Anheuser-Busch announces $30m investment in Jacksonville facility

Anheuser-Busch has announced a $30 million investment in its Jacksonville, FL Brewery and Can Plant, which will go toward upgrading brewing and packaging equipment to fuel increased production of Michelob Ultra beer.

This latest investment is part of Anheuser-Busch’s ongoing Brewing Futures initiative, through which the company invested more than $300 million in its US facilities in the last year to create and sustain US manufacturing jobs.

Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch, said: “Investing in our Jacksonville facilities enables us to brew more of the highest-quality American beers that consumers love, including Michelob Ultra… Investments like these are incredibly important because they help us to enhance our operations while also sustaining jobs and driving local economic growth in the communities where we operate.”  

Anheuser-Busch opened its Jacksonville Brewery in 1969 and its Metal Container Corporation (MCC) facility in 2016. The company has invested over $100 million in its Jacksonville facilities since 2021, part of the nearly $2 billion it has invested in its 100 US facilities over the past five years.
