Budweiser Clydesdales

You’ve seen them on TV ads and in parades across the nation. Now see them live! The world famous Budweiser Clydesdales have returned to The Big E to help put a shining star on the Daily Parade procession.  These finely groomed marvels are sure to be impressive as they thunder down the street pulling a colorful red, white and gold beer wagon filled with Budweiser!

 

Did you know?

• The Budweiser Clydesdales tradition began in 1933 when August A. Busch, Jr. gave his father a team of Clydesdales and a bright red brewery wagon to celebrate the end of Prohibition.

• Today, Anheuser-Busch owns the largest herd of Clydesdales in the world with about five stallions and 40 mares in the herd, and there are about 25 foals born each year.

• The Dalmation first appeared on top of the beer wagon in 1950 for the Newark Brewery Opening and has been the official mascot ever since!
