Louis home, the shots from then on have been called from InBev's headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. Anheuser-Busch InBev still operates a dozen breweries in the United States, as well as hubs that feed into commercial brewing, including a glass-manufacturing plant and hop farms.

The company employs thousands of Americans, who produce brands such as Budweiser that have been phenomenally popular since at least the early s, when AB accounted for nearly one-fourth of all domestic beer sales.
