Checkout STL Brewery Lights at Anheuser-Busch

See more than a million twinkling lights at STL Brewery Lights at Anheuser-Busch Brewery located just south of downtown St. Louis.

For the first time, David and I decided to see the Brewery Lights from the inside. We used to live with-in walking distance when we lived in St Louis in Benton Park, we would walk around it, but not inside it. I think we used to think it cost a fee.

Free Samples

When you head in look for the free samples of Anheuser-Busch adult beverages with different choices.

Outside there is also a map of activity areas in the brewery.

Next we entered the brewery.

Inside it is fully decorated including this vintage truck.

*You can by sausages and many other food items inside as well as outside.*

A Place to Warm Up

Next, we headed indoors where there is a shop, refreshments, and decorated with Christmas trees and garlands. Most importantly we located nice large restrooms for the kids.

S’more Station

Outdoors we came across a s’more station. My son and I bought a s’more package that included a marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate with a stick to cook them on a fire pit. This was a lot of fun for both of us.

Walk Among the Lights

Then we walked through the lit-up trees and towers of the brewery.

A Kiss Me station has been created for romantic photos.

Next we walked under a breezeway of red and green lights.

Then to the right we came across a tunnel of lights.

*Next on the left is the kids rides area.*

Nearby, a kid’s area included rides.

After the kid rides, we found kettle corn and funnel cakes.

*Bear and eagle carving at the woodcarvers station*

From there we came across woodcarvers with chainsaws blasting away making figures.

Then we came to the end where a large Christmas tree changes colors.

Next we headed back and stopped briefly at a courtyard where these yellow lights flickered about.

Then we walked a bit north of the s’more station area to checkout this tall multi-colored tree.

Nearby is a giant snowman.

My Take

I think this was fun to do if you have out-of-town guests and you want to show them Christmas lights St. Louis style. I’m not sure if I would do it every year, but it is was worth doing especially when we found out that it was free with samples!
