Anheuser Busch 1

Anheuser-Busch first got its start in 1860 when Eberhard Anheuser bought the struggling Bavarian Brewery in St. Louis, Missouri. Eberhard lacked the experience in the brewing industry, but luckily, his son-in-law Adolphus Busch was a young brewery supplier with great knowledge in the brewing industry. In 1864 Adolphus and Eberhard became partners and started to brew a variety of beers to satisfy the tastes of a growing and diverse nation. This small brewery soon grew into a great brewing empire that we now know today as Anheuser-Busch. The early years of the company were very demanding, but Adolphus Busch had the determination to make his company succeed. Anheuser-Busch got its first great taste of success in 1876 when the world’s most popular beer and America’s first national beer brand Budweiser was introduced. Ever since Anheuser-Busch was formed, the American people have always been drawn to it. This can be contributed to the fact that Anheuser-Busch represents the American people, they are known for being very hard working, having a lot of determination, and most importantly being family oriented. Ever since the start of the company in 1864, a family member has overseen the company. Since its founding more than 150 years ago, Anheuser-Busch has been a leader in the beer industry. With nearly 50 percent of the U.S. domestic market share, and with more than 40 brands and 12 breweries strategically located throughout the United States, Anheuser-Busch has the resources in place to enhance beer industry volume, while continuing to meet the changing needs of today’s consumers. Anheuser-Busch is well known for being the life of the party, and this doesn’t just mean alcoholic drinks. Anheuser-Busch operates nine theme parks including Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove, and SeaWorld. Anheuser-Busch also plays a huge role in sporting events. They sponsor twenty-six Major League Baseball teams, and even have a stadium that is home to the St. Louis Cardinals.
