Giant Beer Can

Yes, the owner of the silo is the owner of the local distributor. How many of you remember the '80s Budweiser commercial where the camera flew over the silo being painted like a Bud? This is the very same silo from that commercial.

Giant Beer Can

There is a silo in a large field next to a barn that's painted like a Budweiser can. I don't really know if you can just walk right up to it because it's on private property. I live in Fort Smith -- the directions people give around here to Lavaca is "Go east on Rogers Avenue, through Barling, then turn left at the beer can." If we didn't have that beer can, I'm sure some people would forget how to get to Lavaca.

Giant Beer Can

Farm silo painted to look like giant Budweiser Can. I haven't been able to contact the owner yet to get the story on his silo, but was told by a nearby Black Angus farmer/rancher that in addition to raising prize Angus, he's also the local (Fort Smith?) Anheiser-Busch distributor.
