Anheuser-Busch announced that it is increasing its investment in its Cartersville brewery from 85 million to 150 million US-Dollars. The investment, which was originally announced in January, will support new brewing capabilities, the creation of a new can line, and is aimed to generate new efficiencies in the brewing process as the company continues to lead in meeting evolving consumer demand.

The Cartersville brewery employs more than 500 people and contributes more than 400 million US-Dollars annually to Georgia’s economy. Opened in 1993, the Cartersville brewery produces more than 20 Anheuser-Busch beer brands and is the original producer of emergency drinking water for the company’s disaster relief program — with the brewery team starring in Budweiser’s 2018 Super Bowl Commercial highlighting the program. Cartersville was also the first Anheuser-Busch brewery to be certified organic by USDA in order to brew and package Michelob Ultra Pure Gold.
