LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Anheuser-Busch’s Van Nuys brewery will begin 
producing and distributing bottles of hand sanitizer as the coronavirus outbreak 
continues to threaten much of the country.

Anheuser-Busch is the largest beer maker to date to switch gears 
amid the coronavirus outbreak, following in the footsteps of breweries 
in Europe and smaller distillers here in the U.S.

We have a long history of supporting our communities and 
employees - this time is no different. That’s why we are using our 
supply and logistics network to begin producing and distributing 
bottles of hand sanitizer to accommodate the growing needs 
across the United States.

The St. Louis, Mo.-based beer manufacturer employees over 
30,000 people and operates 12 breweries in the United States. 
It’s best known for producing Budweiser, Stella Artois and Beck’s.

The brewery said it would work with the Red Cross to determine 
where the hand sanitizer would be needed most.

In Southern California, smaller breweries and distilleries — like 
the Blinky Owl in Santa Ana, the Portuguese Bend in Long Beach 
and Amass in Santa Monica have also started manufacturing 
hand sanitizer.

Since the coronavirus outbreak reached American shores, 
hand sanitizer has been a precious commodity in stores.
