It was brilliant to be at the new (and enormous!) warehouse at AB InBev Magor which can store up to 23 million pints of beer. The company are using new technology that’s a global first for the Anheuser-Busch InBev group.

Since it opened in 1979, the brewery has been a really important employer locally and it has continued to expand and develop its operation – including through the mass production of low- and no-alcohol beers.

The Welsh Government and others have recognised that drink production is a growth sector in South Wales, and the opening of the new warehouse by a large international company like AB InBev is a vote of confidence in our region.
