Anheuser-Busch is increasing its U.S. investment to $600 million over two years, expanding brewery capacity, worker training and veteran hiring as the beer giant leans further into domestic manufacturing.
“Anheuser-Busch is doubling down on investing in our U.S. operations because we see strong, long-term growth opportunities right here at home,” CEO Brendan Whitworth told Fox News Digital. “When we invest in our U.S. operations and expand training for our people and opportunities for our veterans, we strengthen communities and drive real economic prosperity.”
“This $600 million investment is about advancing American manufacturing, strengthening our supply chain, and creating lasting careers and a brighter future for U.S. workers,” Whitworth added.

The expansion will increase manufacturing capacity and invest in workforce development through 15 new training centers and veteran programs.
Anheuser-Busch will spend the $600 million over two years, from 2025 through 2026, focusing on brewery upgrades, technology and production capacity. This announcement expands upon a $300 million investment announced in 2025.
The company makes 99% of the beer it sells in the U.S. domestically, including Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser and Bud Light.
The initiative aims to upskill 90% of its manufacturing workforce over five years, training employees in digital systems, mechanical and electrical skills, and management systems.

“By strengthening our manufacturing operations, we are creating sustainable careers—not just jobs—and investing in the people who are vital to our success,” said Whitworth.
“We are proud to continue building the next generation of manufacturing leaders through our new technical training centers while also providing new opportunities in the workforce for our nation’s veterans,” he added.

The announcement follows the Trump administration’s push of “America First” policies creating incentives for companies and reshaping trade policy for domestic production.
“This is yet another example of the Trump effect. Thanks to President Trump’s unwavering commitment to rebuilding American industry, companies are investing in the United States, expanding manufacturing, creating good-paying jobs, and driving a new era of prosperity for the American people,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston told Fox News Digital.
In March, 15,000 new jobs were added in the manufacturing sector, according to the White House.
