BUDWEISER AND WESTERN WYOMING BEVERAGES CELEBRATE TRONA INDUSTRY DURING CLYDESDALE VISIT
Offer Free 12-Pack of Budweiser to All Trona Mine Employees
ROCK SPRINGS- In conjunction with the World-Famous Budweiser Clydesdales 2024 visit to Sweetwater County, Western Wyoming Beverages and Budweiser will host a free, open to the public event called “Cheers to Trona” and offer all trona mine employees 21 years of age and older a free 12-pack of Budweiser glass bottles, to enjoy the ‘fruits of their labor.’
Celebrating Trona and Its Miners
Budweiser and Western Wyoming Beverages are proud to celebrate a longstanding tradition that connects our iconic brands with the heart of Wyoming’s mining industry. Every bottle of domestically produced Anheuser-Busch product like Budweiser, Bud Light, Busch Light, and Michelob Ultra, have been forged using Wyoming Trona.
Wyoming Trona, a key ingredient in the production of glass bottles, plays a crucial role in ensuring the durability and clarity of every Anheuser-Busch bottle. This natural mineral, extracted from the rich deposits in Wyoming, is transformed through a meticulous process that upholds the highest standards of quality. The Clydesdale event is an opportunity to thank the thousands of miners whose hard work makes each Budweiser bottle possible. Their dedication ensures the production of high-quality glass that is an integral part of Budweiser's packaging and brand. The dedication of Wyoming's trona miners is integral to the supply chain that brings a refreshing bottle of Budweiser to consumers worldwide.
Cheers to Trona
Budweiser and Western Wyoming Beverages will host a “Cheers to Trona” event at the Green River Chamber of Commerce on Friday, July 5th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales. The event will honor our local trona mines, the very mines that make a bottle of Budweiser possible with a ceremonial case presentation for representatives from Genesis Alkali, Sisecam, Solvay, Tata, Project West, Pacific Soda and the Wyoming Mining Association.
The event is free and open to the public. Trona miners and their families are encouraged to attend. Free samples of Budweiser products will be available as well as free hamburgers and hot dogs from the Hitching Post. The event will give the public the opportunity to see the Budweiser Clydesdales up close and get pictures near the Clydesdales.

About the Clydesdales
The Clydesdales have been a symbol of quality and tradition for Anheuser-Busch since 1933. Its appearance in Sweetwater County is one of hundreds made annually by the traveling team.
Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to the U.S. in the mid-1800s. Today the giant draft horses are used primarily for breeding and show. A single Clydesdale hitch horse will consume as much as 20 to 25 quarts of feed, 40 to 50 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water per day.
Horses chosen for the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch must be at least three years of age, stand approximately 18 hands—or six feet—at the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, must be bay in color, have four white legs, a blaze of white on the face, and a black mane and tail. A gentle temperament is also very important, as hitch horses meet millions of people each year.
Each hitch travels with a Dalmatian. In the early days of brewing, Dalmatians were bred and trained to protect the horses and guard the wagon when the driver went inside to make deliveries.
