream; and entered the baker’s yeast business. Anheuser-Busch even produced a non-alcohol version of Budweiser.
- Anheuser-Busch delivered one of the first cases of legal beer to the White House, using a team
of Clydesdales!
Anheuser-Busch has created Here’s to Beer – an industry-wide campaign to help showcase beer’s wonderful attributes and remind people why beer is America’s favorite beverage of moderation.
