| Sros ST. Louis Sunday Mirror, DISC Q.
An editorial in the Sunday Mirror Of last
week ca the subject Of Beer Culture" at
tracted . great deal Of Attentisn by reason Of
the statement made therein that there are SUI
/ perior aad inferior articles Of beer selling to
consumers at the same price per glass. There
was ne intention In the article to do any injury
TO any brewery interest. but to inform the
reader that be should Insist on having the best
beer for his money and not accept the inferior.
Superior beer Is made of barley malt Bar
ley malt is expensive, and the beer made from
it is made by superior processes The common
beer is made of corn and barley malt. In about
equal proportions, but the barley malt is not
necessarily of fine quality and it is brewed
| cheaply,
| Mr.. August A. Busch of the Anheuser-Bu
Brewing Association. speaking on the subject
of superior and inferior BEERS said to a repre-
sentative of the Sunday Mirror yesterday;
81 have no desire to say anything for or
against beer manufactured by other brewers.
Your paper is adopting the right course, how
ever, in endeavoring to educate the people on
the subject Of superior and inferior beers But
| as far as the Anheuser Busch brewery is con-
| cerned we are out of competition"
ibid you use corn in the brewing Of the An
henser- Busch beersf"
Corn, or corn Preparations used by so many
breweries. never enter the gates Of the An
heuser- Busch Brewing Association. The secret
of the success of our beer is due 10 the fact that
we use nothing but the nss s malt and the
mature before II enters into consumption,
Hence our beer ts not only the best and the
healthisst beverage. but also the highest-prfced
beer offer to the public. Beer made Of corn and
OF corn preparations is naturally cheap, and the
quality Is cheap accordingly
How is the public 70 know which Is the pure
beer and which Ia mott"
Il do not care to say anything about any other
beer than that OF the Anheuser- Busch Brewing
Association. 1 simply say that we use only
| the best barley malt and the choicest Of every
thing. The motto OF the AnheuseF- Busch Brew
| ing Association is: The best is not too good
Beer made from barley malt is, OF course,
| more nutritious add wholesome than that made
| from corn and corn preparations.
III yeu want to know what is good beer aud
| what Is not you have only to ask which beer
| costs the dealer the most and which
costs the least. The association Of which am
| vice president has made it a study to produce
| the purest and finest beer that can be made,
and We have established reputation which
| shows thatws have succeeded. You will never
foreign countries tue raost serious rival TO the
| celebrated Bass als Of England. It has nearly
| excluded 1t from the United States. Every man
who keeps q table of which he is proudfee that
beer. This is one Of our highest ob1ects-to
make the Anheuser Rusch beer the table drink
/ Of the world"
| There is ne desire TO raise an agitation on the
question Of beer adulteration, and It is not In
/ tended to be inferred that beers not made from
l barley malt are adulterated. The point made
/ is that they are cheap and OF lower grade than
| the other. So little is known by beer con-
i suDers Of what they are given in beer TO drink
that the time for popular education as to the
1 ingredients Of various beers has arrived. AS the
| best beer can be bought at the same price per
| glass as the purest beer, the consumer should
know which is the highest grade. The effort to
make money out of the manufacture OF beer
! by those who are not concerned in establishing
! . reputation or producing an article of beer
! concededly fine, or in the cultivation Of q per
| feet beer, should be looked on with suspicion by
the beer consumer, who has the right to demand
! OF all brewers beer as good as the best.
Beer-driIking people should know that corn
| beer is cheap and inferior article and tibet
barley mals Beer Is fine, wholesome and higher
| priced.
