US-based brewer Anheuser-Busch (A-B) is spending USD8 million on a series of improvements to its flagship brewery in St Louis, Missouri.   The finance is part of the nearly USD2 billion A-B has invested in upgrading equipment and production processes at facilities across the US in the past five years, most recently a USD7m overhaul of its brewery in Fairfield, California.   The commitment adds to the more than USD165m A-B has spent on the St Louis campus since 2019.   “This brewery is as iconic as the beer we brew, and these investments help ensure that we not only have the infrastructure but also the people and talent to build on our legacy for generations to come,” said A-B’s chief executive Brendan Whitworth.   The financial injection follows a challenging period for the company whose beers include Budweiser and Bud Light.    A poorly received marketing campaign in the US last year for Bud Light, which at the time was the nation’s best-selling beer, led to a significant fall in domestic sales and volumes, which in turn impacted the sales of Ball Corporation, A-B’s largest supplier of beverage cans.   As a result of drinkers boycotting Bud Light, Colorado-based Ball partly blamed its 11% decline in profit last year on “customer exposure to a US mass beer brand disruption”.    In May 2023, Constellation Brands’ Modelo Especial beer took the country’s top sales spot and volumes at A-B continued to fall in the first three months of this year.   Founded in St Louis more than 165 years ago, A-B is part of the Belgium-based Anheuser-Busch InBev Group, the world’s largest brewer, and which also produces the Stella Artois brand.

Australia-based drinks producer Billy has launched a range of natural spring waters in aluminium cans in partnership with Orora Beverages.      The eco-conscious company is looking to tackle the environmental impact of single-use plastics, and instead use recyclable aluminium. The company sourced the 500ml cans for its range from Australian canmaker Orora.    “With a mission to protect Australia’s beaches, billabongs, and bays, Billy is set to revolutionise the way we think about packaged water,” said founder Kristian Johannsen. “We’re excited to bring a sustainable and on-brand approach to packaged water in Australia. Billy is here to lead from the front and not follow international competition.”   According to the National Plastics Plan Summary from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Australia’s single-use plastic consumption has reached one million tonnes annually, with around 130,000 tonnes leaking into the country’s marine environment each year.    Billy’s aluminium cans have labels designed to match the freshness of the water inside, which hails from the springs of Mt Buninyong, Victoria, the company said. Still and sparkling options are available.
