A UK-based subsidiary of brewing giant AB InBev, Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I, announced plans Thursday to dedicate £115 million, or about $160.7 million, to expand the production capacity and efficiency of two of its UK breweries.
The investment comes as the UK is preparing for an economic recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. AB InBev will add modern and eco-friendly infrastructure to its breweries in Lancashire and South Wales to increase the capabilities of their brewing, canning, and bottling assets. Across the two sites, the company will increase capacity by about 3.6 million hL/yr, or about 630 million pints of beer.
