The American Companies That Aren’t Actually American Anymore

Budweiser

Budweiser, which is America’s favorite beer, is not owned by Americans anymore but was purchased back in 2008 by AB InBev. Anheuser-Busch agreed to be bought from AB InBev for around $52 billion, making it the world’s largest brewer. Budweiser was first introduced in 1876 by Carl Conrad & Co. and was inspired by a German pale lager beer.

The Busch family was the owner of Anheuser-Busch for several years but ended up losing the company as they allowed too many investors to invest in the beer company. Although Budweiser changed ownership in 2008, it is still the most popular beer in America and around the world.
