We spent the night on Monday in New Hampshire so Tuesday morning we decided to take a tour of Anheuser Busch in Merrimack on our way back to Vermont. The grounds were full of gorgeous flowers. Here are Samantha and Timmy on our way in to the tour…

All of the kids were enjoying making faces in the shiny tables because they could see their reflections. We tried to get a picture….

The beginning of the tour shows a garden of hops…

Next I got a nice picture of the main building before we went inside…

Once inside you can take whatever pictures you want but I wasn’t able to get any good ones. All of the tanks are just too BIG! :) Here is a side bin they had set up to show you the beechwood chips that they use in the bottom of the tanks to flavor the beer. The chips are used, cleaned, used once more, and then they are used for mulch around the grounds.

After the tour we walked to the stables to see the horses. Here is Samantha and Timmy standing by one of the wagons on display…

Here is a side view of the wagon…

And one last picture of the kids by the flowers in the middle of the stable area…
