Anheuser-Busch plant in Columbus honored

By Rick Published: March 17, 2011

The workers at the Anheuser-Busch InBev brewery in Columbus are smiling big. The company has named the plant its best brewery in North America. The Columbus brewery, which beat out 17 other breweries for that honor, is now waiting to hear where it will place in the company's global competition. The Columbus plant is up against five other regional winners. Breweries are judged on various criteria, including quality, productivity, safety, environment and management. "It is a very comprehensive and quantitative process," plant manager Kevin Lee said. He said he's holding off on celebrating the North American award until finding out the global results. But Columbus workers will definitely have a celebration.
