Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour .... designed for photography.
A special brewery tour for JCC has been designed to get you on the brew floor and close to equipment and personnel. You don't have to shoot through the glass on this tour. This time it's all about the photography, not all about the beer......but you may enjoy a brew after the tour.
Special Photographers Tour
This isn't the regular tour about how to brew beer, info about hops, etc., usually conducted by the brewery. They understand we want to take pictures and that is how this tour has been structured. You will be right next to vats, machinery, bottling lines, etc., and you will be allowed to spend your tour time photographing.
Our tour is a modified form of the Brewmaster Tour.
Must Read
Everyone must have a Driver's License or State identification.
You must wear proper shoes for safety reason or you will be denied entrance.
- Closed Toe
- Closed Heel
- Flat (No Heels)
Laced-up shoes with sure grip soles are highly recommended. Pretend you going to run at the Y.
Logistics
Park Here:
Free Parking – Choose the parking lot on the right as you face the brewery.
Meet Here:
Walk to the green gazebo and follow the path to the entrance.
We'll meet by Larry (Clydesdale sculpture) on the path to the entrance at 9:45. If you are late, walk past Larry to the entrance straight ahead.
Other Guidelines
Clothing:
(Special Shoes see must-read note). Temperatures change dramatically from hot areas to cool areas, so a light jacket is recommended.
Equipment:
You will be walking through the brewery for approx two hours. Up and down and on steel mesh and even slippery surfaces.
Tripods and backpacks and camera bags are allowed. You might consider— lighter is better. You will photograph in a working brewery that runs 24/7. This would make for interesting photography. But. . . Please be aware of your surroundings, especially if carrying a tripod and/or backpack. Walkers are allowed but leave the Gemeinhardt carts at home, please.

I had fun, their frozen margarita was AMAZING!!!!! I got to know a bit more some members that told they will help me with mounting process for printing competition, Guys I got my print so please bring the tape or whatever you use to mount photos on boards.
I am so glad to be part of a group of creative outgoing people.
It is very interesting. This was the first time that I had been there. I enjoyed it not only because of the unique pictures that could be taken but also a couple of the newer members attended and I was able to get a chance at the end of the tour to sit down and get to know the newer members. I for one enjoyed it myself. Don’t know if I have any good pictures but that is ok also.
