7 Big American Brands That Quietly Became Foreign-Owned

6. Budweiser 

Budweiser has been a long-time staple American beer brand brewed by Anheuser-Busch since 1876. In 2008 it became part of the global brewing giant AB InBev when Belgian-based InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch in 2008. This $52 billion merger created the world’s largest beer company, centered in Leuven, Belgium. It brought together iconic brands like Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois under foreign ownership.
