Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to environmental stewardship dates back to their founder Adolphus Busch, who, in the late 1800s, began recycling grain left over from the brewing process, using if for cattle feed. This practice continues today.

They also strive to conserve water and energy through their Bio-Energy Recovery Systems technology, a process that reclaims nutrient-rich leftover water from the brewing process to create renewable energy that provides up to 15 percent of the fuel for nine of our U.S. breweries as well as their brewery in Wuhan, China.
