Crown Beverages is a beer, wine and liquor wholesaler and distributor serving the South Carolina market. Crown Beverages is a member of Anheuser-Busch wholesalers. Together with 12 breweries and a vast network of shippers, Anheuser-Busch provides the most extensive and effective beer distribution system in the brewing industry. Refrigerated warehouses and computer-based inventory systems ensure its retailers and customers get the freshest, highest-quality beer available. The company has brewed and sold this premium lager since 1876. The distinctive taste and drinkability of 'The King of Beers' have made Budweiser the largest-selling beer in the world. Introduced nationally in 1982, Bud Light is brewed with a malt and hops ratio different from Budweiser for a distinctively crisp taste with fewer calories. It became the country's number one light beer in 1994 and has grown at a double-digit pace for the past eight years. As part of an equity investment in the Redhook Ale Brewery of Seattle, Anheuser-Busch wholesalers have distributed its microbrewery products in select areas of the country since 1994. Brands include Redhook Extra Special Bitter (ESB) Ale, Ballard Bitter Ale and Blackhook Porter. Crown Beverages distributes other Anheuser-Busch products and is headquartered in Florence, S.C.
