The roll-out includes activities in some places consumers may not expect to experience MGD 64 such as spas and health clubs, as well as some additional activities that consumers will discover throughout the beginning weeks in March.

For the past three years, Anheuser-Busch brewmasters have brewed special batches of beer crafted to complement the changing seasons. Sun Dog Amber Wheat is stepping up to fill the shoes of the very popular Spring Heat Spiced Wheat, which has graduated to a year-round offering known now as Shock Top Belgian White. Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale, Winter’s Bourbon Cask Ale and Beach Bum Blonde Ale will continue to be available during their respective seasons. Sun Dog is an unfiltered beer, with a naturally cloudy appearance and fuller texture which allows it to stand up to spicy foods like Thai noodle salads and Cuban sandwiches. Sun Dog is brewed at Anheuser-Busch’s Fort Collins, Colo., brewery and contains 5.3 percent alcohol by volume. For more information, call (314)577-9629.
