Adolphus Busch

Born: 1839 | Died: 1930

Entrepreneur

Adolphus Busch, born in Kastel close to Frankfurt, was the cofounder of Anheuser-Busch. He used the money, which he had inherited from his father to start a wholesale brewer’s supply store and bought a share in the Bavarian brewery from Eberhard Anheuser, his future father in law.

After the death of Eberhard Anheuser, the company’s name was changed to Anheuser Busch Company. The company’s success came when Adolphus found a method to pasteurize the beer so it kept fresh and could be shipped all over the world. At this time Anheuser-Busch operates as the world’s third largest brewing company.
