This latest investment is part of Anheuser-Busch's ongoing Brewing Futures initiative through which the company is investing $600 million in its U.S. 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.

"Anheuser-Busch is committed to supporting the communities where our employees live and work,” says Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth. “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 investment will allow Anheuser-Busch to upgrade can and bottle lines and add new production capabilities for Cutwater. 

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 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.

Anheuser-Busch has operated in New York for more than 40 years, investing more than $100 million in its Baldwinsville brewery since 2021. The hundreds of New Yorkers employed at this facility produce more than 50 Anheuser-Busch brands.
