For your consideration is this 1992 framed Anheuser-Busch mirrored advertisement sign. In St. Louis, Missouri, Anheuser-Busch, an American brewing corporation, was established. Adolphus Busch, a German immigrant, and his father-in-law Eberhard Anheuser founded the business. At first, the company manufactured a range of beers, including Budweiser, its signature lager. Yet, the company didn't fully take off until the late 1800s. This was partly because the brewery was able to send its beer throughout the nation without it spoiling due to the development of refrigerated rail carriages. Anheuser-Busch rose to prominence as one of the world's major breweries in the early 1900s. By creating non-alcoholic beverages and other goods like ice cream and malt syrup, the company was able to survive Prohibition. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, Anheuser-Busch resumed its beer production and continued to grow. The Belgian-Brazilian brewing business InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch in 2008, creating the largest brewing corporation in the world at the time. Budweiser, Bud Lite, Michelob Ultra, and Stella Artois are just a few of the many beers that are produced by the firm, currently known as Anheuser-Busch InBev. This wall mirror has a border with a hop motif and an image of a young woman holding up a large bottle of beer that is a color copy of an old Budweiser advertisement set in the center. At the top corners of the main image, there is writing that says "Anheuser-Busch," "Brewing Ass'n," and "St. Louis, MO," with the slogan "King of Beers" underneath. On the back of the sign is a metal wire for hanging the sign. The piece shows good condition with no signs of obvious damage or wear to the frame or sign itself. The sign measures 25 1/2" L x 19 1/4" W.
