I brought you a peek already, and now this press release from Anheuser-Busch:

January 18, 2022 (New York, NY ) – Over the last four years, Anheuser-Busch has been executing a consistent consumer-first commercial strategy to lead future growth. That has resulted in a solid foundation for transformation by focusing on industry-leading innovation and a rebalanced portfolio. As America’s leading brewer continues writing the next chapter in its storied history, its current momentum will be further fueled by a more premium and forward-looking logo that reinforces the company’s purpose of creating a future with more cheers.
United by its collective ambition to make a positive and lasting impact on the world, Anheuser-Busch recently introduced a new global purpose that enables the company to unlock, harness, and realign the power of its unique capabilities, infrastructure, and assets.

To further bring to life the company’s purpose, Anheuser-Busch today unveiled an updated visual expression of its iconic logo. The new look is equal parts inspiration and aspiration – respecting the company’s proud heritage while looking forward to its bright future. The “A&Eagle,” one of Anheuser-Busch’s most distinctive assets, is now rendered in a dynamic gold color that mirrors the golden hue of beer and barley, the cornerstones of Anheuser-Busch’s business. The eagle is now facing to the right and firmly in flight, boldly gazing into the future
