Anheuser-Busch has announced a $13 million investment in its Baldwinsville, New York facility. This investment will help Anheuser-Busch meet growing consumer demand for Michelob ULTRA and Cutwater, the top two fastest-growing alcohol brands in the country, and expand local manufacturing skills training.

This latest investment is part of Anheuser-Busch’s ongoing Brewing Futures initiative through which the company is investing $600 million in its US operations across 2025 and 2026. The initiative builds on Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to investing in people, breweries and communities by creating and sustaining manufacturing jobs, building the manufacturing workforce for the future, and strengthening manufacturing career opportunities for veterans.

Brendan Whitworth, CEO, Anheuser-Busch said: “Anheuser-Busch is committed to supporting the communities where our employees live and work. Investments in facilities like our Baldwinsville Brewery help us strengthen our operations while creating and sustaining jobs and continuing to drive economic growth throughout Central New York State. We’re proud to continue investing in American manufacturing and in the hardworking New Yorkers who help to produce America’s most iconic beer and spirits brands every day.”

This new $13 million investment in Anheuser-Busch’s Baldwinsville Brewery will help increase production of Michelob ULTRA, the top-selling and fastest-growing beer in America, as well as upgrade can and bottle lines. It will also add new production capabilities for Cutwater to help meet rapidly growing demand for the number one spirits-based cocktail brand in the US.

As part of this investment, Anheuser-Busch will also open a new technical skills training center inside the Baldwinsville Brewery, one of 15 that the company is opening nationwide, to upskill employees across mechanical, electrical, digital, and operational areas. This new center builds on the Baldwinsville Brewery’s already strong technical skills training programs. This year, the Brewery is celebrating the first two graduates from its Maintenance Technician Development Program—developed in partnership with New York State, The Manufacturers Association of Central New York (MACNY) and the Teamsters—who went through hands-on training to advance from packaging operators to electricians.
