Dive Insights:
In a press release, the company said that 99%of beer sold in the United States was made in the United States. If Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on countries such as Mexico are in effect, the domestic focus of Anhezer-Bush can give a bridge to competitors such as the Modelo owner Constellation brand, which can import most of the brewery.
Michael Doukeris CEO said last month that investors rely on the “mega brand” Michelob Ultra and Busch Light to increase sales for a lot of beer categories. The two brands have increased their sales in the most recent quarter, despite the broader consumer conversion in beer.
Last fall, the company announced $ 16 million in Los Angeles brewery to increase the capacity of RTD cocktails such as cut water. He also said he would spend $ 14 million to modernize Houston Brewery.
Since BUD Light Boycott ignited sales slumps in 2023, the company has tried to stabilize its operation and regain its market share. Anheuser-Busch also made a brewery by expanding the transaction with the player Pabst Blue Ribbon, which was established in early 2025, by turning it on ink to the beer category.
