Anheuser-Busch Celebrates America’s 250th Birthday With Patriotic Summer Of Beer, Partnerships & Events

LEADING AMERICAN MANUFACTURER WILL BE THE OFFICIAL BEER SPONSOR AND

AN OFFICIAL CANNED COCKTAIL SPONSOR OF AMERICA250

St. Louis, Missouri – June 5, 2026 — This is the summer of historic American milestones, and as one of the nation’s most iconic companies, Anheuser-Busch will be supporting these celebrations like only we can. As we celebrate America’s 250^th birthday, we are also commemorating the 150^th anniversary of the iconic Budweiser brand.

Our brands are more than spectators to the American story—they are stitched into its very fabric. We proudly source $700M in ingredients from over 700 U.S. farmers, including 100% of our barley, rice, and corn for our American beers. More than 10% of our workforce is made up of active service members and veterans, and serving those who serve is a key part of who we are.

So as we toast to two and a half centuries of America, we aren’t just celebrating the country, we’re giving back to the people who built it, including American veterans, first responders, and the farmers who grow the high-quality ingredients in our products. This summer we are doubling down on our longstanding partnerships with Folds of Honor and Farm Rescue to put real, direct support into the hands of military, first responder, and farming families.

• Folds of Honor: For 16 years, Folds of Honor has been the cornerstone of our commitment to those who serve. Alongside our industry-leading brands and wholesaler partners, we’ve proudly donated over $37 million to the cause, unlocking more than 7,400 life-changing academic scholarships for the families of our nation’s heroes. This summer we’ll continue raising awareness for the cause by showing up with Folds of Honor in our communities across the country along with the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales.

 • Farm Rescue: Anheuser-Busch and its Busch Light brand have proudly partnered with Farm Rescue since 2019, helping to raise nearly $1.5 million for the organization to date. Now in our seventh year partnering with Farm Rescue, we continue to help provide critical support to family farms in need—reinforcing our enduring commitment to the farming community.

Additionally, Anheuser-Busch is stepping up as the official beer sponsor and an official canned cocktail sponsor of America250. Our brands will be featured at the biggest Semiquincentennial celebrations that will be taking place across the country this summer, including:

• New York City, NY: Times Square Celebration (July 3, 2026)

• St. Louis, MO: Celebrate 250 through Celebrate St. Louis (July 3 – July 4, 2026)

• Los Angeles, CA: America’s Block Party (July 4, 2026)

• Medora, ND: Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Opening (July 4, 2026)

• Washington, D.C.: The iconic Budweiser Clydesdales will appear at a variety of consumer events on and around July 4.
