Chances are that when you’re adding green food coloring to the beer for your big St. Patrick’s Day bash this weekend, it will be an Anheuser-Busch product you’ll choose. The company operates 13 breweries and has been the largest brewer in the United States since 1957.

The company name, Anheuser-Busch and its brands have been known around the world long before our time, but it’s interesting to know how it became an industry giant when so many breweries failed during Prohibition and the Depression. The second generation Anheuser’s daughter married a Busch son who had started his own small brewery. Young Busch went to work for his father-in-law and eventually bought into half the company, therefore, the name Anheuser-Busch. Even more interesting and unusual, is that a son from each future generation of Buschs not only took over and grew the business, but came up with continuous new innovations to boost sales.

According to the company, Anheuser-Busch survived the Depression by diversifying into more than 25 different non-alcohol products such as soft drinks, trucking and ice cream. They prepared ahead for Prohibition by producing the non-alcoholic Bevo, a cereal based beverage, in 1916. After Prohibition ended in 1933, Anheuser-Busch went right back to the beer biz hitting the 2 million barrel production mark in 1938. That was also when Adolphus Busch III built his beautiful Mediterranean-style Manga Reva estate on the Ft. Lauderdale Intracoastal Waterway.

Adolphus picked the perfect spot to build his winter vacation home. Ft. Lauderdale, the Boating Capital of the World, has other world class features such as a stunning wide beach and the wonderful commercial mile of Las Olas Boulevard. The magnificent 12,533 square foot Manga Reva is just off the Boulevard and on an end lot jutting out into the Intracoastal. Designed by Addison Mizner protege Francis Abreu, it has 6 bedrooms, 11 baths, a 2 bedroom guest house, 60’ lap pool, 130’ dock and 525’ of waterfront. So exquisite, the house even had a bit part in the 1960 film Where the Boys Are that launched the "Spring Break" party for generations of college students.

Anheuser-Busch estate in one of the best locations in Florida. Priced at $15 million.
