After a fast-talking Pabst guide led the spies past the plant's mixing kettles of hops and malt, Norwood caustically observed: "It destroys the potency of God-given foods." When the guide meekly suggested that beer actually was 90% water, Norwood obviously saw this only as "a trick of Satan to delude the public." In the noisy bottling house, as the cans and bottles rattled and banged through a maze of conveyor belts, a Baptist voice was heard above the din: "This canning process shows the genius of man to produce a product, and the cleverness of Satan...

North Carolinians snapped up the first consignment."Man," said one satisfied customer last week, "that's just like I was raised...

Anheuser-Busch turned from beer to a variety of other products: yeast, refrigeration cabinets, bus and truck bodies, corn and malt syrup, and a variety of soft drinks, including a chocolate soft drink named Carcho. The losses were staggering. Nevertheless, the company stayed in business. Young Gussie used the time to climb through the ranks. By 1924 he was brewery superintendent; in 1926 he was named general manager and sixth vice president; eight years later, when Prohibition was finally repealed...
