Once brewed in Newark, NY. Its landmark 55,000 gallon 25 ton water tank on top of the brewery was a giant 60' tall PBR bottle.
Both the bottle and the brewery are now gone.

NEW YORK — The King of Beers is bowing down to a food blogger.
Anheuser-Busch unveiled the ingredients of Budweiser and Bud Light for the first time Thursday, a day after a popular food blogger started an online petition to get major brewers to list what’s in their beverages.
Anheuser-Busch, which also makes Beck’s, Busch and Michelob beers, said it will list the ingredients for all of its other brands online “in the coming days.”
On its website, tapintoyourbeer.com, Anheuser-Busch lists the same ingredients for Budweiser and Bud Light: Water, barley malt, rice, yeast and hops.
The company said it is not required to list ingredients for its products, but will do so as Americans demand it.
“We want to meet their expectations,” the company said in a statement.

Kidding aside I actually liked Genny regular. A lot. I must have. I drank more of it than I can remember. Often. I often drank to the point I couldn’t remember.
Sober for over 20 now ;)
An interesting book about beer in America

Only if that horse had diseased kidneys.
Weird that so many have such strong distaste for the brand that has the #2 and #3 best selling beers in the world (beaten only by an even lighter, flavorless Chinese beer).
If you know what good beer is you will understand my post.
No "secret" ingredients. And yes, they do use beechwood in the bottom of the brewing vats.
At the end of the tour you go to the tasting room.
Up until then I really did not like Budweiser.
But when you have an ice-cold ultra-fresh Bud out of the tap, it's really something special.
Must be the canning process that takes flavor out.
Same thing with the Coor's brewery. Wonderful in the tap room, "meh" out of a can.
O/T, one of the most fun things about the A-B brewery tour is that it really is a self-contained "city" in of itself. Imagine getting hurt on the job and an Anheuser-Busch logoed ambulance shows up.
No I'm not joking. They have one.
I used to love Mickey’s Big Mouth. The only beer bottle that has a top large enough that you can pee into it when you can’t find a bathroom.

There are few rivers with more silt
the Ganges being one ;)
That said, they likely draw from the Highland park reservoir, which draws from Hemlock, which is a pretty clean lake
There is nothing like fresh Cream Ale and I absolutely love driving by the place when they are cooking - It smells like hot corn flakes
funny how tastes change - I loved MGD....
You speak of Genny Screamers.
The magic of the next day when your GI Tract erupts in violence marked by a stream like a pencil beam laser, capable of cutting out the bottom of the toilet bowl, while emitting a stench that cannot be described or tolerated.
Been there, done it. Had to use the T-shirt to clean up the mess
An overwhelming yes, as I know men who work for them, and I understand their warehouse distributors average workday is over 12 hours locally.
The fish guts you refer to is called isinglass . It does a good job of clearing up cloudy beer. ( proteins are what makes beer cloudy ) Better than any of the alternatives except for comercial filtration, which American mass produced lagers are almost all put through.
I don’t mind a little isinglass in my beer. It is not at all perceivable. If isinglass is used it is craft brewed by a smaller guy, and almost always better than the tasteless mass produced lagers.
Tried that last weekend. Fine beer. Strange how you don’t get the high alcohol hotness from it, but it kicks like a mule. Very crisp and seems light, but its not. That is for sure.
Genessee? Was that the cream ale in the green bottle?
We use to drink that when we couldn’t find Stegmeir.
Some years ago my wife and I spent a wonderful vacation in Ireland. While we drank Guiness and other Irish beers we found that most of the young people there were drinking Budweiser. Go figure!
That may be, but that doesn’t mean the beer is any good. There are SO many choices these days, and I haven’t had a budweiser in years.
I have always been a fan of Wiedemann beer...very hoppy...a little bitter
Isinglass....is a kind of finings that is used to clarify beer. I always thought it to be some kind of "moss"... But maybe not..
Oy Vey!
