“Adolphus Busch was the first American brewer to use pasteurization to keep beer fresh; the first to use mechanical refrigeration and refrigerated railroad cars, which he introduced in 1876; and the first to bottle beer extensively.”
“Anheuser-Busch Companies...Since 2008, it has been wholly owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (AB InBev), now the world’s largest brewing company, which owns multiple global brands, notably Budweiser, Michelob, Stella Artois, and Beck’s.”

InBev
Heineken
Molson/Coors
Kirin
Carlsburg
