DMC St. Louis Goes Behind the Scenes at Anheuser-Busch

Jackson Seida — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Every month, each DMC office has a budget from the Activity Fund to plan a social outing. The St. Louis team recently decided to put the Activity Fund to use by visiting a local icon together. We raised a glass on a behind-the-scenes tour of Anheuser-Busch Brewery.

Anheuser-Busch offers several different tour experiences depending on your interests and time available. We selected the Beermaster Tour which offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Budweiser is brewed.

On the day of our tour, Dave Menne, Shannon Coupland, and I gathered at the famous brewery. We started our journey in the brewery’s visitor center excited to get access to exclusive locations on the campus. Then, we set off to learn about the King of Beers firsthand.

We had a great time walking through the beer brewing process from start to finish. As engineers, we were fascinated by the bottling line. It was fun to see the high-speed automation and precision of the process in action. Tasting beer right from the chilled finishing tank was definitely a highlight. Although we’ve all tried Budweiser before, it tastes even better straight from the source.

Another favorite moment of the tour was visiting the Budweiser Clydesdales. Not everyone can boast about a visit to the stables on their tour. The horses were just as majestic in person as they are on TV.

After the tour, we relaxed together with a meal at the brewery’s Biergarten restaurant. We laughed about our favorite parts of the tour and sampled a few more brews. It was a unique experience to see automation in action and get an all-access look at a local legend as a team.

Building Dreams: DMC Employees Combine Passion for LEGO, NASA BOLE Project, and Monthly Activity Fund

Gail Mayes — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 16:19:05 +0000

At DMC, our employees are not only dedicated to their professional projects but also bringing their personal passions into the workplace. One such example is how engineers have combined their love for LEGO, their work on the NASA BOLE (Booster Obsolescence and Life Extension), and the benefit of each office’s Monthly Activity Fund to create a unique and inspiring company culture.

The LEGO Enthusiasts

LEGO bricks are more than just toys; they are tools for creativity, problem-solving, and team building. Many DMC employees have been avid LEGO builders since childhood, and this passion has only grown in both the skill necessary to complete the project, and the price of the sets involved. The intricate designs and endless possibilities that LEGO offers align perfectly with the skills and temperament required for engineering and project management.

The NASA BOLE Project

Just like LEGO’s, many DMC employees have followed NASA’s space program since childhood and were thrilled to work with NASA. The NASA BOLE project is a critical initiative aimed at extending the life of the Space Launch System (SLS) boosters. This project requires cutting-edge engineering, meticulous planning, and innovative problem-solving. DMC employees working on BOLE are at the forefront of aerospace technology, ensuring that NASA’s missions continue to reach new heights. Learn more about DMC's work on the NASA BOLE project.

The Monthly Activity Fund

DMC’s monthly activity fund is designed to promote employee team building. Employees can use this fund to organize activities that bring them joy and foster connections with their colleagues. A few examples of Monthly Activity Nights include sports events, Top Golf games, and cooking classes. However, a perennial favorite of DMC employees is LEGO night!

Our LEGO enthusiasts have creatively utilized the monthly activity fund to support their passion. They have organized LEGO-building workshops, competitions, and even collaborative projects where employees work together to build large-scale models. These activities have not only been fun but have also strengthened teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

A Unique Synergy

The combination of LEGO building, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity funds for the St. Louis and Seattle offices have created a unique synergy at DMC. Employees are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, blending their personal interests with their professional responsibilities.

At DMC, we believe that fostering a culture where employees can pursue their passions alongside their professional goals leads to a more engaged, motivated, and innovative workforce. The combination of LEGO, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity fund is just one example of how we are building dreams, one day or brick at a time.

October Fun at DMC

DMC — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:10:55 +0000

To have fun is a core value at DMC. From our Activity Fund (a monthly budget dedicated to fun activities), to the ‘welcome parties’ thrown for each employee upon joining DMC or Yearly Office Events (YOEs), there’s always something fun going on at one of our offices.

Fall is finally here! The weather is cooler, and pumpkin spice is wafting in the air — but the fall chill doesn’t stop the fun at DMC! From the YOEzarks to office happy hours, here’s what we’ve been up to in October!

Good food, good company, a warm fire, and a scenic view. What else do you need?

Time for a spelunking adventure!

Taking a minute to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

DMC’s 25th Anniversary Celebrations

DMC — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 14:36:21 +0000

This year, DMC marked 25 years in business providing thousands of expert solutions to our clients. When the world began opening up again, it was time for us to celebrate! Learn how we recognized this milestone in our offices across the country.

We celebrated our silver anniversary with sweet treats and personalized steins sent to each of our offices.

Denver Office Party

This year's celebrations looked different for every DMC office. Some kept the party at home by throwing the event in the office. DMC Denver ordered catering to the office and had game night. They reminisced on "How Far We've Come" while toasting with beers and tasting whiskeys in true DMC Denver style.

Chicago Homecoming Celebration

In our headquarters located in Chicago, we decided to throw a Homecoming-themed anniversary party including a Spirit Week leading up to the party. We decorated the whole office with crepe paper streamers and balloons.

In true homecoming fashion, we had a place to take posed pictures, a punch bowl, and plenty of snacks. We even had some four-legged friends in attendance to make the night a little more fun. It was wonderful to see each other again and to meet our newest coworkers who joined the team during our time working from home.

Anniversary Dinners

Other offices decided to take the team out for a lovely dinner. DMC Boston celebrated at a Japanese tapas-style restaurant in Cambridge. After the delicious three-course meal, the team ended their night with a few rounds of pool at a nearby arcade.

Our Boston office (above) enjoyed an evening of arcade games following their dinner.

DMC St Louis went for a Tuscan flare to their fancy night out, while DMC New York found a speakeasy disguised behind a pawnshop entrance.

DMC New York (above) celebrated our 25th anniversary with a group dinner.

An Athletic Anniversary Party

Other teams hosted event outings to celebrate DMC's anniversary. Houston celebrated DMC's 25 years by marveling at the beauty and athleticism of acrobats at Cirque de Soleil.

Anniversary Olympics

Then there's DMC Seattle, who took party planning to a whole new level. DMC Seattle planned an entire evening of events with their Olympics-themed 25th Anniversary celebration!

Their events utilized a range of skills to showcase how diverse our DMC talent pool really is. There were the more typical events of pool or ping pong, but the more interesting events happened later on in the day. We might not know who can code the fastest in the office, but now we do know who can type the fastest, thanks to the typeracer competition.

The DMC Olympics gave a bit of a different flare to the game of hockey. Instead of a hockey stick, they used a pool cue. Instead of a puck, they used a taped wire spool. Instead of other hockey opponents, there were more wire spools. Ok, maybe this was less like hockey and more of a silly obstacle course, but it was very entertaining.

To test the team's face flexibility and dexterity, they had an Oreo eating competition that determined who was the fastest to get an Oreo from their forehead into their mouth without using their hands. Closing out the evening, no Olympics would be complete without an awards ceremony and presentation of metals.

We've had 25 years of expert solutions and look forward to many more. Thank you for being part of it!
