Anheuser-Busch is America’s leading brewer, and we are proud to reinvest our success in our American roots. We’re proud to have one of the largest capital investment programs in U.S. history through our investments of $500 million in 2017 and $2 billion through 2020.
“We are focusing on investments which empower our employees to do what they do best – brewing the best beer,” said Dave Taylor, Vice President of Supply for Anheuser-Busch. “Ninety-eight percent of the beer we sell in America is proudly made here at our breweries using the highest quality ingredients.”
This next phase in our investments, which will total $4.5 billion from 2011 to 2020, will grow Anheuser-Busch’s operations, foster innovative collaborations, promote our local and state economic growth, and directly support more than 18,000 American jobs.
