[@norasteel5353]

Thank you for the tour, Eric. it was interesting and fun, as always! take care~

[@jacsmitth8040]

very interesting.....well done sir!

[@That.one.weirdo.]

Great video! I live about 40 miles north of St. Louis and have been to the brewery and arch a number of times. I thought the brewery sound was better than in person. Good job.

[@chuckergm]

Great tour and hearing trivia about products are what make this country what it is or was. Safe travels.

[@ABQSentinel]

As soon as the pod door opened, I took one look inside and was already getting claustrophobic!

[@richr8461]

I think you did a great job cleaning up the audio. Thx for taking me on the tour.

[@oldpokemonmaster]

Great video, audio was great! So glad Jax was out and about so that people can appreciate him. Thanks for suffering the heat to bring this video to us.

[@LadyMiriamVera]

Well, Eric, thank you for taking me with you to the arches. When those door close I was hyperventilating so someone would have had to get me out pronto! There is no way in heck I would go there ever!! Thank you for the view!!

[@Jolsen002]

the Miller tour in Milwaukee is free and comes with free beer. definitely worth your time.

[@gskMO]

Jolsen there is a free tour and free beer at the end of the STL Bud tour- he chose the $35 tour

[@reneallison2336]

My favorite video so far. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I don't even like beer, but I love factory tours.

[@salt669]

Eric, really enjoyed the Bud tour whilst the audio was not 100%, it did not detract from the video, many thanks.

[@rabiit1973306]

i would go nuts in a small place in that arch.keep those good vids coming eric.

[@garrettsalter8338]

Great video Eric. You don't give yourself enough credit. That's how i know you'll succeed. Keep on rolling. Later.

[@chriskozak4966]

Awesome vid Eric! Very educational Tour of The Budweiser Company. Glad that they allowed Jax inside the Pub. Keep up the good work.👏😎

[@acexprt]

You know I was gonna skip the brew tour for later but once it started I couldn't stop watching lol. Great footage!!

[@tbpc1]

I enjoyed the tour even though I don't drink. There's a Budweiser plant here in Buffalo New york

[@mtnbkr412]

Awesome video Eric. Outstanding.

[@VintageTexas59]

Great video, thanks for the Budweiser tour, very interesting. Audio was fine, no worries.

[@MrPetercooknh]

I honestly thank you for taking these tours for me... Now I can just stay on the outskirts without out all the work you put in. Great Job Eric... #travelchannel

[@JJ-sv9kh]

Looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing! Love that Jax.....

[@boatnutfilms]

Good one! I wanted to take that tour and you brought it to my living room. Thanks!

[@Resounded]

The Budweiser Tour was Awesome !!!!! Great Job Eric !!!!!

[@olddognewtricks4178]

as always great VIDEO and audio was great to thanks

[@wesallen4228]

Eric, the tour audio was fine. I could understand her and you. Great video. Blown away by the size, automation, and few workers.

[@TheSev-]

Keep in mind, the brewery wasn't in full operation due to maintenance. I'm sure under full production that place is packed with employees.

[@grandmasfavorites]

Thank you for all you do :) I have enjoyed so many of your videos.

[@RCKenpilot]

Great job with the video - audio is fine. That tour was very cool! Great job. Bud right out of the tank - awesome~!

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

great tour.

[@aelectriciansebastian4236]

This is what I'm talkin about!!! Great content. Really enjoyed this tour!!! Just awesome. Bring on more subscribers this way fur sure!!!! Way to go Eric & good job man!!!!

[@germanbini]

The video was awesome! You did just fine with the recording, you can't control sound every time. You did an excellent job of editing the clips. Thank you very much for sharing that with us. :)

[@saltnlightful]

Thanks for a fantastic tour and great video. I really enjoyed it all. Stay safe. Thanks again.

[@sueg2658]

Nice video! Now I'm thirsty for some Bud! Thanks for taking us along 😊

[@tiffanypetty8964]

Thank 4 the tour Eric. It was 👍 fine awesome just the way it is was.great tour .i enjoyed it .😂 happy trails and as always peace love and prosperity.

[@tumsfestival]

Really enjoyed the A-B tour. Have been on more than a few brewery tours in Milwaukee (Pabst, when they were still open, was an awesome tour, and also Miller) and this one was more detailed. Also, had no problems understanding the tour guide so audio was fine. Great job!

[@lindyworthington1651]

Thanks, Eric! I have always wanted to see the inside of the Budweiser Horse Facility! That tour was very educational! I am surprised about the protein content in the first beer....protein is good for us! I enjoyed this video very much, thanks for taking us along!

[@eddymahon1503]

Love your videos Eric. Can't get enough so how about a new one every day?😉😉Still rockin the stash. You look pretty energetic for 100 degree weather.

[@happyhighway106]

#102 Good Morning, Eric. A very fine video, indeed! Thanks for taking us with you on the famous Arch. Amazing! that you spent the time and cost of parking "Yoda" and walking the distance. Much Appreciated, too! And the Beer Tour was very nice, the audio was decent. You are a perfectionist---you want it best---and it was best, thanks.

[@ocho441]

Nothing is better than a fresh made bud lite.....

