Last updated: 21/08/2026 at 4:19 PM 21 August 2026 'Anheuser-Busch is committed to supporting the communities where our employees live and work.' AB InBev has linked the performances of Michelob Ultra and Cutwater Spirits to the selection of a facility in New York as the latest to benefit from its US-wide investment programme. A total of US$13m will be spent on upping capacity at Anheuser-Busch's Baldwinsville Brewery in the north-eastern state. The US division of the brewing giant said the money will help to increase production of Michelob Ultra, which it claimed is "the number one top-selling and fastest-growing beer in America", while the brand's bottling and canning lines will also be upgraded. "New production capabilities for Cutwater," meanwhile, will "help meet rapidly growing demand for the number one spirits-based cocktail brand in the US," the unit added. Anheuser-Busch cited data from Circana as its source for the performance claims made for the two brands. Today's announcement is the latest regarding the unit's 'Brewing Futures' funding stream. The initiative started with a $300m outlay in May last year, with the total being doubled to $600m 11 months later. Similar to June's pledge of $20m for its facility in Missouri, Anheuser-Busch confirmed the creation of a new technical skills training centre at Baldwinsville that is designed to "upskill employees across mechanical, electrical, digital and operational areas". Fifteen such training centres are intended across the division's nationwide estate. In results from the second quarter of this year, announced by AB InBev at the end of last month, sales in the 'North America' reporting region were up by 2.6% on the corresponding three-month period a year earlier. The performance contributed to a +5.6% top-line showing for the group in Q2.
Anheuser-Busch plans $13 million investment at Baldwinsville brewery. Anheuser-Busch will invest $13 million in its Baldwinsville brewery to meet consumer demand and support local manufacturing, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Thursday. The company plans to use the investment for worker training and job creation at the Onondaga County plant, which Hochul described as New York's largest brewery and a source of employment for hundreds of people. New York Grants Hochul said the new training will focus on technical skills and support the company's next generation of workers. She credited Anheuser-Busch with maintaining a long-term presence in Central New York and investing in the region's workforce for more than 40 years. The governor also highlighted previous environmental work at the facility, including solar arrays and a transition from natural gas to electric power. New York provided $1 million for an earlier electrification project, according to Hochul's remarks. The announcement comes as state officials promote a broader manufacturing expansion in Central New York, including Micron's semiconductor project. Hochul said the region will need additional housing and infrastructure to support projected job growth. Anheuser-Busch's Baldwinsville plant also produced a limited beer last winter using snow collected from Highmark Stadium after a major storm, an effort Hochul cited as an example of the brewery's connection to New York.
