• Budweiser Dalmatian History

  The dalmatian atop of Anheuser-Busch's beer wagon has become an iconic staple to the brand. Alongside from the Clydesdale horses, the dalmatian remains a fixture in public events and advertisements. Though the horse team was introduced in the 1930s, the dalmatian made its first introduction in the 1950s. Historically, the dalmatians were often used to be a watchdog over the beer wagon while making deliveries.
