History- (from Wikipedia) (from Wikipedia) German Adolphus Busch settled in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1857 where he eventually established his own brewing supply house. In St. Louis, Busch married Lilly Anheuser whose father, Eberhard Anheuser, owned a small brewery. In 1864, Busch partnered with his father in-law to form what eventually became the Anheuser-Busch Company. In the 1870s, Anheuser-Busch became the first American brewery to implement pasteurization, which greatly improved the shelf-life and transportability of its beers. Busch encountered lighter lager beers during his travels and began brewing a light Bohemian lager under the brand name Budweiser.
