For more than 165 years, Anheuser-Busch has been proudly connected and committed to American farmers, many of whom we have worked with for generations. Each year, we spend more than $700 million sourcing nearly all of the high-quality ingredients in our iconic American beers from farmers across the United States.

Anheuser-Busch became the first company ever to achieve and bring U.S. Farmed certified brands to shelves across the country, starting with our leading-industry Busch Light, Busch, Budweiser, Bud Light, and Michelob ULTRA beers. This certification indicates that at least 95% of agricultural ingredients are grown by farmers in the United States. The certification makes it easier than ever for consumers to identify and shop for products that benefit American farmers, and we are proud to encourage consumers to “Choose Beer Grown Here” in support of U.S. agriculture.

Anheuser-Busch remains unwavering in our advocacy for responsible drinking and making every experience with beer a positive one. Our first responsible drinking message, “Budweiser Means Moderation,” dates back more than 100 years, and our first major responsible drinking campaign, “Know When To Say When,” launched over 35 years ago.

Anheuser-Busch and our wholesaler partners have invested more than $1 billion in responsible drinking initiatives and community-based programs like Decide to Ride, We I.D., and Budweiser Drink Wiser, and Add a Zero to prevent impaired driving, underage drinking, other harmful uses of alcohol, and encourage moderation.

Anheuser-Busch has a long-standing commitment to supporting our neighbors during times of need—dating back to 1906 when Adolphus Busch first supported the relief efforts of the Red Cross. Today, we continue this commitment by periodically pausing beer production in our Fort Collins, CO, and Cartersville, GA breweries to apply our production and logistics expertise to can clean, safe drinking water that is ready to distribute when disaster strikes.

From the production capabilities in our breweries to our expansive network of wholesaler partners and collective logistics expertise, our emergency drinking water program is built on a foundation of preparedness. Rather than waiting for disaster to strike, we prepare throughout the year, leveraging our core capabilities for good to ensure we always stand ready to help support those in need.

Anheuser-Busch has been dedicated to serving those who serve for more than 150 years and more than 1,800 of our Anheuser-Busch colleagues are active service members and veterans. Anheuser-Busch is a founding partner of Folds of Honor and over the last 15 years we have donated over $33 million along with our brands and wholesaler partners, which has in turn funded over 6,600 scholarships for Folds of Honor recipients.

Our longstanding support has included partnerships with Honor Flight Network, National Medal of Honor Museum, and Tunnel to Towers’ annual 5k Run & Walk event in NYC.

Anheuser-Busch’s Brewing Futures initiative builds on more than 165 years of continuous investment in our people, breweries, and communities to strengthen American manufacturing and create lasting economic opportunity. Through this initiative, Anheuser-Busch is investing $600 million in its U.S. operations over two years to help create and sustain manufacturing jobs across the country.

We are also building the manufacturing workforce of the future by opening 15 new technical skills training centers at brewery facilities nationwide and partnering with technical trade schools to expand access to hands-on training and career development. In addition, Brewing Futures strengthens career pathways for veterans by helping current and former service members pursue manufacturing careers in the private sector.
