It’s no secret that the Budweiser Clydesdales are one of my favorite things about working with Anheuser-Busch beer. They’re beautiful and give everyone, regardless of age or drinking preferences, a reason to love Budweiser! The New Hampshire team of Clydesdales stayed at my barn once ...

It was an exciting weekend in in Atlanta, for NASCAR and Budweiser fans alike. Congratulations to Kasey Kahne for his Sprint Cup win at Atlanta Motor Speedway. In other news, I almost cried into my beer twice this weekend. Thursday night’s NC State game against South Carolina was like a bad...
