This posting has photos of a neat old building with the name Anheuser Busch. The comments claim it is at 72nd and Kimbark, but I could not find that location. The comments also talk about "tied house," but I don't know what that means. (Update: I think it is a bar that promotes a particular brand of beer.) Another comment was of particular interest:
The building that Argus Brewing is operating out of was once a stable house for Anheuser-Busch beer wagon horses. The elevator was, before the addition of an electric winch, operated by cables pulled by a team of horses.
I was able to find
the former stable house. Getting pictures of the Kensinton Tower and Pullman National Monument just went up in priority on the field trip lists.
It was not Anheuser-Busch.
ReplyDeleteIt was Schlitz.
I have visited Argus Brwg. a few times, and taken photographs on those occasions.
Argus' beers are quite good. I recommend them to every one. Ted Furman, the owner of Golden Prairie Brwg. [R.I.P.], is now the master brewer at Argus.