[@boulderdamcottage4926]

Hi Eric, oh no the audio was great and so was the video! Loved it Have never been! Nice! Keep up the great work! Thank you! :)

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

I enjoyed this. The tour was interesting and I think you did just fine. Living in Colorado I had several visits to the Coors plant tours and enjoyed that as well. I don't like Coors but it was interesting to see the process. Hot travels for you but have been following along and enjoying all so far. Safe travels...

[@scoserv]

good video eric,,,, they have changed the tour a lot since i have been,,,, I just wanted to let you know since you are doing Route 66, don't forget about the old Chain Of Rocks Bridge.. the old Mississippi river crossing for Route 66.. lots of history on that bridge.

[@asianpirate4061]

OMG!!! I just found all of the hater channels out there slamming Eric. I cannot believe people can be so vindictive and nasty. Hats off to you Eric for staying positive. Your true fans will never abandon you. I guess you know when you've made it big on KZbin when you end up getting trolls!!

[@kjosr1]

Nice Work Eric...

[@Duaine661]

Great video. I loved it and the audio was just fine I thought.

[@dominickbundy6429]

Very interesting and enjoyable video. Keep on rolling..

[@mechanicsteve2320]

Hello Eric my friend!! I enjoyed the video. I have been in the arch myself and I thought it was neat that it sways. My other family members that were with me found this to be terrifying lol. Any way I found it sad that with so much beer being made that automation has replaced so many human jobs. I encourage everyone to support small micro brewery's but not bad beer. There is something to be said about the human touch and pride when making good beer or moonshine for that matter. As always I wish you and Jax the best on your continued adventures and look forward to your next video.

[@santiagocarrillo6577]

Wow!! That is crazy high!!!!

[@thenicenick3758]

The audio came out great👍

[@1973mre]

This was a great episode.

[@BFerry10]

The audio was great. I was actually surprised that you could get audio that good on the tour. I'm still not sure how you did it but it worked.

[@dougcarlyle3811]

WOw, outstanding vid like always, never been to see what you did, I live 150 miles from there, and thank you thank you for sharing it, I would never be able to see it, I could not go into the Arch like you, hate to be in small areas... Kind of wish you went to Haniabl Mo, Mark Twain, i live 20 miles from there, Molly Brown is from there where she lived before the big ship Titanic sunk, great job brother... Doug

[@a1elvisfan]

great video, the audio was fine and finally maybe you need a uber and lift account, hindsight is 20 20 but man you could have toured the plant first , left the rig there and cought a uber to the arch and back for less than 25 dollars, oh well it looked like a lot of fun stay safe..

[@jimsteele7108]

Yeah, been there done that. There wasn't even parking available for my minivan when I was there. I had to drop my family off at the arch while I drove around. I was so pissed and glad to get out of that town.

[@sharontaylor8426]

Great job, thanks.

[@nancywolfe1983]

That was a great video Eric.

[@somchai9033]

St Louis is unsafe now day and night. If you escaped without being robbed or your vehicle broken into consider yourself fortunate. Now there are cops on foot patrol downtown around Washington but it has had only a minimal effect on crime. Great video by the way. I grew up a few blocks from the brewery, lot of nostalgia. Thanks

[@jsgaddis]

Audio was fine, tour was cool to watch.

[@thegoatman62]

awesome job on the Anheuser-Busch tour, I thought the audio was quite authentic just like if we were listening through the headphones (I mean that in a good way).

[@Steinerecliner]

Welcome to my city! 106 today. Yeah there is tricks that a little late to know now.

[@virginiawaggoner9150]

INTERESTING TOUR!!!

[@billyemartin2975]

ive been on the tram to the top of the arch. it was spooky. lol. also went to the budweiser plant when I was 14 and my dad let me taste a beer! lol

[@kerriegrant6293]

wow that was different, the place is huge, i could hear both of you fine, there were no problems.. Just wondered what you thought of the 1st little cup pf Bus !? was it good or awful? thanks Eric

[@judithneeley5229]

No problem with the audio, and I'm hard of hearing. Just saw a video of the 10 worst US cities, and St Louis came in 4th. Was worried a bit about leaving your rv behind, but glad it all worked out fine, if not expensive. What was with those others on tour wearing matching hats? Anyway, didn't realize you could actually go up in the arch. Thanks for the tours!

[@anthonypinkerton1809]

Eric you are one crazy mother; I'd never be able to do the tram then look out at the top of the Arch. My vertigo would making me sick!

[@KentuckyRanger]

@ 6:40 I don't know why, but this reminds me of entering the spaceship in the movie Gattaca... ;O)

[@KerryStoots]

We visited that while we were there to!

[@rickhoff3558]

some days are fubar. everyday in a big city is really fubar, especially in an rv.

[@Tomtuga]

The arch seemed a little claustrophobic Very interesting tour of Bud. Glad they let you film it. The sound was ok by me. So would they let you overnight at the brewery?

[@janicepeck4828]

I thought video is great. Thank you so much Eric. Very enjoyable Hummm,Upgrade. Bigger ac,? generator? Keep cool. Take a nap if possible.

