AB InBev is the world’s largest publicly traded brewer and owns Budweiser and Stella Artois.
Anheuser-Busch InBev was formed in 2008 when Belgian-Brazilian brewer InBev acquired the American brewer Anheuser-Busch. The transaction joined brands from Anheuser-Busch with InBev’s international brewing portfolio. The company is commonly abbreviated as AB InBev.
Its brand portfolio includes Budweiser, Stella Artois, Beck’s, Corona, and Michelob Ultra. Brand ownership and local brewing arrangements can vary by country, so a beer sold under a familiar label is not necessarily brewed by the same company everywhere.
AB InBev is headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, and its shares are listed on Euronext Brussels. It became a very large consumer-goods company through acquisitions, including the 2016 purchase of SABMiller. Market capitalization rankings can move daily as share prices change.
