Beer gardens got their real start when the great German immigration begain to flow into St.Louis in 1848. In a matter of a few short years, beer gardens were as much a part of St. Louis as the Mississippi. One such garden was at the "Grand Centre" on Gravois.
St. Louis got into the spirit as Eberhard Anheuser of Anheuser-Busch, right, hands a case of Budweiser beer destined for President Roosevelt to an airline pilot.
The first of 79 mammoth stainless steel 'chip tanks' being built by the Nooter Corp. for Anheuser-Busch's Houston brewery are loaded onto barges here Thursday.
There is a right way and wrong way to draw a glass of beer from a tap. This is the correct way-letting the beer bounce off the bottom of the glass instead of allowing it to trickle down the side.
