Thursday night, the Anheuser Busch Brewery held a special National Beer Day/The 
Repeal of Prohibition party; the event consisted of a 3 course meal with beer pairings,
live music, and beer. This was the warm up for this Saturday’s public Repeal of 
Prohibition party.

The Biergarten was closed to the public for the event, and as soon as you walked
in you were treated to the sounds of [the St. Louis Big Band](http://www.stlbigband.com/);
the jazz ensemble played music of the ’30s for the event. The bar was open and any
of the normal Biergarten selections were available.

Once dinner was ready, we were treated to a 3 course meal with an explanation of
the pairing from Brewmaster Travis Moore. The courses consisted of:

 * Budweiser Calypso Greens: Fresh chopped romaine hearts with colorful spring mix
   topped with crisp Granny Smith apples, tart yet sweet craisins, chopped walnuts
   and crumbled feta cheese. The mix is then tossed in our Budweiser Creamy Sweet
   Italian Dressing.
 * Michelob Sizzling Sirloin: Choice sirloin strip steak marinated in Michelob Original
   Lager, garlic steak marinade and topped with traditional spices. Accompanied 
   by fresh green beans highlighted with bacon.
 * Faust Double Chocolate Torte: Double chocolate torte infused with Faust Vienna-
   Style Lager and topped with a chocolate icing. The desert is then drizzled with
   Faust chocolate sauce and topped with fresh raspberries and garnished with a 
   mint leaf.

Each of the 3 beers was selected for the event because they were the 3 AB beers 
to survive prohibition; Faust was just reintroduced at the Biergarten after digging
through the AB archives for the recipe. These beers will also be available for sampling
on Saturday afternoon.

The evening ended with more beer, more music, and chatting with others at the event–
both invited guests and AB employees.

Saturday’s event is open to the public; tickets are $33 and available [here](http://www.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSearch.jsp?performance_id=3544684)
or at the Biergarten. The ticket price includes a commemorative glass, samples of
the 3 beers, and the music. Guest are encouraged to wear 1930s attire, and those
that do will receive a commemorative 1933 labeled Budweiser bottle.

The event goes from 5:00pm to 10:00pm; the Clydesdales will show up at 7:00 and 
there will be photo opportunities with them.

If you go, look for Toner and Steve. Also try their current Underground Collection
beer – Date Night, a light lager cellared on vanilla beans and cherries; it’s one
of their best beers right now.
