- Nearly 100% of our barley comes from America’s Farmers
- We’re investing billions in cutting-edge innovations
- Working hand-in-hand with American farmers to raise the next generation of barley
They heralded a new era of prosperity for Anheuser-Busch, and a weary nation’s return to optimism. From their first appearance in 1933 to their enduring presence on the American landscape, the Clydesdales are more than the symbol of Budweiser beer; they are the living embodiment of America’s great industrial spirit.
More than 300 years ago, this
imposing breed was first
developed for farm work in the
region of Clydesdale, Scotland.
They are most easily
recognized for their substantial
feather - the long hairs of the
lower leg that cover the
hooves. Despite a dressy
appearance, they are capable
of pulling a 1-ton load at 5 MPH.
The Budweiser Clydesdales
made their first-ever
appearance on April 7, 1933. A
gift from August A. Busch, Jr.
and Adolphus Busch to their
father in celebration of the
repeal of Prohibition, the
presentation of the original two
six-horse hitches of champion
Clydesdales moved father, sons
and drivers to tears.
In 1950, the Budweiser
Clydesdales received their very
own mascot: the Dalmatian.
Traditionally used to guide
horse-drawn fire carts,
this spotted dog serves as friend
and companion to the team,
sitting aside the driver. To see
