Historical Context
Anheuser-Busch is the world's third largest brewing company in volume after InBev and SABMiller. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, the company brews 35 different beers and malt liquors. Anheuser-Busch's best known beers include brands such as Budweiser, the Busch and Michelob families, and Natural Light. The company also produces a number of smaller-volume and specialty beers, nonalcoholic brews, malt liquors (King Cobra and the Hurricane family), and flavored malt beverages (the Bacardi family and Tequiza). "A-B", as the company is often called, owns 12 U.S. breweries. Some important dates in the history of A-B include:
