AnheuserBusch

Anheuser-Busch is an American brewing company founded in 1852 in St. Louis by Eberhard Anheuser and later joined by Adolphus Busch. The company grew from a regional brewery into one of the largest in the United States. In 1876, the Budweiser beer brand was introduced and became one of the company's flagship products. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Anheuser-Busch expanded its operations and marketing, including a wide distribution network and notable advertising campaigns. The company was affected by Prohibition (1920–1933), during which beer production halted, but it resumed after repeal and continued growth in the post-Prohibition era.

In 2008, Anheuser-Busch merged with InBev to form Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), a multinational brewing company. AB InBev later acquired SABMiller in 2016, further consolidating the global beer market. Anheuser-Busch continues as a U.S. subsidiary of AB InBev, with its U.S. headquarters in St. Louis, while AB InBev maintains its corporate headquarters in Leuven, Belgium.

The company's brand portfolio includes Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Busch, Stella Artois, and other brands, distributed across North America and globally through a network of regional breweries and distributors. Anheuser-Busch operates within AB InBev’s global structure and participates in AB InBev’s extensive portfolio and supply chain, contributing to the company’s position as one of the world’s largest brewers by volume.
