Anheuser-Busch Breweries Shine Bright this Holiday Season with Annual Brewery Lights Events

Brewery Lights Returns to St. Louis, Fort Collins and Adds the Merrimack Brewery to the Holiday Tradition

ST. LOUIS (Nov. 9, 2016) – Anheuser-Busch breweries in St. Louis, Fort Collins, Colorado and Merrimack, New Hampshire will light up this holiday season with a glittering Brewery Lights display. Starting Nov. 17 and running until after the Christmas holiday, guests can wander the brewery grounds, which will feature thousands of lights on display and festive activities for the whole family.

A tradition that began at the St. Louis brewery more than 30 years ago expanded to the Fort Collins' brewery last year and is now coming to Anheuser-Busch Merrimack in 2016.

“The holidays are one of our favorite times of year and we're proud to host our friends, families and neighbors in St. Louis, Fort Collins and Merrimack for our Brewery lights experience,” said Julia Mize, vice president of Beer Culture at Anheuser-Busch. “We've enhanced our events and added new holiday displays at each of our three Breweries, to make the season even more memorable. There's something for everyone, and we look forward to welcoming all to celebrate with us.”

Brewery Lights will kick off at all three locations with a formal lighting ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 17.

Throughout the festivities, guests can travel through the brewery grounds to look at the light displays and enjoy activities including roasting s'mores, sitting by the fire pits and in St. Louis, skating under the famous Budweiser sign on a custom-built ice rink. Additionally, the Budweiser Clydesdales will be available for photo opportunities at all three of the breweries, and those who are ages 21 and older can sample a variety of Anheuser-Busch products during their visit.

Entrance to Brewery Lights is free and a variety of packages and al la carte options available for guests to enhance their experience. The breweries have complimentary parking, and are wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly. Anheuser-Busch breweries will not be open Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year's Eve.
