Anheuser-Busch has announced a $6.5 million investment in its Williamsburg brewery. Over the past 5 years, Anheuser-Busch has invested nearly $2 billion in its facilities across the country.
Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch, said: “At Anheuser-Busch, we’ve been producing high quality, great tasting products for generations, and continued investments in our facilities, like Williamsburg, help to position our business, communities, and industry for continued success.”
The new $6.5 million investment in the Williamsburg brewery will go toward capital infrastructure projects including overhaul equipment and additional improvements that drive efficiencies across the facility. Investments will also be made to enhance the capacity and capabilities of the brewery’s warehouse.
Anheuser-Busch has called Virginia home since 1972 and remains one of James City County’s key employers and contributors to the regional economy. The brewery employs over 400 people at the Williamsburg facility.
“Today’s announcement is another demonstration of Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to our brewery, which has been in operation for more than 50 years,” said Tom Jokerst, General Manager, Anheuser-Busch Williamsburg Brewery.
“This $6.5 million investment will allow us to continue brewing some of America’s most recognized and beloved brands right here in Virginia and make certain that we are able to uphold the highest-quality brewing standards for our products.”
