What is your beer of choice? There is a high possibility that it is owned by the world’s largest beer company – Anheuser-Busch InBev. Anheuser-Busch InBev owns well over 500 iconic alcoholic beverage brands across the globe. Many of these brands were created by AB InBev, but they also acquired hundreds through mergers with Interbrew and SABMiller. Budweiser is the flagship beer of the Anheuser-Busch InBev empire. For decades, Bud Light was the best-selling beer in America before it faced some controversy and was taken over by Model Especial in 2023. However, Modelo Especial is another brand owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, so the boycott only fed into the same pockets. Global brands owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev include Budweiser, Corona, Busch Light, Natural Light, Shock Top Belgian, Stella Artois, and Ziegenbock. These brands are marketed as competitors when in reality they are far from it.
