Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV or AB InBev is multinational drink and beer brewing company based in Belgium and is the world’s largest brewer. AB InBev has over 500 beer brands and one of those brands is Bud Light. Despite a tumultuous year in 2023 AB InBev is still the world’s largest beer brewer and largest beverage company, dwarfing the No. 2 beer brewing company in the world — Heineken. Furthermore, they have 169,000 colleagues based in nearly 50 countries and their 500+ brands are sold in more than 100 countries. In 2022, they did roughly $58 billion U.S. dollars worldwide. Moreover, AB InBev has a global functional management office in New York City, and regional headquarters in São Paulo, London, St. Louis, Mexico City, Bremen, and Johannesburg. And there is so much more — particularly in the areas of their environmental impact and sustainability efforts. So all the vitriolic nonsense published about Bud Light or AB InBev is just caustic noise. Frankly, they’re a beast. “Beer🍺, it’s what America and the world drinks.” — Stephen Carter King #Beer #CraftBeer #NonAlcoholic #BevAlc #Brewer #Brewery #Taproom #Brewpub #ConsumerBehavior #BrandAwareness #ActionableInsights #BusinessInsights #DataAnalysis #PredictiveAnalytics #BusinessIntelligence #SocietalSubcurrents ✦ ✦ ✦ Stephen Carter King Chief of Growth and Marketing + Beerconomist • Sherpa • Team Leader • CEO of Beerconomy & Co., a Kings Crossing subsidiary Steve@KingsCrossing.com Beerconomy is a data and business intelligence source, empowering people with insights.
