UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (Dec. 18, 2025)—Bob Hall Beverage Company, a 92-year-old family-owned beer and beverage distributor serving Calvert, Charles and Prince George’s counties, proudly helped bring the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales to two Southern Maryland holiday parades this season—marking a historic first appearance at the Calvert County Christmas Parade in Prince Frederick and the much anticipated return of the Budweiser Clydesdales Parade through North Beach.
Both events drew huge crowds of families and neighbors who lined the streets to celebrate the holiday season, welcome the iconic horses and recognize local military and first responder families through Bob Hall Beverage Company’s continued support of Folds of Honor.
“For more than 90 years, our communities have supported Bob Hall Beverage Company, and we never take that for granted,” said Dan Hoose, General Manager of Bob Hall Beverage Company. “Bringing the Budweiser Clydesdales to the Calvert County Christmas Parade for the first time and back to North Beach allowed us to celebrate with our neighbors, thank our communities and honor the military and first responder families who sacrifice so much for our safety.”
The Calvert County Christmas Parade in Prince Frederick marked a milestone this year with the Budweiser Clydesdales’ inaugural appearance.
“Welcoming the majestic Budweiser Clydesdales to our parade was a highlight for our community,” said Commissioner President Todd Ireland. “Their presence added a new level of excitement to the beloved local tradition, and we’re grateful to Bob Hall Beverage Company for helping make this moment possible.”
Just a few days later, the Budweiser Clydesdales brought a sense of magic to North Beach, turning an ordinary winter evening into a shared celebration as families and neighbors lined the streets and gathered along the waterfront.
“The enthusiasm overflows when the Budweiser Clydesdales trot into North Beach,” said Mayor of North Beach Mike Benton. “Their appearance brings incredible holiday spirit, and it’s extra meaningful to pair this celebration with support for Folds of Honor. As a Marine Corps veteran, honoring the families of those who have served and sacrificed hits close to home for many in our community and we’re proud to shine a spotlight on their important work. We’re grateful to Bob Hall Beverage Company for helping create a moment that brought joy, connection and lasting memories to our town.”
Honoring Folds of Honor Scholarship Recipient
As part of the North Beach celebration, Bob Hall Beverage Company recognized local Folds of Honor scholarship recipient Jaiden Chambers, honoring the service and sacrifice of her father, retired US Air Force Master Sgt. Ernest Berlin Chambers, Jr. The company proudly supports the Folds of Honor mission, which provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders, and contributed $20,000to the organization this year, marking its fifth consecutive year of giving.
A Tradition Nearly a Century in the Making
The Budweiser Clydesdales have been part of American tradition since 1933, when August A. Busch Jr. and Adolphus Busch III surprised their father with a six-horse Clydesdale hitch to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition. Today, three traveling hitches—each with 10 horses, the iconic red, white and gold beer wagon, professional drivers and a Dalmatian mascot—bring smiles and joy to communities across the country.
Through these appearances in Calvert County and North Beach, Bob Hall Beverage Company continues its long-standing commitment to honor those who serve and celebrate with the Southern Maryland community it has called home for 92 years.
