Baldwinsville brewery set for upgrades as Anheuser-Busch boosts spending on U.S. operations in 2026

The brewer said the plan will add training centers and veteran programs as it aims to upskill 90% of its manufacturing workforce.

  • On Wednesday, Anheuser-Busch announced a $600 million investment in U.S. operations through 2026, expanding brewery capacity and worker training. CEO Brendan Whitworth said the commitment strengthens supply chains and creates lasting manufacturing careers.
  • Expanding the 'Brewing Futures' initiative, the investment doubles prior funding and builds on manufacturing upgrades at facilities in Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Baldwinsville, New York launched last year.
  • The company plans 15 new technical skills training centers to upskill 90% of its workforce while partnering with 'Heroes MAKE America' to assist veterans; more than 2,700 have already received training in St. Louis.
  • Across nine flagship facilities, Anheuser-Busch estimates 99% of its U.S.-sold beer is manufactured domestically, underscoring the company's long-term commitment to American production.
  • White House spokesperson Liz Huston credited the investment to President Trump's 'unwavering commitment' to rebuilding American industry, citing recent executive orders strengthening tariffs on imported steel, aluminum, and copper.
