We’ve managed to see Paris, Brazil, Lebanon, Texas, Mexico, and another Belleville already. You’ve gotta have some stones as a mayor or settler to go and hijack the name Paris for your Podunk town in Indiana. We’ve also gotten text messages sent from the future. I don’t know if we’ve got a Donnie Darko thing going on where there’s a tangent universe that is destine to collide with the primary universe unless someone gets a jet engine dropped on them but things have been a bit trippy.
The Budweiser grounds are f’n huge. It’s like a city in a city. They gave us free beer at the end but it was only 2 10 ounce glasses and they didn’t even have that crazy of beer. You’d think that a company of that magnitude would brew more than generic piss beer. The only interesting beer they made was some blueberry stuff and I overheard the bartender saying they had that stuff for a week on the tour then dumped it. Each of us got mix and match sixers of various stuff from the gift shop.
Possible reviews to follow. Correction: possible drunken reviews to follow. Those will probably be infinitely more illegible and entertaining. Double correction: the lame hotel's fridge doesn't work so we'll have to postpone beer reviews.
We scoped the horses, apparently there are like 250 of those beasts around their various locations in the country. In the stable one of them must have been eating something funky cuz he decided to blast ass quite loudly while the whole tour group was less than 20 feet away. Some of the other people were trying not to laugh but lets be honest, a horse audibly farting during the middle of a brewery tour is funny. You can’t not laugh.
We then hit the famous Arch. We rode in what they called a tram to the top. To get an idea of the size of this thing, imagine a dog kennel. Then cram 600 lbs of grade A badass into it. We get to the top and hand to god, that damn thing was swaying. At first you don’t realize it but eventually we all started freaking out. The thing is 630 feet tall, I’d prefer it stay stationary while I’m at the top (and yes, I fully understand it has to be capable of movement due to weather and metal expansion/contraction, that’s not the point here.) Now we all have headaches that even 800 milli can’t cure.
We ate at Jack in the Box for the first time, unfortunately it was in the ghetto. Food was good though. And if you were wondering if people from St. Louis do talk like that lame rapper Nelly (remember him?) where they say ‘hurr’ instead of ‘here’ they do at the Jack in the Box on Gravois. A girl went “shopping on Friday, surrday, AND sunndy.”
