The founder of Anhauser-Busch came here as a refugee and spent his life on welfare. So when did he start a beer company?

At our SB party we laughed that he must have lost the good German beer recipe jumping from the riverboat fire so came up with American Budweiser.

Out of curiosity about the history behind the ad, I read a little about Busch and discovered that he didn’t like beer, preferring wine, and always referred to Budweiser as “dot schlop.”
