Beer Me!

Bellies full and a little thirsty, this awesome foursome headed to our most anticipated event: 

Beer School at the Anheuser Busch Brewery! 

As we waited for class to begin, we explored the main floor of the building.

That's where I found this delicious drink:

The drink on the left is called Dragon Fruit Peach.  

Luckily I bought one while I was there because I haven't been able to find it since!

After perusing the main floor, it was time for class to begin!

The classroom was set up for about 40 people, but we ended up being the only ones in the class!

While in class, we tasted hops and malted barley, and sampled 4 beers.

Since no one else was in the class, when it was over, 

we were able to drink all of the beers that we sampled that day.

We quickly became friends with our teacher, Scott!

(I think we were his favorite students! ;)   )

After Beer School, we toured the brewery. 

I was excited to hear that our first stop was at the Clydesdales' stalls.

Inside the barn

Our next stop on the tour is what I like to call the "Cold" room!

Technically, it's called the aging facility.

All of the workers were friendly and knowledgeable.

As you can see, they are talented too!

Our tour guide was a college gymnast.

There used to be a school on the Anheuser Busch Brewery site.  

However, they stopped using this building as a school because 

administrators felt it was inappropriate for students to be playing at recess on a brewery site!

One last picture before leaving. We didn't want to go!

Later on that evening, we had dinner outside of this historical sports bar.

We definitely saw some interesting characters pass us by!

The quote at the bottom of the menu is funny! 

After dinner we went on a little pub crawl!

Here are Keith and I at Big Daddy's!

Savannah and Kevin at Big Daddy's

After our pub crawl, we walked past the arch back to our hotel.

Now, you may be wondering? 

Who fell asleep first tonight?

Any guesses?

Well....

Surprisingly tonight it was Keith--

and he fell asleep in Kevin and Savannah's bed!haha

We started taking bets on who it would be the next night--

Kevin or me?
