To celebrate 40 years in Williamsburg, Anheuser-Busch will harken back to days gone by when its world-famous Clydesdales make old-fashioned beer deliveries on Oct. 4.
The public is invited to watch and take pictures as the eight-horse Budweiser Clydesdale traveling hitch is prepared from 3 to 4 p.m. at the corner of Brooks Street and Richmond Road. The hitch will travel along Brooks Street to Richmond Road and proceed toward the college.
The Anheuser-Busch brewery opened in Williamsburg in 1972.
Anheuser-Busch has marked several special occasions with horse-and-wagon beer deliveries to bars and restaurants, memorialized in the 2012 Super Bowl commercial that depicted a beer delivery to a bar after Prohibition ended.
In real life, Clydesdales delivered the first case of Budweiser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House after beer became legal again in 1933.
