A-B to Invest $21M in Calif. Facilities

Anheuser-Busch announced a $21 million investment in its Los Angeles and Mira Loma, Calif., facilities. This investment will help Anheuser-Busch, the fastest-growing supplier in total alcohol, fuel increased production of Michelob Ultra and Cutwater and expand local manufacturing skills training.

Today's announcement is part of Anheuser-Busch's ongoing Brewing Futures initiative through which the company is investing $600 million in its U.S. operations across 2025 and 2026. 

Brendan Whitworth, CEO, said: "Anheuser-Busch is committed to supporting the communities where our employees live and work. Investments in facilities like Los Angeles and Mira Loma help us strengthen our operations while creating and sustaining jobs and continuing to drive economic growth throughout California. We're proud to continue investing in American manufacturing and in the hardworking Californians who help to produce America's most iconic beer and spirits brands every day."

This new $21 million investment in Anheuser-Busch's Southern California facilities helps fuel production of Michelob ULTRA, the top-selling and fastest-growing beer in America, while upgrading canning and bottling operations. It will also enhance production of Cutwater, the No. 1 spirits-based cocktail brand in the U.S.³, and Phorm Energy, a top 15 brand in total energy. Additionally, the investment will increase rail capacity, strengthening transportation capabilities and route to market.

Anheuser-Busch will also open a new technical skills training center inside the Los Angeles Brewery—one of 15 new centers nationwide—to upskill our operators and technicians in electrical and mechanical systems associated with brewery equipment. The company plans to upskill more than 90% of its manufacturing workforce across the U.S. over the next five years.
