The Jacksonville brewery, a cornerstone of Anheuser-Busch's U.S. operations since 1969, has played a crucial role in the $490 million capital investments the brewer has made in Florida to date. Anheuser-Busch operates more than 120 facilities across the country and, with its distributor partners, employs 65,000 hardworking Americans. As the nation's leading brewer, Anheuser-Busch has the unique ability to create U.S. jobs and drive economic prosperity at this scale.
Craig Tomeo, Senior General Manager of the Anheuser-Busch Jacksonville Brewery, remarked, "We have been proud to brew in Jacksonville for the last 55 years, and this new $10 million investment will not only improve our local facility here but also provide a positive economic impact to our Duval County community.
