Anheuser-Busch Announces $85 Million Cartersville Expansion

CARTERSVILLE, GA - Anheuser-Busch is planning to significantly expand its operations at its Cartersville facility.

The $85 million investment will create 12 new jobs and create new brewing capabilities at the facility, according to a news release. No specifics were given.

"We are deeply committed to the Cartersville community," said Kevin Fahrenkrog, senior general manager at Anheuser-Busch's Cartersville brewery.

"The U.S. beer industry is back to growth and over the next three years, we will expand the brewery's capabilities to brew some of our best-selling brands right here in Georgia."

Anheuser-Busch’s Cartersville location, which opened in 1993, brews more than 20 of the company’s brands and is the original producer of canned emergency drinking water for disaster relief.

The Cartersville facility was Anheuser-Busch’s first brewery to be certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to brew and package Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold.

“Anheuser-Busch continues to be a source of community pride for a number of reasons,” said Cartersville Mayor Matt Santini.

“This latest expansion is just the latest example of their commitment to bring quality jobs to our community. We are appreciative of their investment and partnership with our city.”

Founded more than 165 years ago, Anheuser-Busch has 23 breweries across the country.
