Anheuser-Busch revealed an $8 investment in its St. Louis Brewery. The company has invested almost $2 billion in its facilities across the United States over the past five years with the goal of creating and sustaining jobs, while driving economic prosperity in the communities where it operates.

“At Anheuser-Busch, we’ve built a legacy of brewing great beer and showing up in our local communities — that’s who we are,” said Brendan Whitworth, CEO, in a statement. “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.”

The company says it is dedicated to investing in its facilities to fuel economic growth in St. Louis and beyond. The brewery has invested more than $165 million in its St. Louis campus alone since 2019. This includes the renovation and reopening of its Technical Excellence Center, which allows its workforce to grow in their careers and access new opportunities in their desired manufacturing fields. Since its reopening, the center has served 1,500 frontline workers from Anheuser-Busch facilities across the country.

“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,” said Kyle Topping, senior general manager of the brewery, in a statement. “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.”

Anheuser-Busch also has committed nearly $1 million this year to drive economic impact in the broader St. Louis community, investing in skills training, entrepreneurship, higher education and more. The brewer’s Anheuser-Busch Foundation donates to local community organizations in St. Louis, helping to promote economic opportunity in its hometown beyond brewery walls.

“For well over a century, Anheuser-Busch’s presences has been an essential piece of the foundation of our local community and economy,” said Steven Roberts, Missouri State Senator (5^th District), in a statement. “I am grateful for their ongoing presence and investments in St. Louis, which reinforce their commitment to bolstering our local workforce, while also making the entire St. Louis region stronger.”
