World-Famous Budweiser Clydesdales Visit a Mane Event!
Local visit in support of Anheuser-Busch’s partnership with Folds of Honor and in celebration of Budweiser’s 150th anniversary and America’s 250th birthday
Thank you to everyone who came out to welcome the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales during their cross-country tour celebrating 150 years of Budweiser and its 16-year partnership with Folds of Honor.
On Saturday, June 6, the Budweiser Clydesdales paraded from Morrell Park to Plant Riverside District with the help of the Coastal Heritage Society’s Revolutionary War Color Guard, the Savannah Bananas Band, The Savannah US250 Commission, and the Chatham County Veterans Council. Restaurants along the way were presented with special 150th anniversary Budweiser during the parade.
For 150 years, Budweiser has celebrated the people, traditions, and moments that define America. In partnership with celebrations happening nationwide, the Savannah events are designed to bring communities together while honoring both Budweiser’s historic milestone and America’s 250th birthday. Budweiser and Southern Crown Partners presented a check supporting Folds of Honor, helping provide educational scholarships to the families of America’s fallen and disabled service members and first responders. Together, Anheuser-Busch, its industry-leading brands like Budweiser, and wholesaler partners have donated $37 million, helping fund 7,400 scholarships for Folds of Honor recipients.
Since 1933, the Budweiser Clydesdales have served as the enduring symbol of Anheuser-Busch’s heritage and commitment to quality. The traveling hitches make hundreds of appearances annually across the country and remain one of the most recognizable attractions in sports and entertainment.
Each horse stands approximately six feet tall at the shoulder, weighs an average of 2,000 pounds, and consumes up to 50 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water daily. Every hitch also travels with a Dalmatian, honoring the historic brewery tradition of the dogs accompanying horse-drawn beer wagons.
ABOUT BUDWEISER
Budweiser, an American-style lager, was introduced in 1876 when company founder Adolphus Busch set out to create the United States’ first truly national beer brand – brewed to be universally popular and transcend regional tastes. Each batch of Budweiser stays true to the same recipe used by generations of Anheuser-Busch brewmasters. Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavorful, crisp beer with layers of premium American hop aromas, brewed for the perfect balance of flavor and refreshment. Budweiser is made using time-honored methods including “kraeusening” for natural carbonation and Beechwood aging, which results in unparalleled balance and character.
