ST. LOUIS -- Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. today announced its "Heroes
Salute" to honor the U.S. Armed Services by offering free single-day
admission to its SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks to active duty military,
active reservists, U.S. Coast Guard, National Guardsmen and as many as three
direct dependents beginning Feb. 7 through Dec. 31, 2005. In addition,
Anheuser-Busch will air a 60-second "salute" television ad during the
broadcast of the Super Bowl to honor those who serve our country.

Heroes Salute will be officially introduced to the military on Feb.
6 in conjunction with a special Anheuser-Busch viewing party for Sunday's
big game at Ft. Bragg, N.C., home of the XVIII CAPITAL AIRBORNE CORPS and
U.S. ARMY Special Operations Command. Pre-game activities include
appearances by the world-famous Clydesdales, exotic animals and shows from
Busch Gardens and SeaWorld parks with Julie Scardina, the Jacksonville
Jaguar Cheerleaders, live music by Blues Traveler and game-day food and
beverages compliments of Anheuser-Busch. Guests will also be treated to a
special "sneak preview" presentation of Anheuser-Busch's advertising for
Super Sunday's championship match up.

"In our own small way, we're giving something back to the brave men
and women and their families who make sacrifices every day for our country,"
said August A. Busch IV, president, Anheuser-Busch Inc. "As a salute to
America's heroes, we wish to extend a message of thanks and an invitation."

Any active duty, active reserve, ready reserve service member or
National Guard is entitled to free admission under the program. He or she
need only register, either online at <http://www.herosalute.com/> or in the
entrance plaza of participating parks, and show a Department of Defense
photo ID. As many as three direct dependents of military personnel also are
entitled to free admission. Dependents may take advantage of the offer
without their service member, though an adult must accompany minor
dependents.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg and SeaWorld San Antonio are seasonal
operations that will remain closed until spring 2005. Military personnel
interested in visiting those parks should check operating schedules at
<http://www.herosalute.com/> . The remaining parks, SeaWorld Orlando, Busch
Gardens Tampa Bay and SeaWorld San Diego are open year round.

Anheuser-Busch has previously honored U.S. armed forces with free
admission to its theme parks. Nearly 2 million service members and their
families visited free during Yellow Ribbon Summer following the first Gulf
War and during the Anheuser-Busch Salute to America's Heroes, a post-9/11
tribute that included all branches of the U.S. military.

In addition, last year Anheuser-Busch donated $1 million to create
the Intrepid/Anheuser-Busch Fallen Heroes Fund to provide scholarships to
spouses and children of U.S. military and coalition personnel killed during
the war in Iraq.

Anheuser-Busch has supported the U.S. armed services for nearly 150
years. In 1921, Adolphus Busch's widow, Lilly, opened the Busch family
garden to the public, donating admission fees to disabled veterans.

The company also supports veterans' memorials in Washington, the
Korean Memorial and the Vietnam Wall. The company also provides scholarship
funds for USO members and Desert Storm survivors.

Based in St. Louis, Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. is the leading U.S.
brewer and holds a 50 percent share in Grupo Modelo, Mexico's leading
brewer. In a survey of 10,000 business leaders and securities analysts,
Anheuser-Busch ranked first overall in quality of products and services
among nearly 600 companies researched in FORTUNE magazine's 2004 "America's
Most Admired Companies" listing. The company also is one of the largest
theme park operators in the United States, is a major manufacturer of
aluminum cans and is the world's largest recycler of aluminum beverage
containers.
