Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser, and Bud Light, has announced a new $8 million investment in its St. Louis brewery. Over the last five years, Anheuser-Busch has invested nearly $2 billion in its facilities across the US.
Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch, said: “At Anheuser-Busch, we’ve built a legacy of brewing great beer and showing up in our local communities – that’s who we are.
“Our continued investments in our St. Louis brewery benefit not only our local team, but also our hometown, which continues to be a core part of our identity after more than 165 years.
“This brewery is as iconic as the beer we brew, and these investments help ensure that we not only have the infrastructure but also the people and talent to build on our legacy for generations to come.”
Since 2019, the brewer has invested more than $165 million in its St. Louis campus alone, including renovating and reopening its Technical Excellence Center, which allows its workforce to grow in their careers and access new opportunities in their desired manufacturing fields.
Kyle Topping, Senior General Manager of the Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery, emphasized the significance of this investment: “Our St. Louis brewery serves as an iconic landmark to those of us who call St. Louis home and it proudly stands as our flagship brewery and a symbol of Anheuser-Busch.
“These continued investments are vital for ensuring we can carry our legacy forward for future generations, while giving back to the town that has already given us so much.”