[@billyemartin2975]

25 dollars! omg! that is ridiculous!

[@MrJest2]

Ordinary daily parking fee in San Francisco...

[@ThePollayrobert]

I stop at 3 minute to type this. This is gonna be a suspence video on weather your rv gets stolen or not, Good Luck in St Louis LOL

[@RussellParker]

one of your better vids... good job

[@igotbeatyo]

I was there a few weeks ago. Should have stopped at Ted Drewes!!

[@paulgreen2303]

Eric, as you wee walking out of the stadium parking lot there is a sign behind you that says daily parking is $3 and the $25 is for Stadium Events only. Oops! See for yourself around 3:52.

[@MaxZomboni]

Cool tour. Thanks for filming it. But what a rip off. If you get a chance you should go to the Coors Brewery in Golden Colorado. They will give you a free tour and free beer. No horses, but most people just want the beer anyway.

[@janethirakawa6114]

Excellent!!!!

[@thriftyveegee4129]

wow

[@anthonymarino4260]

nice vid thanks

[@InimitaPaul]

Dude, she was cute! You should have put the camera down and got chatting! (the gate girl)

[@biker_dudefastlane9339]

You should have toured East St. Louis will you where there Eric.

[@michaeljohnson1006]

Keep on rolling :-)

[@lucillehjort8110]

I did not know that people could ride to the top of the arch.

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

BACK to Washington ALREADY? Or did they move the Arch??? The NEW motorcycle is a nice touch - must be sweet to have that much disposable income! I think I need a stroller for my turtle.... hmmmmm Dude you MADE a life out of it - kick it!

[@aHigherPower]

No concrete jungles for me. lol

[@thehyperactivesloth]

i love the explanation of just why Bud Light is the worse beer ever made, BUD HEAVY 4 LIFE!!!!

[@claireclaire7504]

thehyperactivesloth : Ya, wood chips in the bottom is a clue.

[@claireclaire7504]

thehyperactivesloth : Silica gel to make it clean and clear: yummy! Beer filtered with sand gel! Doesn't that sound good? NOT!

[@richardhainey8949]

Try grinding the heads when you tere it down

[@micastang1980]

how did that chip beer taste. if it tastes good they should sell it

[@lanksterprice]

YA DID GOOD MAN!! Now I can save $35 bucks and skip it and just buy some buds....

[@lowboi6968]

Tick tock

[@raymondcaylor6292]

InBev tour

[@sergkaizen5342]

Tour was great! Tour guide was gorgeous. Tack room was incredible. Nice of them to allow JAX inside. Best video this summer

[@troyj3390]

appreciate your hard work and sweat to bring us this excellent video... keep pumping them out Eric

[@guyazbell8169]

I,ve got a strange urge to watch Laverne&Shirley for some reason.

[@caninetherapyinc9031]

Thanks for doing this. There is NO WAY I would ever, ever, ever bother to go to all that trouble to see that. But thanks to you, Eric, I kind of know what it is like.

[@lindalowney1404]

I thought the audio was fine, I could hear everything she was saying.

[@everythingyouknowis]

Good video. For those wondering about parking, there's a casino right across from the arch on the opposite side of the river called the Casino Queen. They allow RV / oversized vehicle parking at no cost, and there's a walkway on the bridge to cross the river. They also have a RV park, however we opted to spend a night here in just the parking area. Has a good time, and their buffet was good too.

[@MummyandClyde]

Great job I thought. The sound was great. Excited to see what upgrade you will be doing to the RV. Have a great day and be careful.

[@ksfixitmangaming617]

Hey, Eric. Long time sub. Loved the video. It's fun to watch when you're in an area near me. In fact, when you were in Kansas and went north on 69 highway you were 2 miles from my house and you also boondocked just south of me. The Budweiser part of the video was awesome. Honestly, the audio was great. You did a great job. I'm really glad you're making this video series. It's fun being along for the ride. Thanks for all the work you put into making these videos.

[@MattGrossChannel]

KSFixitman, St. Louis rocks. When I was a boy, my family living in Bel-Nor. I miss Missouri!

[@deborahgallagher6485]

Eric, thank you for doing this Tour I would not be able to take the Heat!! Then going to cold!! I love Jax, has he been a kamping Kitty since a baby?

[@busog97641]

KSfixitman, I couldn't agree with you more... well, except for the bit about him being close to where I live. :') The audio was quite good, considering he wouldn't know what type of equipment they would use.

[@55bkcherub]

Well said KSfixitman , loved it too very interesting :)

[@357buick]

Thank you for doing videos like this. Due to health problems (bad leg) there is a lot of things I wouldn't get to see if it wasn't for you.Very much appreciated.

[@robertj3600]

Great vid Eric. Dont get down on yourself so much. We always look forward to your vids and Ive always wanted to visit both places and havent yet. (eventhough I lived in Springfield at one point.) Your video of the Budweiser Brewery was good enough that I can save myself the fee and big crowds. (although a fresh Bud does sound good.)

[@joshaharding7182]

Robert J I have to agree with Robert about doing your self bro great video

[@tdelbruegge]

he really does a fantastic job! even in less than ideal circumstances!
