Anheuser-Busch has been in the news lately for being sold to InBev of Belgium. However, good old American know-how continues to be one of its products.
The St. Louis-based beverage giant has created a non-alcoholic subsidiary called 9th Street Beverages, specializing in energy drinks and high-end waters. It includes such drinks as 180 Energy, BORBA Skin Balance Water, Icelandic Glacial and Monster.
Sales for A-B’s non-alcohol portfolio are up 77% this year, and the company says it is working on new “energy, specialty and new age product concepts.”
A-B's first non-alcoholic drink was 180 Orange-Citrus Energy Drink, in 2001.
