Why do we have beer distributors?
After the repeal of prohibition, the United States implemented the three-tier system of alcohol distribution. The tiers are producers (Anheuser-Busch InBev), distributors (AALCO) and retailers (grocery/package stores/bars and restaurants). The structure of the system is that producers can sell their products only to wholesale distributors who then sell to the retailers and the retailers can only sell to the consumers. Some states chose to become alcoholic beverage control states but Indiana is not one of them.
Do the kegs of Guinness we have in our warehouse, and sell to retailers, come all the way from Dublin, Ireland?

What's the story behind the Clydesdales?
On April 7, 1933, August A. Busch, Jr. and Adolphus Busch III surprised their father, August A. Busch, Sr., with the gift of a six-horse Clydesdale hitch to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition. Then on March 30, 1950, in commemoration of the opening of the Newark Brewery, a Dalmatian was introduced as the Budweiser Clydesdales’ mascot. Now, a Dalmatian travels with each of the Clydesdale hitches. Today, Anheuser-Busch owns approximately 250 Clydesdales; they continue to be an enduring symbol of the brewer’s heritage, tradition and commitment to quality.
