Dated 1979 Stock size documentExtremely low serial number 43 Great vignette of farmer, scientist, and factory Anheuser-Busch Inc., a cornerstone of the American brewing industry, has a history that spans over 150 years. The company’s roots trace back to 1852 when George Schneider opened a small brewery in St. Louis, Missouri. However, financial difficulties led to its sale, and in 1860, the brewery came under the ownership of Eberhard Anheuser, a German immigrant and successful soap manufacturer. Initially named E. Anheuser & Co., the business soon evolved through strategic partnerships. The defining shift came when Adolphus Busch, another German immigrant and the son-in-law of Eberhard Anheuser, joined the company in 1864. Adolphus, a visionary entrepreneur, played a transformative role in expanding the business and adopting innovative practices. By 1879, the company was renamed Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association, reflecting the growing influence of Busch. Adolphus introduced revolutionary ideas such as pasteurization for longer shelf life and refrigerated railcars for nationwide distribution, which laid the foundation for the company’s prominence. In 1876, Anheuser-Busch launched its flagship beer, Budweiser, which became one of the first truly national brands in the U.S. The company leveraged aggressive marketing and consistent quality to dominate the American beer market. Over the following decades, it expanded its product line and acquired additional breweries, solidifying its leadership. The Busch family maintained control of the company and passed it through generations, adapting to challenges such as Prohibition, during which the company survived by diversifying into products like non-alcoholic "near beer" and soft drinks. The second half of the 20th century saw Anheuser-Busch rise as the undisputed leader in the American beer industry. Its commitment to quality, efficient production processes, and savvy marketing—including memorable advertising campaigns with mascots like the Budweiser Clydesdales and the iconic "Budweiser Frogs"—cemented its reputation. By the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Anheuser-Busch expanded its global footprint, forming partnerships and acquiring stakes in international markets. A significant change occurred in 2008 when Anheuser-Busch was acquired by InBev, a Belgian-Brazilian brewing conglomerate, for approximately $52 billion, forming Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), the world’s largest brewing company. The merger marked the end of more than a century of American ownership but enhanced the company's global reach and market power. Today, Anheuser-Busch continues to be a dominant player in the beverage industry, maintaining its heritage through brands like Budweiser and Bud Light while expanding into craft and specialty beers to cater to changing consumer preferences.
