This page covers existing Bud Light production at that location, with investment and additional Michelob ULTRA capacity still planned, rather than every Bud Light can, market or flavor. [4]

Is Bud Light made in China or the USA?

The manufacturer reports that 99% of its beer sold in the US is made in the US. That aggregate is not an origin guarantee for every brand variant or export-market package. [3]

Same factory, different label

Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob ULTRA and Stella Artois are in the same brewer’s portfolio. Common ownership does not establish identical recipes or a shared production line for every package. [1] [2]
