Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) traces its roots to the Bavarian Brewery founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1852, which would eventually grow into Anheuser-Busch, one of America's most iconic brewing companies. The modern conglomerate took shape in 2008 when Belgian-Brazilian brewing giant InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch, forming AB InBev and creating what is today the largest brewery group in the world. The company is headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, and is listed on both Euronext (ABI) and the NYSE (BUD). AB InBev oversees a vast global portfolio of more than 500 beer brands spanning a wide range of styles, from mainstream lagers to craft and specialty beers. The company's flagship brand is Budweiser, complemented by household names such as Bud Light and Bud Ice. Through a series of major acquisitions — including Grupo Modelo of Mexico in 2013 and Craft Brew Alliance in 2020 — AB InBev has steadily expanded its reach across both mass-market and craft beer segments worldwide. As the undisputed global leader in beer, AB InBev operates breweries across dozens of countries and serves consumers on every continent. The company has pioneered innovations in brewing logistics dating back to refrigerated rail cars in the 19th century, and continues to invest heavily in its brewing infrastructure, committing 600 million dollars to American brewery upgrades in recent years.
