"The sweet smell of hops hung heavily in the humid morning over the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, 721 Pestalozzi St., in South St. Louis. 'If we stay too long we shall be fermented,' Liu Ju-tsai, a young Chinese journalist, said with a big grin on his face as he and 13 other visitors from the People's Republic of China headed into the Brew House monday morning. The delegation, which consists of editors, diplomats and reporters, was on its first full day of visiting St. Louis as they hopscotch by air across America - from Los Angeles to New York. Beer... big airplanes... and the soft, pastoral world of Claude Monet were the chief objects of interest for the Chinese visitors. Beginning with bacon, eggs, and a warm welcome from Fred Kuhlman, senior vice president at Anheuser-Busch Brewery, the Chinese delegation moved out for a tour of the giant brewery."
