The sound of hoofs clopping filled the Fort Worth Stockyards on Friday as the Budweiser Clydesdales strolled down East Exchange Avenue delivering beer as part of the MLB All-Star Week events.

The beer company is the MLB’s longest-tenured sponsor, and the Stockyards will host the MLB Draft on Sunday in Cowtown Coliseum.

The Clydesdale’s strolled down the brick streets handing cases of beer to pedestrians and showing off the large, majestic horses. All together, the wagon and the horses weigh in around 12 tons.
