"Anheuser-Busch Inc. will begin test marketing April 30 of a German import beer in three U.S. metropolitan areas, the firm announced Monday. Brewed by Wurzburger Hofbrau AG in Wurzburg, West Germany, the import will be introduced initially in Boston; Hartford, Conn.; and Atlanta. Wurzburger Hofbrau, as the import will be known, will be shipped to the United States in 5,100-gallon insulated barrels. It will be packaged by Anheuser-Busch in Newark, New Jersey. 'This unique import methodology will enable us to bring Wurzburger Hofbrau into the U.S. virtually as fresh as when it left the ageing cellars in Wurzburg,' said board chairman and president August A. Busch."
Two original captions: "Busch beer packaging evolution, from the original design, flat top steel can of 1955, upper left, to the Tab Top aluminum can, lower right, which was introduced in 1978 and immediately preceded the most recent redesign." "Beer can collectors delight - With the introduction of a new label and graphic design ("The look of the 80s") for Busch beer, hundreds of can collectors are making room on their shelves. The taste of Busch beer did not change, but it is no longer called Busch Bavarian. Displaying the new Busch can is Anheuser-Busch brewery tour hostess Diane DeMercurio, left in top photo, while Jaime Craine holds one of the first Busch Bavarian cans produced in 1955. Photo below shows the can display case at the brewery."
"The 30-millionth barrel of beer produced by Anheuser-Busch, Inc. in 1974 was bunged at its St. Louis brewery Wednesday by August A. Busch Jr., right, chairman and chief executive officer, with an assist from President August A. Busch III, at left. The brief ceremony made Anheuser-Busch the first brewery in the world to produce 30 million barrels of beer in a single year."
